Amt Rat Rod Refueler
Finally took some more photos.

This is the AMT Lil Gasser. I felt it needed a different look and turned it into the Rat Rod Refueler.

The tank was rusted using a two part painting system available at most craft stores. The base paint actually contains metal fillings. This is followed by a chemical coat, which rusts the fillings in about 24 hours. I also applied this paint in a few spots on the model to give it a further rusted look.

The primary color of the model was achieved with multiple coats of paint and washes consisting of reds, grays, browns, etc. I found that in some cases, the chemical used in the two part rusting system also interacted with some of the paint giving it a lime wash type affect turning the paint white.

The interior is mostly stock with some flocking on the floor board.

I did scratchbuild the base for the tank, as the kit base didn't fit together very well. I used a popcicle stick for the signs on the rear deck.

Not my usual subject matter but a fun and interesting build.

Doesn't seem to be really appreciated that much.

Agreed. That is much harder to pull off than building a shiny thingamabob. I wish I had at least half of your weathering skills.

I agree with everything previously said.

Your weathering looks very realistic. I can't believe my eyes
Top job

Nice job. For some reason, all rusted up like that...the model actually looks as if it has some weight to it.
