49 merc front crashed and rolled junk

[jerseyjunker1]

good morning guys and gals.i am in a very good mood today. why you ask? i don't know.

anyways here is a 49 merk junker that i did as an old crashed & rolled project or parts donor car.it started out as a danbury mint diecast 24th scale merc coupe.i remade some of the body parts from heavy aluminum in order to get the twisted metal effect. then aged and rusted it. well back to work. hope you like it.

I like the way you put these models through the ringer. This one looks like it fell of the back of a truck . . . and your weathering is excellent.

thanks Crank. i could not ask for better praise than when it comes from the master.

Love the rusting and weathering. Nice work.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Poor little car. Probably not restorable. Great job.

[Chuck Most]

Hmmmm... wonder if he was running shine, fleeing the constabulary when the car ended up like that.

Something to be admired for sure . All the right stuff ! I agree with the Master Cranky . Thanx ..

Mannie! I've seen this car.....Really! I think that it was on some old 8mm film they showed us when I learned how to drive. So now I know what happened to it. I can sleep now.

As usual....Great job!

I like the way you mixed media to create the desired effects.

The weathering is very convincing and the metal really does look realistically contorted.

Now I know what I'm going to do if I screw up a build...wreck it!!!
