Glassparman Posted October 2 Posted October 2 This was my second attempt at salt chipping my paint. This is my rendition of an old Salt Flats racer that was pulled from a barn to go race. I wanted something better for the tonneau cover snaps but ended up just dotting with a marker. The cover is tissue paper coated in Mod Podge to hold its shape. I spread out a strip of glue and a strip of salt and rolled the tires through both. I didn’t like the large size of the front tires but they were a set and I figured back in the day, the non-sponsored racers grabbed what they could. 9
Claude Thibodeau Posted October 3 Posted October 3 Hi Michael! Totally period-correct, and spot on. You nailed it. Bravo! CT 1
Roger U Posted October 3 Posted October 3 That’s a really good looking model. Nice details and the weathering looks very realistic. 1
sidcharles Posted October 3 Posted October 3 just looking at the build up of salt, i can feel the sunburn on my neck . great job weathering the body paint. 1
Alan Barton Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago You had my attention at Salt! This is such a nice rendition of an early salt car. I have also tried flour to create a salty tire look - it looks a little closer to scale, even though it doesn't sparkle as well as the real thing! Cheers Alan
