Distress the heater hoses. radiator hose and battery cable and you got it. I like the blower cutout in the hood. Nice job, very creative.

Incredible. One of my favourite model & year combinations. Would love to see an A12 version peeking out of a miniature barn.

Where can you get models like this? With detail like that

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

You dont. You build them or pay big bucks for a custome build. There are guys that do it.

I never could figure out how to do rust on these models, impressive.

8 years ago | Likes 19 Dislikes 0

there are paints called "Rust", there's even "light/medium/dark rust", plus tamiya pigments, plus rust texture paints.

I haven't built a model in at least 12 years. May have to teach my son. Found it's the kind of thing that when you start time can run away

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yes exactly. Ive tried to get my daughter's into it. They built one and thst has been it. Oh well more for me.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I've noticed that there not as easily bought where I live. Seems model shops are the only source. May have to try online

Tried to get a snap together at Walmart for my son and the had no models or even paint or glue. Damn video games. I feel old

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Honestly thought it was gonna be a restoration. Removing all the rust and fixing it up lol.

8 years ago | Likes 291 Dislikes 1

That's the next step

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I thought it was a kit that you buy that is a beat up car that you restore like you would a real car.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Haha nope plastic kit painted and weathered

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Is that yours @OP? Your detail on this post makes me believe it could be.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Either they are using tilt shift or that is a model shot outside.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Yup taken outside. I put the dio on the back of my truck so the background looks somewhat in scale
