Rustalicious '55 Chevy Truck

[406 Silverado]

The second attempt looks better Nate. Not too overdone and evenly spotted. Now you ahead as T has mentioned. The upcoming weathering will give more depth and dimension to it. It's all about the layers.

Thanks guys, appreciate the support:)

Ok, quick update. I hit the rust patches with W&N Burnt Sienna oil and then stippled it like JohnT explained in his Tractor blog. . I also did some streaking with winsor and newton white on the rear side panels cuz I thought they were too dark. I like the results.





Still more layers to come:) It’s getting close to being done. Let me know what you think.

Hello all. I’m gonna call this one done. I did some Rust streaking ( the AK rust streaking effects are amazing!)and finished the windows and glued everything together.

















One question though, what do you guys use to create less “new” gleam on your window glass? I’d like a dustier, filmier look to the front windshield. Any suggestions? P.S. the glue fog on the other windows is intentional☺

This was great fun all around and I’m pretty pleased with the outcome considering it’s my first attempt at rusting. I’m sure there is more I could do, but this build has gone on long enough and I’m looking forward to other things. I’ll definitely be doing more rusty stuff in the future. Let me know what you think☺ Cheers.

Awesome Nate. how did you do the shattered Glass?

Thanks Spud. The Front window is just careful scribing with a hobby knife and the rear and side are just cut to the desired shaped, coated with glue, and sprinkled with a glitter like material called "icy sparkles" made by deluxe materials. Works really well and it's easy. I saw it on Ken Abrams' GAZ AAA that won at AMPS. He's supposed to have an article describing it in one of the mags in June or July:).

Some fantastic rusting Nate. The effects all look great bro. yep the AK rust streaking comes in very handy. The only thing I could suggest is to add some Slimy Grime in a few areas, just to break up all the rust tones and add a bit of contrast. Other than that I think it looks perfect.
Well done of one rusty 55.

Thanks guys. Your support and comments mean a lot. I hear ya on the slimy grime/contrast issue, Rob. I'm gonna have to pick that up (or make some with oils:).
