Do you think we can restore her?







Here are some images of a small diorama of a Model A Ford abandoned, rusted out and half buried in the sand. I used Monograms 1/24 scale Model A for this one.

To apply the rust I used ground up chalk pastels into powder applied by dabbing my brush into some alcohol hand cleaner then into the chalk powder and onto the surface. Nice 'n'crusty.

    It really looks like metal and not plastic! I saw a lot of eroding wrecks in the desert the last couple of weeks.

    It is certainly original. You think that looks like my style? =)
