• Rusty cars
  • I like the salt method......check Youtube for a how to *PIC*
    • The salt method does seem popular - that looks good *NM*
  • Before you start, research how the vehicle you're building rusts, due to design or engineering. i.e. 50s era headlight brows, vinyl top perimeters, areas water collects, panel joints, etc. How it rusts varies in each area of the car *NM*
  • Here's a copy and paste of something I posted here a while back. Just an idea I had, not perfect, but food for thought, hopefully. *PIC*
    • Mark C., - that doesn't look heavy handed at all to me - looks exactly like cars I see around here. We have humidity, and people use tarps, only to find the bottom of the car rusty. Looks great! *NM*
      • Thanks. Overall I liked the effect, but on future builds I might try to take a little rust away from areas that are a little less prone/vulnerable, and maybe add some holes or patches to some of the floor areas. The fun thing is that there are many ways to go about it. *NM*
  • My first "real" attempt; shared here before a long time ago - *PICS*
    • Jonathan, your Beetle looks very realistic! Your weathering absolutely looks perfect! *NM*
      • Thank you - I'd like to try this again on another project - to see if I was just lucky :) *NM*
      • Yes, very cool. First time I've heard of the hairspray method. *NM*
    • The low/flat tire is a nice detail, too. *NM*
    • That is awesme. *NM*
