Dr. Cranky Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 It's looking rusty, cruddy, and gunky, just the way we likes it. You are going to put some weathering on the inside of those tires, right? A little powder. Yes.
bryan_m Posted May 24, 2012 Author Posted May 24, 2012 oh yea, just a bit buddy. i had to make a drivehsaft, painting it now. then final weathering, and shes done! first build i finished in almost 2 years! bryan

Ace-Garageguy Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Looks like it's banana bread time. Seroiusly, this thing looks so cool, so real that I'm finally inspired to try doing a weathered bulid myself. That's what I love about this hobby most.....always something new to learn and to experiment with without blowing up the house.
bryan_m Posted June 16, 2012 Author Posted June 16, 2012 thanks bill! any questions feel free to ask. cheers bryan
