Thank you friends, I wish I had an update, all I have at this moment is a flu. Hope to feel better soon so I can continue my Dodge.
I also have to catch up reading your topics.
Best regards ! Guy.

Thanks Rob, I've done a little dusting on the hood meanwhile.
Now I've got to decide if I will present the motor compartiment closed or opened. I can also leave the motor compartiment entirely visible by placing the hood in the trunk ? What do you guys suggest ?
Best regards ! Guy.

I've tried some test settings and it works for me, the hood next to the vehicle is a good composition !
Today I go for the trunk and wheels.
Stay tuned !
Best regards ! Guy.

Thanks friends, the result on the hood pleases me, I'm glad I won't have to go for a second attempt you know... The wheels now, I thought they were done but I will try to add more color to them.  Best regards ! G. |

G, wheels are looking good so far bro. They will liven up once the rubber is painted.

Rims are looking really good. Will you be wearing the treads down a bit?

Thanks again buddies !!! After painting the tires in tar black the wheels showed their differences much more. I'm quite happy with the result because there's a softly rusted wheel, a crusty rusty wheel, one with a bit more green paint on it, a grimy one... Here's a pic showing the situation so far, more black is coming up :  The fun goes on now, making them rubber suckers old and worn !  I'm looking forward to your opinions... Btw. today I've noticed I'm battling this project for over 4 months and it isn't done yet... Best regards ! Guy. |

Those tyres are exactly how I thought they would look. Yep, the fun now begins.
As for being fur months G.....you've actually painted TWO models ....LOL LOL,,,,,,,,It doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as you enjoy it. Trust me, it is well worth it G. I see some gongs at the next shows with this baby.

;D ;D ;D T, in fact it was just a bit of pigment powder storming LOL. :PYou're right Rob, this is a two in one model, I enjoy every minute of it but man time flies !!! Tires only needed a bit of pigments.   I'll see if I can do more on them... Opinions, tips...very much appreciated ! Best regards ! |
