Robbo, paul, thank you, still a lot to do on the driver's compartiment but it's going well I think. The seats were given several semi transparent layers of acrylics, then these were washed with dirty transparent oil paint mixtures to finish them. This is the effect I was looking for : Only for reference purposes !!!  Soon pics ! Best regards ! |

very nice work Guy, as usual. Hard to say original things about your work really, it's always top notch ;D
btw: really love the last photo: nice fully in focus. Something which I find hard to obtain...which camera do you use?
Cheers

ChrisS, thank you mate, I'm more satisfied with this second attempt. I won't give it a third shot ! Enough is enough LOL ! The dec solution was quite drastic, a reference pic made me do it. It's a wreck after all... Chriss67, thank you ! I still have to touch up things here and there after final assembly of the elements. The seats are completed now, they look damaged (tomorrow photos, had to go working). Wouter, I have a very cheap camera, costed me only 80 euro, it works good (Samsung ES10). Thanks man ! DickyF, yes, my style too, a man's got to decide and act ! Johnt, thank you, it was fun to go for the canva dirty seats, oil washes did the job. Rob, glad I did it, didn"t want to wait and order decals. I just want to paint rust and destruction ! Tomorrow I will try the pigment trick to create real rusty and crusty paint layers on the mud guards ! bigjohn, I'm having the modelling time of my life on this one ! To me it's a learning process, I can't wait to start my second rust bucket (Bigshot 6X6 Dodge, in faded greens, US Army). Nick, thank you, you're most welcome ! I must say I'm flattered ! By the way fellas, the driver's compartiment was glued on the chassis so I won't terrorize you any longer   Update follows shortly ! Merry Christmas to you all ! Best regards ! G. |

quite jalous about the shots your camera makes mate. The one I use is a Sony Cybershot from my girlfriend (a pink one ;D) but I can't get fully in focus shots in macro setting...bummer...
waitin' for the update, and minwhile: Merry Christmas back at ya ^^
Cheers

Sometimes I just HATE micro shots Wouter !!! Makes me think what a crappy modeler I am... Still so much to do...it's going so sloooooooooowly, the family keeps me busy these days ! Anyway, here's the photo of the cabine attached to the chassis, with the completed seats.  yes, made of sanitary napkin ! Best regards ! G. |

Saaa-weet!! Nice job so far G!  I think if you stare at something too close for too long you get a bit bug-eyed and critical of your own work my friend!! I know....because I do this!! ;D Slow is no problem...ever! 2 things to remember.... There is no running in Golf, there is no rushing in modeling!!!  Looking top dog there sir! Keep up great work! |

T, that makes sense. Bug eyed...know what you mean, it can take away all the fun of modelling.
ChrisS, I had to find a translation for it, I know it sounds silly, "sanitary napkin"...
bigjohn, thanks man, you can't imagine how crappy I feel about my work sometimes !
robbo, glad you like it until now, this wont be my last rust bucket.

Hey G, didn't get to comment yesterday, had a bit of a PC prob.
Seeing the components together really makes a diff. The different types and shades of rust and chipped paint looks fantastic.

Robmeister, thank you, I want to apply different rust methods to achieve a whole range of effects as seen on wrecks. spud, thank you ! Small update ! I've followed Rob's instructions on creating chipped paint and blotchy rust effects, I'm very satisfied with the result and in fact it wasn't that hard to do... I've done the mud guards and this is the result (don't mention the head lights, not yet taken care of) :   Best regards ! G. |

Thank you guys, your comments are most appreciated ! The method was new to me but it felt easy to do. Important is not to make the pigment layer wet while spraying on the acrylic paint, it's better to go for more fine mists on low air pressure and not disturb the powders. Before I started to rubb and pick away the yellow paint I've applied a thin dirty oil paint wash to create more interesting tones. It's great to see the "rusty" spots appear in a natural way.
Tomorrow I want to glue on the mud guards on the main component.
Best regards ! G.

this is jawdropping indeed Guy, it just keeps getting better and better. Those mudguards look superb mate. I'm jalous, this is truly a masterpiece in the make (and I really mean that!). Keep it up mate, keep the candy comin' ^^
