Great looking wagon, superb weathering!

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

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. 👍🏻

Cool!

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

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.
