Yep that's how you do tires. For sunken vehicles cutting works best, Like I did with my JT.

Dicky, I'm glad I've flattened them, I think it's a better match to the car's old, rusty appearance.
Boots my friend, these are very kind words and I appreciate it a lot !
Gert, one day I'll finally make it to the modelling club. And I'll bring the beer ! Palm I believe ?
T, thank you mate, I still have to find a solution to realistically glue on the hay fibres...I don't want to mess up now with the finish in sight !
ICP029, thanks, I'm pleased you like it !

57belair, tx ! Today the straw was added. After a good dusting this is the result. I hope you like it...      I still have to do some minor touch ups tomorrow but I think the finish is near. Best regards ! Guy. |

Looks good G, especially when it's with the bales of hay.

Stunning result, Guy.  The hay adds a lot to the realism of the thing. I can see hens and goats grazing by... |

Next update the finished bales will be added to the background so it will make more sense.
Now the Admiral looks like he just ran into a hay stack and came out on the other side.
Best regards and thanks for all the kind reactions !

I think it looks a bit better in this way. On the first version it was a bit too much on the hood...

That is a absolutely stunning Guy. The only thing that draws my attention is the condition of the convertible top looks too good compared to the rest of the car. Apart from that it is flawless.Hope you take that as constructive critz

Luigi, thanks ! I'm glad it's finished mate ! I don't worry about the gongs, the fun is back and I'm satisfied with the result.
ER, thanks my friend !
Thanks Matt, the straw looked too composed on the hood and less is more they say so I reworked a bit.
Nate, thanks mate !
Dicky, I can do wrong my friend, be sure of that. This project however was my first after three months of break and all went quite well. The fun's back, even more than in the early days !
Andy, good observation mate ! I could have made a couple of holes in the rooftop cover as I sculpted the thing. I gave it an old, dusty, greasy look to save it. Thank you !
T, thanks fella ! The sun ? That yellow thing in the sky, now I remember LOL !
