Rudy Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) Nice looking. I love it!!!! I have the same kit in the works...... What were your weathering(rust) methods? It looks life-like!!!! Rudy Edited October 28, 2009 by Rudy
Guest Gramps-xrds Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Awesome job. It looks like it could be real. The rust is as authentic as you could want. The details are killer. Can't wait till it's done.
george 53 Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 I gatta agree with the guys, it does look good,BUT,,, That seat just looks TOOOO nice ta be in that rusted out body. Hey, maybe he jus re-upholstered it an ain't got around ta fixin up the body? Looks GOOD either way!

Rudy for the main rust i use red primer. then dab on brown and red craft paint. dabbing gives it a texture. then add pastels over it for different shades.
Raul_Perez Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Very nicely done!! The texture and coloring looks GREAT!! Thanks for sharing,
noname Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 You are very good at weathering. I do like the seat . It looks like real vynal. Where did it come from? Did you make it?
Rider Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Neat look JT, I'm going to have to give that try sometime.
Alyn Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Nice work! I thought the rust looked quite realistic, but a little over done, until you added the yellow and blue. The dabs of color finished it off nicely. Now it looks just right. The seat color is great too. It reminds me of old station wagon and truck seats I've seen years ago with a cheap redo in a similar color of naugahyde. Looks like you may have added a slight dusting of a darker chalk on the seat?

Lyle Willits Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 I'm not knocking the build - just trying to help. The magazines are too large for 25th scale. Full size magazines (like HOT ROD) should be 0.36 inches wide and 0.47 inches long.
Geezerman Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Looks like a great start. Repetition of large file size fotos too much for me (dial up), I 'm leaving the thread halfway thru the 3rd set.
Alyn Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 I made the bad mistake of using the headlights when I built this kit. Rushing a build is never a good idea. Chrome headlights should be outlawed. FYI, the AMT 29 Ford roadster has the same lights, but with the clear lenses. I have both, but didn't think about looking in the AMT when I built the truck. I like how each layer of paint or other media adds another dimension to the image. I've applied a bit of chalk powder scraped from pastel chalks and have had mixed results with it sticking. Do you apply anything before or after the chalk to help it adhere?

I find you need to use pastel over a flat paint
