'77 GMC tow truck

[Styrene Scientist]

hey guys, got some paint on the tow truck today.

I like how that looks. The paint has a very nice used look to it. Did you use the hairspray technique to achieve that slightly rusted look?

 

[Styrene Scientist]

no hairspray just old fashion paint brushing with craft and oil paints.

the back part of the truck will be white.

I paint on the rust spots and scratches. to get the faded and dirt look I just brush on oil paints, "neat" from the tube and blend it out. then seal with dullcote.

Very well done

Excellent.

To an armor guy, it's something I can wrap my head around.

Neat, that looks like a well used busy truck. Nice chipping, not too much, not too little.

Very nice, the weathering is so realistic!

Neat, the little foliage on the rear is a nice touch. If you don't think that's plausible, I noticed some on my back bumper that's been riding for the last couple of days.

the interior is complete i kept it simple with paint detail and a few things.

Ahhh...looks like home. I had a '77 Bonanza that was well worn and abused, even had grass growing in the carpet from where I spilled grass seed once.

The coke can looks too tall, if you don't mind my saying, looks like it could be one of those tall boy beer cans, I guess by the time it gets inside it'll be hard to tell. The upholstery looks great! And who can't love that pup!

 

[Styrene Scientist]

thanks!

i dont worry to much about stuff being in scale. I use lots of 1/35 junk also.

 

[Styrene Scientist]

getting close now, just got to add a few small details, antennas etc. maybe a base.
