Chevy Malibu - old and dirty

Hi,

this time I show you a Chevy Malibu. A car the owner can (still) work with. I guess it will break soon. It belong the owner of a wrecking company ….

The model was built more than 10 years ago, weathered and packed with everything that was found. When I built it I felt the urg not to built a model with a high gloss apperance.

Hi Dr.AK,

the car was airbrushed with flat yellow and covered with several falt clear coats. Then thinned modelcolours were used to make the dirt, rust, primer, etc. It was a rather long time to build it, because I let all colours dry thoroughly before I aplied the next one, but it was fun.

look old and dirty, but damn nice ! :D

Put this on the table with all these high shine street machines. I bet this one will draw most attention, nice build...good to see an old beater.

this is very realistic, the rust spots look so damn real, excellent work man!

I like the piza in the front seat. That really is a great bit of art work. Makes a change to see something older, and more beaten up..!! Like a proper road car, not the flashy sports cars etc.. Not to say the flash cars are rubbish, it's just that your work is original, and one of a kind. But then again, so can some of the more clean looking builds.

Supber job.

Nice touch with the water drip thing from the holes. I like it.

Thats so sweet! so realistic! and i agree with proosen!

Amazing work! The detail is overwhelming. Keep it up.

Excellent work!! very realistic!!!

Excellent work!! very realistic!!!
:grinyes: :smokin:

Too cool for school! :sunglasse

Dirty old beaters are extremely fun to put together and detail out...a nice change from doing shiny, new cars. :smile:

:eek: This is amazing.

So that looks very realistic!! AWESOME work!! :smokin:

What a piece of art.
All the weathering looks so real.

Very realistic, Excellent work!!

Wow!

Ahh, the details !
The missing "L" on the rear hatch, the blue bucket, the rust holes..
I must try this on an old Impala I have lying around with bad paint..

Very cool build! :bigthumb:
Awesome weathering job. :)

Being from Chicago, I can tell you from experience that you nailed the beater look very well. About the only thing missing is a stack of unpaid parking tickets jammed on the dashboard. Excellent!
