crazyjim Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Nice beater. How did you tone down the window trim chrome?
jedimastergary Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Nice work looks like it was left out side the barn to long and got beat up by the weather and stuff. Cool looks like a rat rodders dream.
MikeMc Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 i like it with the exception to the watch parts stuck on the outside. they just don't fit and look out of place to me. otherwise the weathering and use of the salt technique are spot on and very, very cool! Dave Gotta agree with Dave...the work is Bitc**n
Railfreak78 Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 One day I'll get the salt to work I can never get it back off Anyway nice rod and I like the lower bumper too.
CEKPETHO BCE Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Very nice model. Can anyone explain the whole salt thing though?
Mooneyzs Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 This is a great looking build. Love how it turned out.
made007 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Very nice model. Can anyone explain the whole salt thing though? its for the weathering effect, check the tips an triks forum and search you'll see, btw this is a great execution of weathering, great job, i love it

Dr. Cranky Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 How could I have missed this thread. I love this build, and it reminds me of how much fun can be head with a little bit of salt and some acrylic paints.
Chuck Most Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 How could I have missed this thread. I love this build, and it reminds me of how much fun can be head with a little bit of salt and some acrylic paints. Reminds me of one of yours- rust, watch parts, and all.

Tom Setzer Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 If you want to learn about weathering, including the salt method, buy Doctor Cranky's Book! it makes it easy to learn!
Dr. Cranky Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 Thanks for the plug, Tom, and remember I also have a few how-to technique videos over at the YOUTUBE Lab-RAT-ory. Best, DC
