Re: 1/8 Rat Rod
What a masterpiece, one of the most realistic models ever. I'm amazed by the attention to detail and the weathering. To me it looks like the rear tire is even low on air. Nice added touches to the interior too. I really am impressed with this.

Re: 1/8 Rat Rod
Great job on the weathering. I really like the mexican blanket seat covers....so cool. I agree the rear tire does look low on air. Awesome work. How about a tutorial on the weathering if you dont mind?

Re: 1/8 Rat Rod
Ron, you are quite a talented builder. Your weathering and rust are extremely realistic. Job well done. I feel like if I took it apart some sort of wild creature would fly out of it.

 That is amazing, especially the weathering. With a realistic background, I'd never believe that this was a model!!!! Truly awe inspiring
