vwrabbit Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Nice work! Did you use the salt method for the rust? I'd like to try it, but afraid it won't turn out so well. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I like it, just saw it in Workbench Saturdays. Lol It reminds me so much of the ones I used to see in the '60s. Now they all seem to be all too perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobRus Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Very nice job with the rust, I am not a big fan of it but you really captured what I barn find looks like. The only critique I have is the wheels should have the same amount of dust on the lower part of the rim. That is unless you had to put new tires and wheels on it to move it out of the barn.... Oh that's right, this IS a model... Great job for your first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticfrog Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Great looking weathering Jason! For your first time,I'm very impressed. Where are the wheels from? The wheels came from the American Graffti diecast 55 chevy kit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
