Thanks, tellis!

Thanks smeagol--they're "Preisser" 1/24 scale bunnies. They come prepainted, but in mostly white and gray. I repainted them to look like cottontails. Can't remember where I got them--google them and you should come up with some distributors...

Doog, this rivals your haunted Panzer from several months back. Truly impressive and well deserving of publication.

LOL!

Right you are, Larry!

I'm happy to say, however, that my Daddy taught me right when he would take me to tag along on his hunting trips until I got old enough to get my own license--he told me "Never leave anything in the woods and field  but your footprints".

It's one of my "golden rules"! Smile [:)]

BTW I restrained from the 6-pack comments but now that you mention it that's a real threat to the environment and wildlife in particular as one of those little bunnies could easily get his head stuck in one of the holes.

Thanks ruddratt! Do you know, I get more comments on that 6-pack thing than justabout anything in the dio?! Amazing to me how a simple detail seems to "grab" everyone's eye! Thanks for the compliments!

James--thanks, as well! I've seen your truck too! Very nice!!! I too, love these old, beat-up vehicles! I have a folder of "junkyard photos" on my laptop with about 250 photos for reference--I love looking through it!

Thanks, Larryd!! Thank you for the compliments; I'm happy that you enjoyed the article!

Thank you, too, Papa John! The "mop-n-Glo" comment cracked me up! Now THAT will give me nightmares, LOL!

Thanks for commenting, all! Hope you are subscribers to Finescale! My Hetzer will also be in the next two issues, Dec, and Jan. Sign up now!! Blush [:I]

That is an incredible looking project.

I especially love the realism of the leaves, the rust and missing trim etc wonderful attention there to details.

The bunnies made me lol !

 

BTW I just finished the HowTo andsome good tips. Looking forward to the mag article.

You've earned it, doog! That is one impressive piece! I love the attention to the small details, like the wires hanging out of the headlight fixtures and the empty plastic ring-thingies that held the 6-pack together. Very cool! Thumbs Up [tup]

"Lair of the Rust Bunnies" photo feature up in forums...
Posted by the doog on Thursday, September 18, 2008 10:50 PM

Hi all!

If you all remember my "Lair of the Rust Bunnies" dio here of the rusted-out Chevy Nomad, I'm honored to say that it is in the new November issue, and also up in a photo feature here on the FSM site, under "How-to Articles" under the "Auto" subtitle.

Click on that, and it's called "Photo Gallery: Karl Logan's rustbucket Revell 1:25 scale Chevy Nomad"

I had to remove this post when I had sold the article for publication, but I just want to let you all know that it, and the "Hair Spray Weathering Technique" tutorial I did with it is with it!

Here's a few pics of it--tons more over there!
