56 Chevy wreck.

Hi guys, this is a model that has been in the loft for many years. Rubbish paintjob by hand and a bit brocken in places. Perfect for a test vehicle with the old rusty treatment. I will keep it short but basicly i rubbed it down with fine wet n dry and took off a lot of the paint to show undercoat. Then areas of rusty brown were painted on. Next i mixed up some talcum powder with some pigments and gave the rust areas a bit of surface texture. I weathered it with further washes and layers of grime with filter coats. Put it in its own little setting and this drab old loft liner became quite a nic e little addition to the model collection.[:D]

WOW!!! What a great use of an old kit. It came out fantastic, I love the way the hood cam out it looks just like the real deal. I am always remined that my models are just amatuer hour projects.[:D[

I’m always amazed at what you guys can do with plastic around here.

nice i had a raido receving enhancer just like the one on the model .love the rust.

Thats outstanding,spot on with the rust and faded paint.The coat hanger antenae is a perfect touch.

i love your plastic rust, very realistic

not really wrecked tho, more dilapidated or abandoned

Cheers guys. He went to his first show outing this weekend and picked up Gold plus one of Airton Senna,s helmets as a trophy. Too cool for words.

Wow, cool use of a closet queen, and nets a Gold first time out. Well done!

You have a Senna helmet? [:|] He was fantastic to watch race. A small part of me died with him, and F1 was never the same without him.

Can you hold it up to the screen so I can pretend to touch it? [:D]

Very nice…I’m a big fan of wrecks and junkers.
