You Kids Get Off That Merc!

[noname]

Just having some fun.

Thanks for looking.

Matt, super cool. Never get tired of seeing different takes on this kit. Excellent mapping and chipping on this weathering job. Congrats.

It looks like the kids have been busy for a while with that pile of dirt. Nice job with the weathering!

KEWL!!!

[Chillyb1]

Looks like fun, indeed. I love this build.

[randx0]

What a fresh take on the venerable merc.

[Lovefordgalaxie]

You kids are going to get tetanus!!!!

I wasn't sure if there was a pile of dirt or dung on the roof, but it's a pretty cool build.

[noname]

Thanks for the nice comments guys. No it isn't dung. Dried, used coffee to be exact.

[John Goschke]

Very clever and superbly executed!

[Intmd8r]

Props for the original idea.

[W-Machine]

Cool looking beater, I like the weathering.

[Joker]

Love the rockers..

It screams for a country driveway base.

[Lunajammer]

Extra points for exploring the creative, but the (distracting) dirt pile does nothing for me. The car however... may be one of the most believable weathered vehicles I've ever seen here. Really exquisite.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. That guy ain't right.

Great build! I really like it.

Nice job, Matt.

You never know what kids will play in. Dried, used coffee? Did you just pile it on the roof or is it glued on like ballast on a train track?

[noname]

No I used watered down white glue and some acrylic medium.

Joker, I thought a base would be good for this. Maybe when I have the time I'll do that. It would look better that way sitting on a shelf or desk in this case I think.

Lunajammer, thanks, but I get bored of the usual. I think it is a little more interesting this way. I've seen lots of beater cars. But I've never seen a pile of dirt on one.

Thanks again folks.

Very original.

[Bugace]

Lovely! I almost see a rascal skidding down the rearwindow.

[noname]

Thanks guys.

Yep, I agree, I like this car a bunch. Looks like real rust and very good work on the lower body. The overall look is great. Great job fer sure. Dan
