A few pics of my 52 Chevy Belair junker a very old AMT kit 1/25 scale its about 85% done just need to add a few details like tire valves and a dark wash to age the rope holding trunk closed, maybe some more junk to the interior, any and all comments welcome.

this is great. Nice thinking outside the box. With all the kits out there everybody is doing the same thing or close to it, but here you go and do this. Very wonderful. I love to see things that nobody else is doing. Great job

Thanks adws it was a fun project and as you say something different.

I like it! The spidering in the windshield is great.
Nice work.
Chuck

Thanks Chuck when i first started cutting the winshield from the sprue i cracked it so i decided to put the rest of the cracks in the window, seams like it worked out well.

Hi

This is great a real neat effect.

I like the effect in the engine bay.

Regards

Thanks Sean what was done to the engine compartment can be applied to any model.

Wow! Very realistic finish rv. I love it.
I almost did that kind of thing to AMT 1950 chevy pickup, I ended up filling and sanding all the dents and scratches previously made and the car became smokey silver custom...
Guess I didn't have the guts to do that

Here's a page with lots of sad stories involving old US cars ending up in poland or somwhere around, mostly in polish but its all in the pictures. Thought you can use it as an inspiration

Thanks Pedro iam glad you liked it, thats a great site i have book marked it, it will provide good info for weathering old cars. This junker is going in a dio called junk yard dog there will be a 1/25 scale Bulldog lots of junk parts a dead tree and all kinds of details should be an interesting build.

Rv, its looking good I am wanting to see a scene with the bulldog Great stuff! Kevin

Thanks Kevin still a little more work to do on the car but almost there. I already have the Bulldog and he looks to be in scale, the base is 12" by 9" oval i have already put some of the ground work on and i am collecting and painting all of the junk car parts, i have also started the dead tree, i will post some pics in the Dio section when i get a little more work done.

Awesome work Robert. The rust looks really great. Good variation in the color of the rust.
Lots of great details. The green liqued from the radiator is a nice touch. Shows good attention to details.

Do you need more junkyard stuff. Wheels, tires, hoods etc.
I have a very large amount of spareparts from car kits.

That looks like it'd still start right up!

Thanks Jesper I am glad you like it so far, i do have a large box full of old model car parts but wright after i moved it seams to have gone missing if i can't find the parts i may take you up on the offer. Wait till you see some of the other details going in like a wooden crate filled with old car parts and other junk i may also put in a 1/25 scale Human figure if i can find the wright one. Yes she's mint should start wright up with very little work.

look really nice, i like the art side of the work,
lol..."for sell", who want to buy car like that?


magic day, daniel

Thanks Daniel i am glad you like those little touches, i needed something on the passenger side of the car to breakup all that white and the flowers on the door just seamed like a good idea at the time.

Plug ugly! That's awesome.it totally need more weeds around it it a dio to make it quite the home for a family of possums. I love it.

Cuhail

Thanks Murphy, i will be adding more grass and weeds tonight along with a few other details.
