but not quite. I originally posted this under my birthday blogg but realised that it wasn't really the place, so I created a Vbench log. I haven't done any armor lately so I thought I would post what I have been working on for the relevance of paint effects.
It's a car rather than Armour but the treatment of the paint is a very similiar to the deterioration that you get on desert vehicles. The dark color of the vehicle was a test subject for my BR52 project as both are weathered, dirty, black painted surfaces that build up a sh*tload of crap from the enviroment.
It's not armour but it is tough and it has to survive attacks on the road from crazies rather than Nazis.
I have been fiddling around with Mad Mad interceptors (road Warrior). I started with a number of 1/25 scale plastic injected models, then moved on to the 1/18 diecast and develpoed the weathering further in the larger scale, which was more applicable to the larger size of the train in 1/35 scale.
MAX 1/25 PLASTIC
I experimented with the 1/25 scale plastic model first and enhanced it quite a bit adding suspension and all of the interior detail except the dashboard and drivers stuff.
I also added small stuff like the ariel hole in the front quarter panel, as well as the roll bar and the rear shelf- which were a real challenge to fit inside the body shell.
I also cut out the door inner panels to simulate the missing door trims and added the accentuators as wire. I used foil to surface the strip plastic which is painted black below (original doors had padded trim and armrests where I have the holes and block shapes.
I made a stand for 2 cars - 1 from the first movie and another from the second. I used black perspex cut to varying thickness' - i drew this design out first and thought it would be easy but getting everything to fit exactly, with a clear cover dropping over the top, was a bit harder than I thought
The clear cover goes over the top and the GT 351 badge ends up right in the middle of the rear black perspex panel.
