noname Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) I had this thing all painted up with rust and grime to boot. But... it didn't look quite right to me. So I took a chance on ruining what I had done and thrown some salt and paint on. I went with a darker blue (enamel instead of laquer ) hopeing some spots of lighter blue would come through. which it did. I still have to lighten up the upper surfaces a bit, sand the sheen away and add a little of this and that. I think it turned out okay. What to you all say? Better before or after?

Foxer Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I think the darker blue adds to it, especially with the lighter showing through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noname Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 I think your right. I also think that there was too much sporadic rust on the earlier version. Of course this is just another starting point. It won't look right until I add some washes and pastel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I agree with the others. The extra work adds more texture to it. It looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noname Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 Thank you for the comments guys. The kit is the Amt and I used the salt technique with acrylics and pastels. It all starts with the red oxide primer. There is alot of ways to weather models. I've used Sophisticated Finishes before as well with favorable results. It's all good and alot of fun! After I go back over it with some more acrylics and pastels, I'll post more pics. This was intended to be an old 50's drag car. I'm making a curbside out of it so hopefully it won't take too long.
