Peugeot 405_Paris Dakar

After some time of work, here it is the finished kit.
It was a funny progress...
The kit still took some wear and tear effects and some dakar effects.

Looks great. Always love seeing Dakar racers.

super stuff! now I'm embarassed to do mine ! :)
PLEASE do a tutorial for "dirty" effect weathering - pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaase :biggrin:

Fantastic! I love the weeds hanging out the back.

Looks very realistic, great work.

very cool weathering effects. I just picked up this kit and noticed all the blue portions are decals. How were they to apply, especially the rear bumper & front grill?

Thank you for the comments!!

I promise that in the future, I accomplish a tutorial as soon as has other kit to do this effect. :lol2:

I like to do this type of works... to dirty kits is with me :biggrin:

How were they to apply, especially the rear bumper & front grill?

Those Decals are complicated of if they put... but with help of the microsol and microset, the case is resolved.

Nice work, very subtle weathering :thumbsup:

I noticed from a link to a Portugeuse model contest that a lot of guys there like to weather their cars (Unless they were all Zek's LOL).

I didn't notice the camel grass in the bumpers until now, nice touch. I'm waiting for somebody to build a Group B rally car with the infamous severed fingers in the grille (I'd be willing to bet that happened in the Rally of Portugal: Know any older guys missing digits Zek?).

I love how you misaligned the door to symbolise damage! Cool! And I too shall join the club when I say:

WE NEED A WEATHERING HOW TO!!!
