The weathering is Fantastic. Have you ever made a strip of raceway to display some of your kits.

James,
I'm not a DW fan, but you really nailed the look on this one. That weathered chrome looks fantastic. What technique did you use on the wheels?

Thanks for the info James, they were/are so well done I thought they couldn't possibly be the original chrome plating.
