1/18 barn finds

[f1ford48]

lately ive been building abandoned,junker and barn finds in diecast. I use a real iron paint and then a mild acid wash so the rust finish you see is real rust- it works on plastic as well.

Great work on the weathering! The flat tires and cobwebs are nice touches - really add to the realism! Nice!

Loved the Jag. Would like to know how you did the cobwebs. They are very convincing and realistic looking. I've done 1 1/25 scale junker in a diorama I built and have started on another that would benefit from some well placed cobwebs. Would love to know how you pulled it off.

Thanks, Paul

Hi Paul- and thanks...the cobwebs are the real deal- I let these sit out behind the house a few years and they decorated themselves!!! part of my process is natural ageing by the elements-sounds crazy but it works for me.

[uncle potts]

That explains why they looked so real. I however, am not so brave as to leave my stuff outside.
