JollySipper Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I'm hoping to make this my next project. Would I start with a red and try to fade it? This will be my first shot at any major weathering, so any and all advise is greatly appreciated....
MAGNUM4342 Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Hah! At first glance I thought it was Fred Sanford's truck! I'll let Doc and the weathered experts take a crack at this one, but i'm going to watch. I've got a Beverly Hillbillies truck that could use some work.
JollySipper Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 Sanford's truck.... thats pretty good! Actually this is Cherry Bomb's work truck... Guys, I'll be using a resin cab and plastic bed if that makes a difference......
JollySipper Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 More than likely I will be using one of those small aerosol cans with the jar attachment on the bottom, that way I can spray acrylic without having an airbrush..... unless the technique would be achieved better with spray cans?
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) I hope you get answers from some of the builders on this forum who are patina masters. Dr. Cranky and bryan_m come to mind. Edited October 1, 2012 by Ace-Garageguy
VW Dave Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Random wetsanding and DullCote are a good way to go.....and probably not far off from how the real truck was done
JollySipper Posted January 6, 2013 Author Posted January 6, 2013 How does this look to you guys? Does it look weathered to you? I've been trying different meathods on fading, I think I may be on to something........ just wanting an opinion
