Hi all just stepping away from aircraft models and onto another derelict abandoned car which I love to do. I picked up this cheap AMT kit for $12 as I would be bashing it.
,Starting with the interior I have a few photos showing various states of decay so I picked one and ran with it. I trialled using liquid mask to mimic hanging old rotten interior fabric. I waited until it was almost dry and then rolled with my finger then let it fully dry and paint it.
I took a dremmel to the back of the seats until almost through then picked and cut at it from the front to make the seat tears and added cotton sprayed in a light straw color to replicate the old seat filling. Lastly a hint of green as a moldy, mossy look.

Interior assembled
Next its onto the exterior shell I did some test swatches for the rust tone I am pretty happy with. I noticed on most derelict vehicles its a very smoth dissemination between the old paint and the rusty surface. For tht reason I am going to forgo the chipping effect and lean of pure airbrush skills after some hand painting, washes and pigment powder should give the shell the desired look.
I worked on the base coat last night that softer rust effect then ill work in some of the cars original colour tones.
First coat Vallejo 71.037 Mud Brown over Primer Grey
Second coat Vallejo 70.984 Flat Brown
Last few evenings were two four hour airbrushing sessions.
All paints used on car body. Next will be touching up weathering, wheels, trim and details like lights and chrome details. A final coat of AK Utra Matt to seal the paint.
Finished assembly and paint
Great quarentine project to try some techniques products for rusting and hone the airbrush skills.
