Been busy doing all the usual Seasonal running about for the last few days ,But I did get a little done ,most of the stuff has been added to the engine bay ,I added a decal to the battery and curled up the edges on it like its peeling off ,I still have more bits to go in then I'll get it all weathered up ;D
Well ,pretty much done in the engine bay ,just a few little bits to sort out . I added the headlight mounts and bezels and also the front bumper ,I damaged the bumper and headlight on the same side as the damaged and rusting guard ,havent finished with the rust yet ,the next stage will see it settle in more . I added some corrosion around the battery terminals too ,along with more rust /green slime and general weathering around the engine bay .
I have to put a grille in front of the fan ,and add the wipers to the windscreen ,then I can get the bonnet/hood on ;DI' will also put the headlight glass in place once they are dry
Well I thought I was just about done in the engine bay ....but a friend of mine suggested putting a birds nest in there ;D Which sounded cool to me so I had to give it a try : I made up a nest and a few eggs just to show its still in use ,the eggs are'nt painted yet ,But I'd like a few opinions ...should the nest stay ..or go ???
Looks cool Chris, neat detail too. I'm sure a bird has nested in an engine somewhere...I'd keep it - and maybe spot the eggs (if that's realistic) - spots would be a neat splash of variety in the overall scheme.
