C&TS Stockcar 5549
Posted by Mr_Ash on Saturday, January 24, 2009 10:06 PM

I never liked my Bachmann stockcars very much... only ran then a couple times before replacing them with LGB stockcars... was bored yesterday on my day off so I desided to try and make one of my bachmann stockcars less of an eye sore.... results below :)

 Before

I started by painting the whole car "wood" then painting all of the parts that are saposed to be metal "rust" every single bolt and rivit included... then I gave it a few light coats of gloss black and new decals went over some of the rust stuff again and topped it off with dullcote... I like it

  

And this is what I was kinda going for http://www.cumbrestoltec.org/rs.php?num=5549
