56 belair race car

[wreckless666]

im building this for a diorama i started last night. i originally pulled out the body to try some new rust techniques and i ended up liking the way it turned out so i figured what the hell why not put it to use. its gonna be a half built race car with a roll cage and stripped interior. there will be no motor in this. i want it to look as if somebody bought it and started making a race car out of it then gave up and let it sit in the yard to rot away. i painted my own rust then went back and washed it with some pastels. its my first time using pastels.

Body rust looks good keep us posted...................

got a bit more done on the car but ive been more focused on the dio.

i built the roll cage and threw some random car parts inside.

dirtied the engine bay

i also found a half built motor in the parts box that i dirtied up and out in it.

i think the motor is still to shiny and i still have to add some dirt and grim to the wheels

let me know what you guys think so far and also check out how the dio is coming along

I am definitely liking the rust. Keep it going.

Very well done! It looks like some of the relics that are sittin' around here in my hood from the days of dirt track racin' at Memphis Motorsports Park! Keep up the great work!

i have this posted in the diorama section but maybe posting here as well, will get it a bit more coverage.

this is the first real diorama i built. i tried my best to make it realistic.

enjoy

I like it nice weathering on the car and and everything else I think the fence could use a little more age though.

Wonderful details. You are building quite a scene there. Very nice. Love it.
