Finished - 32 Ford Salt Flats Racer

[CADguy]

Here it is with the weathering finally done.

After a weekend of time trials this baby got really salty.

The salt was a mix of white glue, water, baking soda. I applied it with a toothbrush, by flicking the bristles.

The effect is a little heavier than I would of liked, but the 'salt' became whiter and heavier as the glue dried. OOPS.

Thanks to all who followed and commented on the buildup in the progress thread

Very cool!

Salty! A very nice build... how about a little bit of salt flat as a base for it, and an old style pickup to service it?

I think the salt build up looks fine, more like it's just finished a pass. It's certainly very realistic looking.

I like it....the salt does look like it has sprayed off the tires. Very convincing.

Great job Mat.
The salt effect is extremely well done.

Excellent build! Salt effect looks really cool

That looks great. It should surve as a warning to people who want to go drive on the flats... don't do it! Your food won't taste right for weeks, apparently!

Great job. I don't know if I agree about it being too heavy... that reference pic you showed wasn't too different from that.
