Nice build.

Great looking wagon, superb weathering!

Realistic looking patina paint finish and trim. Like the stance and the wheel & tire combo.

awesome job

What's not to love?! Very realistic, except I'm in Kentucky, so I'd expect a lot more lower body rust!  Seriously, though, why aren't you happy with it? I've got a couple of these on the bench slowly coming together: it's a nice kit. Hope I can match your quality!

Great weathering on your wagon. Wheel size and stance are perfect for this build. Well done Mark.  

P.S. Your garage scene is impressive too.

That’s cool! I’m planning a couple of builds with wear and patina, l hope they end up as nicely weathered as this one. Nice work. 👍🏻

[ChrisR]

Cool!

What's wrong with it?

Thanks everyone for all the great comments.

Thanks, the kit is fine I'm just not happy with my weathering.

My weathering just looks painted on to me, not my best work at all.

[SpeedAndViolence]

Bah..  

You're being your own worst critic. Knock it off. 

 

I'm saying this...because I need to stop being my own worst critic. 

The pursuit of perfection, hinders progress.

Don't be too critical to your work. I would be super happy if I could make as realistic patina as you have made here. I really like this.

Thanks Kelly, It's an AMT kit and should be pretty easy to find.

Thanks I will out the door first thing in the morning!!! Hitting up some local hobby shops!!

I think it looks great. Specifically the worn through paint. I've had/have old cars like that and it looks bang on to me. Also years ago a friend bought a '64 Impala that had a rust spot on the hood from sitting under a tree and it looked much like yours.

I've seen it recently so you should find it. There's one version that comes with a nice blown hemi and little trailer and a bunch of other goodies, including a squirrel. I recommend it
