Dexter7713 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) First build in over 15 years first semi detailed model ever and first ever weathering job. Hope you guys like it and offer advise for my next one. I'm doing a ratted out chop top dodge l-700 cab over. before the headliner got weathered.

Dexter7713 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Nice job. I really like the head liner. Thanks a lot. It was one of the details I tried and really liked the outcome but know I could get it better next time then realized you can hardly see it with the windows weathered. LoL oh well it was a blast.

Dexter7713 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Looks great bud. Very nice. came out great ! Thanks guy I am inspired to build another that will be even better then this one and the next one will be better and so on and so forth. It being my first in so long and my very first ever detailed and weathered model I know there are things that experienced builders may look at and wonder what the heck I was thinking but if I use one new trick on every build then I can't wait to see my tenth build after this. Thanks again for the kind words and inspiration to keep going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disabled modeler Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I like it TJ...pretty cool looking. I have done just one too...my 64 Chevy pickup in my photobucket here under my profile it was my first attempt too. It was warped badly and thought this way it would have a use..it was fun.

Erik Smith Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Cool. Weathering is fun and relaxing - make a mistake? Ah, just cover it up! Cool headliner - you can try a glue soaked tissue too - the tissue can be torn and sagging and looks like scale fabric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatMan Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Put some rat poop on the engine and it would be like a couple of real life barn finds I've seen up close. Fantastic work!! Edited February 23, 2014 by MeatMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Very nice, but foil before weathering would have made it just a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter7713 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Looks great Tj, very nice weathering, what did you use for the headliner? Thanks. Medical tape. LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter7713 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Wow I can't thank all you guys enough for the compliments. I know there is much to be learned still. As far as foiling before weathering I've never used foil before and this original just started out as an idea until I found this forum and kind of became a passion. I work on a very limited budget and just can't afford a lot of the things that would have made this a better build but I figure the next one will turn out a little better and the one after that and the one after that. LoL but it's all the amazing builders on this forum that really got me all jazzed up about building models again so thanks you for the kind words and inspiring me to try building better models. I was that kid that threw models together in one night and thought they were great. Of course that's why I haven't built a model in 15-20 years. Thanks again for everything.
