Night Owl Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hi all just stepping away from aircraft models and onto another derelict abandoned car which I love to do. I picked up this cheap AMT kit for $12 as I would be bashing it. Starting with the interior I have a few photos showing various states of decay so I picked one and ran with it. I trialled using liquid mask to mimic hanging old rotten interior fabric. I waited until it was almost dry and then rolled with my finger then let it fully dry and paint it. I took a dremmel to the back of the seats until almost through then picked and cut at it from the front to make the seat tears and added cotton sprayed in a light straw color to replicate the old seat filling. Lastly a hint of green as a moldy, mossy look. Front seats Interior assembled Next its onto the exterior shell I did some test swatches for the rust tone I am pretty happy with. I noticed on most derelict vehicles its a very smoth dissemination between the old paint and the rusty surface. For tht reason I am going to forgo the chipping effect and lean of pure airbrush skills after some hand painting, washes and pigment powder should give the shell the desired look.

Redshift Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Very effective, can't wait to see the finished article. I find the old abandoned models more interesting than showroom shiny, dont know why. Are you going to do a diorama for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 That's a nice effect you created with the masking fluid. Will it stay like this, I mean doesn't it get brittle or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Those seats are certainly looking very good (or should I say the condition of them is certainly looking very bad ). You did say in your post about the rusting, namely that you've noticed that the rust tends to form a smooth transition at the edges. It's something I've noticed too in North America - most of the cars I've seen rusted there have that smooth transition almost as though it's just surface rust spreading over the body, and so that is perfect for this Ford. If you ever decide to do a car from Britain, for some reason (presumably wetter climate or more salt on the roads), our rust patches tend to have sharper edges more akin to that achieved by the chipping technique. I'll just do this one as a link, because it's quite a big picture and I'm not aware of a method to shink the file size with Google, but hopefully it will give an idea of what I mean: https://photos.app.goo.gl/8kDTQQjdUEaUNRF59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Owl Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Last few evenings were two four hour airbrushing sessions. All paints used on car body. Next will be touching up weathering, wheels, trim and details like lights and chrome details. A final coat of AK Utra Matt to seal the paint. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Hya. This is great. Really nice aged look you have going on there. For some reason I can’t add any likes but I do indeed like this quite a lot. I’ll tag along if that’s ok. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
