It's always a good sign if you like it Rob, thanks mate ! Thanks Dicky, this project motivates me to do better and most of all to have fun every second I'm working on it. Wouter, thanks bro, that part is still there, the Hulk part is gone for ever LOL. Andy, thanks mate, and...you rock too ! Bigjohn,thanks for the smileys X 3 !  multicam, you're always welcome to jump in here mate ! madairbrush, thank you, I look forward to the finished model too so I can start my Zündapp with side car project that will also figure in the diorama. Only a bit of progress, the start of the Admiral's hood. I go for a heavily rusted one !  Best regards, Guy. |

Thanks for the motivating comments gents ! The Admiral is slowly taking form now... Still a lot of hood dusting/rusting to do but it's a start. I went for a firm rusting with dark tones, the fallen hay (added later) will stand out on it more.   Best regards ! G. |

Thanks friends, I think this one will be finished by the end of the week, so I can open another kit soon, or start building the old barn.

Absolutely stunning! I know I'm saying the same things all the others say. But, well, if we all say the same, it must be true, isn't it? |

Wow so much positive responses !!! I'm so glad you like this project gents, I've learned a lot from you all by the way since I've signed in on MSCF !!! About the crown of the Rust Emperor, there's only one and it's made for Rob. Almost there I think...   Now it's time to finish this bucket ! Omg...time to pick up my youngest kid from school, cya friends ! |

That has to be the BEST rusty car, vehicle I have ever seen. Those wheels really make it. Looks like something we see up here in New England. Fantastic work G.

Thanks Rob, those words give me a true boost !!! The wheels were BIG fun to do and so incredibly easy !
Luigi, madairbrush, to give the tires the flat look, you need a hot kitchen stove and a piece of baking paper. Heat a pit and and then cover with the baking paper, push the plastic tire gently until plastic starts to melt a bit. Then check and repeat until you're satisfied with the look. You can cut away plastic and sand further into shape.
Defpanzer, thanks fella !!!
