May I ask...what's the scale? It looks like a 1:1 plastic body on a real chassis...

That is some great weathering! What do you use? By chance have you used the new Tamiya weathering kits?

Nice. Do you crumble up the pastels and dry brush the powder, or do you just randomly knick the plastic with the pastel in hand? I really need to try this some day. Problem is these days, I only build for customers, and all of them want shiny new cars! :p

This is fantastic work! The Hustler sets it off great but maybe a few greasy finger prints need to be added, stellar build, believe me, i rarely post in the street section!. Ill be following this one!

The seat looks like a complete project in itself. I'm used to seeing this level of work from you now. This is like watching a sequel for a movie I really liked. Looking forward to more.

Holy cow!! Looks super, James.

Those gaskets in the back must be micro small!!

Where do you get the odds and ends, if I may ask?

Man.. this is looking amazing. I also build armor and it's nice to see weathering techniques that are used in armor on a car/truck. You don't get to see weathering too often around here unless it's a rally car or somethin...

This is art. You're not wrong, this stuff belongs in an art gallery. Brilliant work. I'm scared to visit a military modeling site - there must be some wild work going on over there.

Unbelievable... the pure work of art... I know doing all these realistic and reasonable weathering is actually way too much more difficult than making a squeaky shiny bodyshell. Brilliant!!!!
