Alright, I promised I'd post a couple of pictures of my latest weathering projects. Keep in mind, I am not an Aggro or a Mellow-Mike or a MrKluke. Enlarge at your own risk, the photos are quite large.

The letters are "scraped" after a car I saw not too long ago. The letters looked like someone had chizzled away at them. I gave this car the same effect with an Xacto.

That rust took me 2 hours. Not an easy task. This next hopper was saved from being over-weathered with water and paper towels. It was a complete rust job, from top to bottom, but then I decided it was too much. My washing of the rust turned out to look like a car I photographed a couple of years ago. I would post the picture, but this was back in the days of film for me. Plus, my scanner is on the fritz.

[IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/csxwatcher/Weathered%20Models/P9301217.jpg[/IMG] I used my flash here. I think it highlights the rust better. Please excuse my mess-of-a-weathering-table. The scratches are from "fading" the logo, so to speak. I used sandpaper. Trust me, those will be gone once the car is completed! Both cars are only one side of the car. And as I said, these are just progress shots. The finished model will look a lot better than it does right now. If the picture quality is not good, blame it on the Chiefs-Raiders game![;)] Go Raiders! uspscsx I had to update the photos URL's due to reorganization of my Photobucket account.
