Agent G Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Here's my completed 32, or so I thought! Looking at the pics I realized I forgot the door handles. Anyway here she is. Comments, critique, and threats are all welcome. G
Harry P. Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 I'm not sure how to describe that paint finish... "distressed?"... but I like it! Looks cool!
highway Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Beautiful job, I love the patina look!!! Of course, you asked for critiques and threats as well as comments. The one thing I find wrong with it is it's NOT MINE!! As for my threat, I threaten you to do a tutorial on how you did the patina paint job! I would LOVE to learn how you did it!
highway Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Oh, I almost forgot, a rat rod doesn't need door handles, they fell off years ago!!
Foxer Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 That distressed finish even holds up in the closeups! You should have washed the body during it's lifetime as well as the undercarriage!
Play4Keeps Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 no need for door handle when you have poppers the finish is absolutely amazing
Jairus Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) My only critique is don't shoot pictures so close. You have definitely set your cam on Macro but because you are so close the depth of focus is too shallow. If you move back further and take high resolution pics you can zoom in and crop later. Most cameras have a cropping feature if you don't have software for that. As for the car I LOVE IT! Just the right amount of wear, weathering and dry brushing. Maybe a bit of flat clear shot on the body would help smooth out the mix of gloss and flat weathering paint... but that is just a random thought. I like it a lot. Edited June 21, 2010 by Jairus
Agent G Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 Thank you all for the comments. Jarius I will post revised photos later today. You might just see some of the car then. I am posting a three part tutorial on the techniques used for the weld beads, paint, and the seat blanket. These seem to be the three most asked questions about the build. I appreciate the opportunity to share, no secrets here G
Agent G Posted June 22, 2010 Author Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) Ok I broke out the tripod, a white pillow case (don't tell Mrs G) and took some more photos. Anyone who spent any time as a grunt in the military will understand the license plate number. Everybody else, well I'll you tell off line.... G Edited June 22, 2010 by AgentG
