DiscoSpud Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 My gentle Jesus was this kit frustrating or what? None of the parts fit well AT ALL! But given the fact that it took me 18 months to build I think it turned out well. It's box stock apart from the hand made antenna and weathering. I wanted it to look like the Duke boys had really thrashed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoSpud Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys! I've been weatherring since I was very young, mostly making model trains look like they'd been through central Australia. My technique is easy to learn. I dry brush, where you dip your brush in paint and cean it until there's only a tiny amount of paint left on there, then go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowe-t Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) Aaron, Excellent job with the weathering! It really looks like dried mud. What paint/color did you use for the 'orange' body? Edited July 24, 2011 by crowe-t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Shaver Hey, now that would be a nice twist on the same old, same old General Lees we see all the time. Do a little diorama scene with a scale figure Daisy washing the car! Come on... one of you DOH fans who have a GL built up... how about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
