...I have built models since 1959.....your work looks very nice, weathering/aging is one of my favorite projects....


...one complaint though :bigsmile:.....the SuperBird......the wings don't rust, they are aluminum...and the fender scoops don't rust either, they are plastic

  Thanks for the compliments and suggestions. All comments are welcomed. I agree with 4Cruzin and added a few more bushes. I have been building models since I was very young also but building these dioramas are new so I'm still in the experimental stage and still learning. Got a lot of ideas and things to build yet and I am always learning. DAYTONA  I had no idea about the wing/scoops. I need to change the look of those. Half the fun for me is making things as real as possible.  Again thanks all.    Doug

...old winged cars, the wings usually just fade with age(they hold up better than the rest of the car)....the scoops, they were made out of an off white plastic, usually the paint fades on those too, but sometimes it will wear thru and a little plastic will show on an edge, or top curve.....

...I hope you understand I wasn't knocking your work....it is very good.....but it's very difficult to be an expert on everything you build....I have built hundreds of models thru the years and I have made many mistakes along the way....modeling is a great hobby, hope you many more years/projects of fun....
