really nice attention to detail. I like how you left the cut and drill marks on the welded metal!
nice work indeed.

Holy crap, that looks like real plate steel out of ths weld shop. Extremely impressive!

exactly what I was thinking. Really incredible how real that steel looks. The chalk marks are pure genious BTW

 

[megazord_man]

Thanks guys, it was really fun painting those metal parts - I was looking forward to using the hair spray method and luckily it didnt fail.

The characters looks cool too but this car is simply turn out excellent!

Tee and Milosh just took the words out of my mouth: very impressive attention to detail!

 

[10 ball]

yep its all about the details, looking sweeeeeeeeeet

 

[Cileon]

The car reminds me of the movie death race, it looks really cool and really well done!

 

[AndyG]

Pure juiciness! I realy like what your doing with the metal some of the best rusted steel plate I've ever seen coming on leaps and bounds here. I can see a bronze at Euro coming on here!

 

[megazord_man]

Thanks all!

No Bronze with this one as it's not allowed in any of their categories - Can't go into fantasy as there isn't a figure present (unless someone can clarify the rules). None the less thanks for saying so! However I have made a couple of minor updates to the Shelby - Spade, Axe and M2 Machine Gun are all now complete just leaving the top box and body work to do.

 

[Milosh]

get you a couple cool figures to go with it then. This thing needs to be seen. awesome work so far sir!!!!!

I agree with Milosh. And get that body work done...it is looking sad compared to the awesomeness of the accessories. Lol

 

[wargamesculptor]

Have to agree with Milosh and KruleBear and would really like to see your take on a character to go with this beast

 

[megazord_man]

Well, I've driven it through the mud and left out in the rain over the last couple of days. Once again I'm slightly concerned that I've pushed the weathering too far. But it is what it is now - I can't take it to the car wash. Having said that it does look used! Just have the top luggage rack to work on now.

 

[KruleBear]

The only thing that looks off is the light highlights on the door edge below the door handles...do not know why, but it does not feel right. Everything else is ace.

 

[wargamesculptor]

If it was my car i'd definatly be worried about corrosion. In regards to the model I think its spot on. Are the tyres getting the same treatment ?

 

[megazord_man]

Yep, I noticed the tyres looked too clean after taking the snaps, so they're getting dirty tomorrow. As for the streaks under the door handles, they're mean to be rain streaks (if those are the things you're mentioning), not 100% myself on those yet. But I'm sure they'll look better in real light tomorrow.

 

[megazord_man]

Being away in France with work isn't good for getting painting done. Well finally I'm home and have had the brushes out and started adding some highlights. I think I need to push a few areas a little more mind. None the less the next major step is to give him red spots.

 

[SkelettetS]

badass mantis! and your cars are pretty much flawless, cool stuff :good:

 

[megazord_man]

Thanks SkelettetS - your toads would love to eat this insect! Here's another little update -

 

[10 ball]

Great work as usual mate, yes toads eat insects but an insect with a machine gun ?
I think not
