How difficult would it be to sun fade the paint and give it an overall surface rust appearance, especially on the upper surfaces? This tank model is about the best picture I found of the degree (maybe slightly lighter than) I mean.
Hit it with a good shot of dull coat first. Remove window glass first if you are able...don't know how it is assembled.Feedback welcome.
That looks fantastic!I took the truck apart today and put some more work into it. I couldn't get the glass out, it snaps in and I was worried I would break it, but I did get the interior out and painted that.
I sponged some DullCote onto the body, avoiding the windows, and then added some sun-fading to the paint.
It looks pretty old and crusty now.
I have few suggestions , the body work is too good , at 12 years , there ought to be some dents , bent bumper and a trashed grill , it would hurt if there was a crack in the windshield . A little flaked paint wouldn't hurt either. You could also take a dremel and buff the tread off the tires or better yet find another couple of tires that are differentI took the truck apart today and put some more work into it.
