Doog's New Weathering Tutorial up..
Posted by the doog on Wednesday, April 21, 2010 7:41 PM

Hi guys,

Well, I know that I've been "hanging out in the garage" Whistling (as wbill so appropriately put it!) lately, but I haven't forgotten my Armor roots! Surprise

Since most of you would never usually go into the Auto's forums, I just wanted to let y'all and some of the new guys here know that I have a new weathering tutorial up which can easily be applied to Armor, as I'm working with flat paints on a wreck of a 1963 Impala that Jenn and I found next to an old, closed-down quarter-mile dirt track that I used to go to.

There's not only the hair spray technique covered, but also the use of oils and MIG pigments, as well as a radical, "cracked paint" effect that I discovered quite by accident. Check out the results---here's the link to the "Auto's" posting.

great job Karl. i always look forward to your tutorials. I have used several of your techniques. Now for a question, did happen to look for the owner of the Impala and ask if it was for sale? It would make a very nice restoration project.

Ok smarty pants, let's do SHINY now!

lol--thanks, Wayne--and how's this?

They;re the two 71 Road Runners that I just finished. Smile You know, my uncle calls cars "Shinys"--I didn't think that anyone else used that term, until I heard you use it! lol!

And thanks, Anthony and modelbuilder. By the way, I didn't find the owner of the Impala--the engine was removed, of course, ad the weirdest thing was that it had a '64 interior in a '63 body! If you read through my tutorial, you'll see the problems that caused me in building this car accurately! Surprise

Restoring it would be a real project--you'd have to find an entirely nee interior!

Mnay thanks for the Tutorial.  I may just pick a future build just learn from you on this. ToastBow DownBow DownBow Down

Restoring that Impala would be expensive- new floorpan, etc...

Perhaps the Impala restoration cost could be defrayed by "Pimp My Ride" ?  Big Smile

Nice to see you haven't totally abandoned your roots Karl and can still find ways to weather and rust over in the garage. Big Smile Yes

Karl you ever thought about taking that Impala that you found back with you and restoring it back into working order?

Thanks, Spruce-ce, Bill, modelbuilder, and Mikey. Wink

Mikey, I don't have the skills to even replace the CD player. I'm completely "car-stupid", and wouldn't even know where to start with that Impala. Besides, I'm fairly certain that someone close by owns it. It was near an old truck too, in a field next to some houses.

In fact, the urban sprawl there is what shut down the race track where it was. Noise complaints from new residents--who moved next to a race track!  Bang Head
