Albert Moore Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 So cool having the forum back up. Here's my most recent build. This is the rather old 1/24 Lincoln Continental built as a curbside rust slammer of sorts. Actually it started off as an experiment in doing a patina finish that went fairly well so I went ahead and finished it. As far as the kit goes, it wasn't too bad, but it shows its age and was troublesome in spots. The suspension was lowered quite a bit from stock height as it looks much better in the weeds. Thanks for looking, all comments, kudos, critiques etc welcomed as always.
Albert Moore Posted July 13, 2013 Author Posted July 13, 2013 Thanks guys! I appreciate the kind comments. One more photo-
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Wow...that body style is a natural for the treatment you've given it. Perfect rake and stance, very believable patina. Seriously cool.
realgone58 Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 That's really neat. A car you usually don't see like this. Nice weathering, and I love the added "vintage" style pic!
DrKerry Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 I like the patina and the look of what ya did, my only thing is the chrome is to shiny for a patina'd ride..
Albert Moore Posted July 14, 2013 Author Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) Thanks for all the kudos on my Lincoln! I debated on whether to rust the chrome, then I found a photo of a patina'ed car with a new chrome at a car show and liked the looks of it. Old and new, shiny and brown hue.

Dr. Cranky Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Albert, I like this model quite a bit. It's got lots of rusty charm I like. Great job.
Dominik Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 the weathering looks good! how have you made it? Real rust or paint?
Albert Moore Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 Thanks again, fellas! @ Dominik- I used a Rust-All wash mixed with earth tone pastels, then applied with a broad brush (or stippled for a little texture). The base coat is red oxide primer. IMO it's a bit rustier than I wanted, but all in all I am pleased, given it's my first attempt at this kind of finish. Cheers, Albert
