Dr. Cranky Posted May 24, 2012 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted June 16, 2012 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
