  5. If he would share his secret for getting plastic to rust, maybe we could get some of these modern cars off the road sooner.

    I have to admit, I usually don't look at the Model car posts,... so it's most likely that I missed it,... sorry if this was poster before.

    Amazing--he's got the rust down pat! I've seen quite a few old race cars,and it seems that he's worked from originals or pictures,cause it's right on.

    You mix some metal filings into the paint and expose it to moisture.
    That's the way a lot of people "rat" fiberglass bodies.Others drill a few holes to add further credence to it.
    I use to dream of finding a Willys coupe in a salvage yard.Now I do and I won't fit:rolleyes:.

    So the deployed airbags must be condoms? :eek:
     
  18. As a former serious model builder,I can appreciate the level of detail he's gone into. A bit gruesome in the first project,though. The rust is probably some good airbrushing,and (especially on the cop car and Camaro) very realistic. Any modeler will tell you that one of the most difficult aspects is "scale realism";easier said than done.

    The rust was likely done with Rust-All, which has been around at least 15 years or more.

    That must require a level of patience that I'll never have. I can't imagine how much time it would take to create even one of those let alone the body of work he has built. AMAZING!!!

    A lot of time and talent in them....

    but one thing that always bugs the shit out of me, is people who go through all that hard work, but don't take 30 seconds to remove casting lines before they even start.

    Excellent intro tune too. Pigs (Three Different Ones) is one of my favorite Pink Floyd tunes. Too bad he didn't use the whole song.
