That turned out really nice!

I regret not grabbing some of these when Lombard's had the blow-out sale.

So what would you do with this one

That one is begging to be slathered with graffiti, and tags!

I haven’t weathered a white car yet…
I am thinking fade (mostly for lettering / logos)
Maybe the a very dilute grey oil wash…then Raw Umber / Van Dyck Brown oils..
Airbrush grime…
My RR has virtually no graffiti but realistically it would be appropriate

Couldn't say it any better Chris.

You did a great job.

So what would you do with this one

I did dirt (dark and light) powders. Then a light airbrush of earth along the bottom. Dull coat to seal and take the shine away.

So what would you do with this one

Depending on the date the car was built and the time frame you model in, almost anything! White cars are a canvas waiting for dirt, grime, rust and maybe graffiti from the vandal/artists.

I sent off 2 cars yesterday, 82’ ST reefers that were just sprayed with a matte clear finish to knock of the new plastic car shine, with barely a touch of roadbed kick up spray on the couplers, end panels and sill of the car sides

just have fun with it

Guys... nice work, this is eye candy!
I have a couple of these one in the the PC and the other in the ICG. I may just make one of them my next victim!

 

[AirbrushNo5]

Thanks…!
