Hi Guys

Thanks for all the interest in this build, glad to share tips with my fellow model addicts!

Once the oils had dried I flat coated the model, rusted up the chrome parts and gave the whole thing an oil wash with a dirty grey colour and played around with white spirits to get a look of dirt that had washed over the car as well as adding a little green discolouring.

Then I glued on various synthetic and organic grasses and foliage to make the car look overgrown.

Heres the pics

This was definitely a fun project and has got me thinking about another rusty car!

Thanks for looking

Hi Chris

Used various mininatur tuft grasses and then some moss I found in my garden and dried out.
Its a win win because I clear my lawn of moss and get to use it for my models!

I find that real mosses scale well and don't lose their colour. I've got some I picked 18 months ago which still look the same now as they did then.

The mininatur range is excellent with different colours for different seasons and a large variety of grasses

Cheers

Leigh

Absolutely awesome. Would bawl like a baby if I saw a real one in this condition.

Wow that is awesome work. I love how you got the paint to look like its just peeling away and falling off.
