Well, almost new. It's been so long since I posted here that I can consider myself a new member 
Trying to be serious, as much as I can, I've been pulled away both from the forum and from modelling by several real life stuff. Just for a start, I'm currently restructuring home.
In the meantime the urge to build something became too strong to resist so, as those of you who know me on facebook, I've shelved all the ongoing builds and started a new one.
The vict.. subject is a reissue of an old pickup kit from Arii, the Honda T360. It's a small thingie but it gives me a lot of chances of pushing my limits in weathering.
This is how the box looks like:
And this is how I started it:
And no, that's not a giant penny and the kit is 1/32. I told you it's a smaaaaaalll truck.
After watching it coming together I decided to turn it into a builder's truck.
So I added stuff on the back, trying to give it the overloaded look.
Being a bit rusty (me) I made a newbie mistake, and forgot to glue the bonnet (or hood if you prefer) before priming it, so I had to strip it to fix it.
Having this one settled, I primed it again, and gave it a fuul coat of XF-10 to have a base tone for the rusty parte.
After this I rescribed the hood seam, to make it more regular.
In the meantime I also focused on the load.
I started from the barrel. It's a RB item, from their easy line and I must say it looks gorgeous. After removing it from the sprue, I washed it with liquid soap and water, rinsed, primed and gave it a full coat of XF-10.
I let the paint set and then I gave it two coats of hairspray followed by a couple of layers of bright yellow. I let it dry overnight and then I removed some of the yellow paint with water and brushes of different sizes, shapes and hardness.
I then went on weathering it with different rust tones, and some grease paint around the cap.
This is the result on the barrel so far, it will receive some dust together with the rest of the stuff to make it look more omogeneous.
I moved on to the toilet.
I wanted to depict an old, worn and rusty toilet, dirty and neglected.
This one is again RB stuff, and it's truly nice and evocative. After washing it, I primed it and gave it a couple of white layers, trying to let the grey primer show a little, to give it a worn look. Then I tried to make it look as if rusty water had filled it for a lot of time, dripping slowly from the tubes.
Rust was achieved by layering several tones of both acrylic and oil rust paint.
Hope you guys like it.
As always ACW.
I will try to get back to you as soon as possible (if life lets me)
