This is my first attempt at creating an old, weathered field car. I have mixed feelings regarding the results. My facebook friends love it. But as I'm sure is probably the case with many around here, I see nothing but the faults when I view the pics. This is a Revell/Monogram 1/24 kit.
While building a weathered subject does widen the margin for error, it also seems as though it adds to the workload. I have a duplicate of this kit and plan on building a "restored" version of this car in the near future.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice....
looks pretty convincing. i like the broken windscreen and rusty engine
hide it behind a barn to complete the look.

I noticed things like the hole resulting from the missing mirror and door lock, nice touches. As you said, a junk car is a challenge- I like yours.
like the broken glass & ripped seats! good work

Don't feed the CM!
Looks damn good to me!
Nothing wrong with it at all, unless you want to buff it out to a showroom shine. Looks like a good home for rabbits!

Looks great to me. As I am sure you have been told before "We are our own worst critics". Don't be so hard on yourself. Been there, done that.

Thanx guys for the feedback.
Yes, we are in fact our own biggest critics.
Damn fine job!!! I can almost smell the rust and decaying rubber!
Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"
Your model looks GREAT!! I really like the "in the weeds" weathered look. Lots of details to look at. Again, a very nice job. How about this relic?

It's really sad when the only model tool you own is a box cutter.
it looks absolutely horrible, which is the point. great job! love to see the 'old' and 'restored' next to each other; it'd make a cool little scene
