Pretty much box stock apart from a lowering job and wheels and tyres from the johan rancher caddy. The paint is all enamel drybrushing with matt paints, followed by a sprinkling of dry dirt while still tacky then waxed with a bit of scotchbrite pad to give the sheen old rust has.

Thanks guys, it was fun to ignore all the rules for painting with this one, the best way I could describe the paint process is like an impatient 5 year old painting before its dry

Nice one Stitch, I've tried this style before and yes, it's a change to gleaming paintwork alright !
Saying that it's also hard to get right, and I think you nailed it !

Cheers mate, I dont know if the method i used is the best, but i used one half inch squre head brush and didn't clean it between colours. I started with a matt black base then built it up dry brushing from the darkest colours to the lighter ones. When it was still slightly tacky i dusted it with dry earth and used fine scotchbrite pads to wax it. I've got something done similar for the next motm that will end up in a small dio |
