a new life for a WC52 - FINISHED !

Post by exether_mega » Thu Sep 27, 2007 10:00 am

Hello guys,

here is my first project on a 21st Century model. I was waiting to have decals (thanks Razor) before starting.

When I receive it, laminated springs were broken so I made new ones with plasticard. Then all parts were painted olive drab with a Badger 150.
Engine is painted Industrial Light Grey and detailed. Then color filters, drybrush and so on...

Next, more drybrush, decals and weathering.

The weathering is sweet, is that real mud?

That looks great! :shock: I've wanted to do that to mine as well, just haven't had the time or patience to do so. You've given me some idea of where I want go with it. :D

Phil,
Nice job!
I like the mud on the windshield where the wiper has gone through it.
It looks very realistic.
Thanks for sharing!
