Talbot90 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Sorry there's no earlier WIP pics of this build as my camera decided to take a dump.!! Heres a 29A Rat pickup that was inspired by a cartoon pic I saw on the net, some random images and a lot of input from my imagination. I'll document the build from here on, but here's where I'm up to so far. I chopped the cab, with the frame, front and rear Suspension and the exhaust all scratch-built. The things you only see in photographs,.. I see I've messed up the carb linkages..arrgghh!! thanks for looking Ian Edited May 12, 2013 by Talbot90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talbot90 Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Ive been asked how I do some of my weathering... here's the process for the brake drums that can be applied to any item you would like to appear rusty. This is just a process that works for me. Im not saying its the right way..but the most important thing is just try, experiment and most of all, have fun! :-) Paint the item Flat Brown..I use Tamiya Xf-10 Flat Browm Then I use a darker Brown, Tamiya XF-64 Red brown. i apply to the brush and then wipe off 95 % on a rag until the brush is virtually dry. then mix up a weathering powder mixed with Tamiya acrylic thinners then I add dry weathering powder and some darker pastel scrapings.. its pretty easy..just take your time ..and if you dont like it..strip it off and start again..( Ive done many times) !! :-) cheers Thanks for looking Drop me a message if you've got any questions..

Well heres is the 34 in all its rusted glory. cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
