Baugher Garage Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Just finished this one - well, as finished as it's going to get for now... there's still more weathering that could be done under the hood, and a couple of chrome doohickies to install on the fenders. But it's the weekend and the weather's supposed to be great, so I doubt I touch it for a while... Hope you like it and thanks for looking! * you can see a lot of the in-progress in the Workbench section under 1960 Ford Starliner Field Find.

cobraman Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Thats a terrible thing to do to a Starliner. : ( Looks good, very realistic looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realgone58 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Incredible weathering! Very realistic! What method did you use to achieve the ultra realistic finish on the body? A buddy of mine had a '60 Edsel h/t that was in that exact same condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baugher Garage Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Incredible weathering! Very realistic! What method did you use to achieve the ultra realistic finish on the body? A buddy of mine had a '60 Edsel h/t that was in that exact same condition. Thank you Alan! I saw a tutorial someone posted on the "salt technique" and tried it. My method was a coat of red oxide primer. When that dried, sprayed it with water and sprinkled salt all over the wet surface, lightly in some areas and in clumps in others. Then sprayed it again with a light coat of darker brown primer, and white, almost in a camo style, but feathered edges. Once that was about dry (not quite), I took a toothbrush to it and started brushing off the salt and top coat. Hand rubbed that. Then used some acrylic washes in blues, greens and browns, watered down and with a paint brush. Some chalk pastels in rust colors here and there... in a couple of places I heated the body and pressed a jagged rock into it when still soft to create some dents. I really enjoy the process of weathering a car. I figure man made the car - God made the weathering! I'm trying to recreate what nature has done.

Guest Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Very nice! My only complaint is the plug wires are a bit too large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62rebel Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 go back and hit those "Starliner" logos with gold; they're anodized and not chrome... if you REALLY want it to depict a worst-case-scenario, grind away the backside of the ribbed rear quarter trim and let it "fold out" from the fender, like MY car's did.... my first "old" car when i was 21....
