Mr.Zombie Posted March 31, 2012 Author Posted March 31, 2012 Steelies are form the '29 Ford Kit from Revell. All four, the one is just painted in a different way. The grille was shot black first, then painted brown with a brush, then, as long as the paint was still wet I just put some brown chalk powder over them, a bit real rust and whatnot. I repeated that procedure as long as I saw what I had in mind on my desk. Then I just took some clear and thinned it 20 to 80. And soaked the chalks with it using a brush. Just bareley touch the grille, and the mixture wanders over and soaks he chalk... Yea, Story might make sense, but I am still not sold on those headlights. I guess I'll rebuild them. Don't like "something" about it, but dunno what it actually is.
Mr.Zombie Posted March 31, 2012 Author Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Changed the headlights. Again. Now it took just 20 minutes or so, plus time to repair the damage I did while redoing it. This time I didn't glue the supports yet, firstly, It needs a horn under the right lamp, and second, now I can make any tweaks without damaging the rest of the car as I did today... It's getting there, notice how headlights make or brake a car like that? Unbelievable... Well, now it has the bastard look I was after. Strangeley, I put a roadster body on it with the old lights, and it looked great, coupe? No go. Edited March 31, 2012 by Mr.Zombie
