soonerolds Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Sorry about the signature thing, Jairus. Didn't know. Here's the first automotive diorama i did. Hope i got it right this time.
framescr8pintoy Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 looks good. do you have any more pictures of it from different angles?
soonerolds Posted February 3, 2007 Author Posted February 3, 2007 Thx. Here are a couple more pics. This one won the S.W. Challenge in Dallas around 1989. Only reason it won was that the judges moved a woody on a beach from Diorama to another class. That was built, of course, by one Jairus Watson.
modelfritz Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Fantastic dio. How on earth did you get the realistic rust look. I love it. Makes you want to start work on a great ol' project car!
Barbo Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Hi......I am going to catch up the ride with this message from modelfritz to ''Soonerolds'' I never got to see the photos that you indicate in your message of Feb.3,2007. Something is missing , check it out and send your message again.................Barbo.
MadKawDisease Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Your dio looks great !! I'd like to see it from more angles also.
soonerolds Posted February 27, 2007 Author Posted February 27, 2007 Here are a couple more pics. (i hope) the rust was done by painting the car with Kryloon red oxide primer. After it dired, i sprinkled on baking soda. Then paint with the flat black. After that dires i rub the model with an old tooth brush and the black comes off where the baking soda was. There is normally a guy welding on top of the car, but he's in a differrent dio right now.
soonerolds Posted February 27, 2007 Author Posted February 27, 2007 Terrible spelling. Sorry. Typing on my laptop in the dark. The Lincoln welder is scratchbuilt using a 4 cylinder continental engine from a Willys jeep. Seat was scratchbuilt. Upholstery is material from an old t-shirt.
modelfritz Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 wow! thanks for sharing the "rust-look-tip" . You've got my brain working ovewrtime now. The 36 chev in my present dio on the go needs lotsa fading and rust on the roof and front fenders. I can't wait. Must try it on some scrap and play with different results. This realistic stuff is quite addicting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Manfred a.k.a. Modelfritz
MadKawDisease Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 The rust looks great ! One of these days I'm going to try your rust method.
