DanR Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I found this at Hobby Lobby discounted to $7.50 and grabbed it for the heck of it. It turned out to be a fun build. I threw a lot of weathering techniques at it and loaded the bed with some random items. Thanks for looking! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Great find. I remember when this body trim model Chevrolet came out. They looked great when new, but unless garaged all the time the tape stripes didn't age well nor did the paint if not cared for. Your finish on the surface oxidation and the way the stripes are deuterating are very realistic looking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted it to look like something that is used all the time with little regard to how it actually looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy grumpy Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Great looking Chevy. I like the subtle weathering and the faded paint effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first time I used the hairspray technique - it's on the roll bar, push bar, and the spare tire bracket - it really does produce a nice rusted look!
