Nice start to a nice Cameo:

Hosted on Fotki

 

nothing too new here ,just some old stuff ive been gathering over the years,by no means a pro but they look good from afar.lol

 

Hi guys! Nice kits!! Would love to see more of that Cameo )

Here's what I've been up to today:



It's my 1949 Ford G***er project, goes together slowly but surely. After the pic is taken I have been painting some more of the small items, getting the engine done in gold and shot the body/hood/scoop in some kinda white color.

Will hopefully get more done later on - the Sunday ain't over yet

 

Hey harpo1313, I like the kits you've built!! Who needs to be a pro? I don't give a **** if my kits are pro-built or not - they still sit on my shelf as long as I am pleased )

 

thanks

 

Have not built anything other than paint up a few bodies, in 2 months! Im slacking..

 

Slacking, Omega?? Hell no, some of the best bodies around!!

 

cant build models to save my life but right on fellas

 

Got to admit, that's the first rusty fibergl*** Pro-mod body I've ever seen.

 

OMEGA. dig the patina. care to enlighten some of us amateurs as to the techniques used to get that finish?? pretty cool.

 

Indocil airbrushed rust on a full size Pro Mod a couple years ago.

 

Looking good! I need to get my stuff unpacked and get back to work. It's been a looong time!

 

latest - getting close to be done.

 

That's pretty cool. How do you guys make plastic look rusty, and like multi layered pain?

 

Nice models again this week! And Johnny has the right idea. I like to build what I want build, not what I think other people want to see. Somtimes I add a ton of detail, sometimes I just do a quicky build. There are no rules, as far as I am concerned. Just have fun doing it!

Hot Rod Michelle, Sometimes I use real rust...it comes in a 2 part kit that I got from Michael's craft store at the Fallbrook mall....I'm sure you know where that is?

Here is my offering for this week....an early B/A T bucket in 1/8 scale.

 

oh yeah, thats another goodie, cartoon. i been workin on this, not far to go now.

 

Omega....you're the best at patina, scale or full size!

 

car toon: hail the fun ) btw, helluva nice bucket!!!! Some years ago I started a 1/8 bucket but when the frame was built I noticed that I have no shelf space for a monster like that. Still don't have it but I really get inspired to continue now )

kiwi: another wild, wicked & krazy car

 

and heres a few rusty examples. i use red oxide rust kill paint and mist over the top with black primer. repeat process untill your happy with result. for patina, ill paint the car several diffrent colours and then carefully sand it back.

 

thanks Hot Rod Johnny. got a couple more to put on, gota go get lunch first.

 

This makes me wanna start building models again.
I quite when you couldn't get high off the glue anymore.

 

not hamb friendly, but an example of rust treatment. see, fibregl*** does rust!

 

hell,i guess you still can. thats why wally world quit sellin em. cause the kids/glue. or thats their story anyways

 

this what i'm piddlin with, duece with a hawgnasty!

 

so is sniffin petrol better than glue? lol. paints good but you get a headach! i always have the windows open cause i wana hang on to what brain cells i have left. lol.

 

LOL..I knew someone would catch the "rusty fibergl***" thing... Lets just call it "faux" finish on a pro-mod There was a black one last year done up with fake patina..looked cool. art wise


Il rewrite my tutorial for you guys.
Basically its acrylic paints and rubbing alcohol

 

Omega, nice finish work . The patina is awesome.

 

looks like the sunday model show is about rust and patina, (awesome work, Omega) so heres a couple more rust pics.
