Wow! Perfectly done! I love the leaves and the stuff on the dash and package shelf. It looks great! I wonder, though, just where do you daily drive it?

Gorgeous work, I'd love to know how you did the rust so well, I'm going to try to do a "copy" of the Dude's car from the Big Lebowski.

Welcome to AF. Talk about a grand entrance! This model is spectacular. Most amazing weathering I have ever seen, I almost feel sorry for the poor car. You clearly have skills and I hope we see more builds from you.

Hey there,

I love that beaten and weathered look! Now you must just build a little "Detroit suburb" diorama to place it in... for more realistic pictures.

Keep it up!

I think the most spectacular rust stuff I see are by JT, but this new one is not second: not much at all: great, I also think that this kind of stuff crash the wall between modeling and art, giving "life" to the plastic. Bravo.

Re: Buick GNX - revell 1:24 - daily driver

Very nicely done. Love that taped down plastic sheet rear side window.

Based on the other used 1970 model that was posted here recently, beater Buick's seem to be the latest 'trend'..
