'57 Chevy 150

Hey guys n gals! It's been awhile since I have posted on here, but I'm super proud of how this one turned out. It's a Revell Black Widow kit built as a street car (with a rollcage). Made it look like a used 'survivor'. I think the pitted chrome turned out extremely well. Thanks for looking and enjoy!

Looks cool! The pics are a little hard to see, how did you do the 'pitted chrome'?

great looking survivor

Weathering looks good on it.

new wheels and tires tho?

Thanks guys!! Pics are from my cell phone (which is better than some digitals), the flash made them a bit weird. The wheels are box stock; still debating on whether or not to put the dogdishes on (at least a couple of 'em), and I guess they need to be weathered more. The pitted chrome was done by lightly spraying some gray paint over the parts.

Very nice work on that, just the right amount of "slightly used, but not overly abused."

The originals were weather- checked, rotted and flat when it was found in the barn, so he had to drive into town to buy 4 used tires. I love the weathering on this beast.

Nice job! Using the grey on the chrome bumpers was a good idea, it came out great.
