Foxy1972 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 OK so I'm finished with the chassis, I tried to replicate oil build up rust corrosion..so this allowed me to start some assembly.. Looking at it now I'm not sure if I've over done the weathering a tad.. But with way I'll take something from this.. So I'm on to the interior now and scratching my head, so if anyone has any hints tips or methods for weathering an interior I'd appreciate some guidance... I'm look for used but definitely serviceable it will be a running car.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Looking good, although I have to confess, I wouldn't like to take it for an MOT!!! Re the interior would some paper be good to recreate tears in the vinyl or cover in something to represent a blanket covering ripped sears for example. Great work Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy1972 Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 Not really an update I'm just looking for some thoughts opinions advice now.. I started to paint the body work today and got to this point with further intentions of painting the rest in vw beetle blue with chipping of course... However the wife chipped in and said that I should leave as is... And now I'm unsure of myself! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.e.charles Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 you do realize "leave as is" is wife-speak for "i have a project for you to do"". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy1972 Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 Just a quick update.. Finally finished the chassis and now have most of the interior fitted.. I tried to replicate worn and torn seats with tissue paper and sponge it hasn't turned out quite how I had hoped though.. Just waiting on some washes now to add some dirt and grime to the interior and seats... So i guess my next post will be of the finished model 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy1972 Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 Well I've finally finished.. I have to say I'm quite happy with the result for my first attempt at both weathering and building a car... I've learnt a lot of do's and do not's what will work and what won't... So maybe I'll have another attempt at some point in the future... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Looks great the painted door, bonnet and decklid look fantastic and the seat covers look awesome. Fantastic job and I have seen worse in the scene . A lot of the Rat look cars had immaculate underpinnings and a nice shiny wheels and left the bodywork but also seen some where the wheels were left as is too, so a grand job.
