Filthy Seven Revival

[Dr. Cranky]

Well, I finally got around to doing some more work on this model from last year . . . and although I am short a couple of little details, it's looking pretty finished to me . . .

That REVELL BLACK WIDOW kit is fabulous . . . it's quickly gotten on my top ten list right along with the 69 NOVA.

WOW! This model looks amazing! The rust on the body, especially where its rusted through looks so real! Awesome Job!

[RTK434]

Looks awesome as usual! I hope someday to be able to weather half as good as that. Your a true artist when it comes to rust!

Another master piece Virg. The rust is spot on. It looks real enough to pass as a 1:1

was this the one in the diaroma? it had a for sale sign on it? or am i thinkin' of the wrong one?

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks, chaps . . . no this one has not been used in a diorama, although it could fit perfectly in one . . .

I took another round of better pics . . .

Cranky, Your Rusting and weathering technique's just amaze every time I see them.

Thanks, and yes, I often wear safety glove just in case I poke my finger with this rusty metal---oh, wait, it's plastic!!!

It's definitely a trueism of Cranky's work, the words "rust never sleeps".

Your builds just knock me out!

Wow! Awesome work. I tell you, that really takes talent. Anyone, what with the paints, polishes and polishing kits can do a spit shined new car, but it really takes talent to make plastic look like rusted metsl, and you have done it!

That is just simply awesome! Great work weathering this barn yard find.

That looks like ######, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. Excellent technique. You have the touch. I wonder why real cars don't look as cool as your model when they rust out like that.
