kingiguana Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) And yet another one done up rusty and crusty for my friend Jeff who will use this for slot car drag racing. AMT's 51 Chevy, done in pale yellow with a white top. With weathering powders, and the salt and rubber cement technique. I did the interior up too, although it may not be used, or at least all of it. Its a bummer that all that baremetal got dullcoated over. The chassis its on is only for photos. Edited March 19, 2014 by kingiguana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterNNL Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Nice subject for the slot drags instead of mostly funny cars and gassers.I like the choice of body color as well.It contrasts nicely with the rusty weathering effects.Thanks for sharing with everyone.Great job!

JTalmage Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Looks like the 1951 Chevy that Steve McQueen drove in his last movie "The Hunter" from 1980 minus the white top instead of black. Had he left the car sit in the backyard it might have looked like this. Looks great though! for those curious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Cool ole Chevy! You'll have to post a video of it beating out a funny car at the drag races! And the 1:1 McQueen car... last I knew Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars owned it. I had a mental note to build one just like it! I love the yellow on it.

kingiguana Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Thanks for all the compliments guys. Jeff wanted a white top. I thought of The Hunter when I was making this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72 Charger Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Whats the rubber cement tehcnique ? cool chevy BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingiguana Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Well I paint a body with a red oxide (rust colored primer or paint ) first. Then I will put patches of random rubber cement. I will also use the salt technique. I will then add the top color. Once the paint is dry I scrub and or peel the rubber cement off. Ive also at times taken some duct tape and burnish it down at random points, and peel it off, thus removing paint. Just have to be careful not to stress the plastic and break it. If too much paint comes off, You can always brush touch an area. Or even mask off and spray a random primer or color. Whats the rubber cement tehcnique ? cool chevy BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
