TonyW Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 You could do a whole lot worse than Frenching up a tribute to Jim Jacobs (of Pete n' Jake fame) Pick up or Panel Van... Tony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeroenS Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 The hot rods look very cool but my choice would be the panel van! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottopv Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 First update from me a late start due to taking grandson away for a week but got a couple of hours in this weekend start on the back of the van and painting the inside before gluing together started on the engine and a little mock uphaven’t decided on colours yet but I’m going to try for barn find condition mainly because I haven’t mastered painting yet we’ll see how it goes 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottopv Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 As I’ve dropped to page 6of the build threads it must be time for an update so here it is the rust on green panels was using hairspray technique 1st time attempt not very happy with the green paint I mixed but it will do and the mudguards just salt technique Quick mock up Still a lot to do but it’s coming along 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeroenS Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 This looks awesome Otto, proper barn find! What did you do with the roof to get that effect? Is that some kind of paper? Really nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Some great techniques there - very convincing. The way it looks mirrors the way I feel this morning! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottopv Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 @JeroenS the roof looked like it should be material so I covered it with masking tape then covered with pva water mix followed by a cream paint then black paint while still wet ,there’s some pieces hanging down inside and a few depressions in the top ,I drilled the plastic in a few places first I’ll put some pics up of the roof when finished @Jinxman sorry you feel that rough thankyou both for the comments 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Very convincing ageing techniques used there. It really does look like a barn find, rather than rusted into a field. Nice work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
