(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) not really. We all know that on a car that rusty you would NEVER be able to open the doors (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Bah, I'm unimpressed -- there's nothing growing up through holes in either of the trunks... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Just kidding, that's an impressive piece of work. But... I'd want a pair, showing the before and after view of a specific rustoration. |

I've seen this before too. It is really cool, and shows a lot of attention to detail, but it mostly does look like a really dirty new car. I believe it needs to be softened up in a few spots and pushed in with a hard point, maybe heat up a tire or two and flatten the bottom, etc.

Look at the scale of the hinges on the back trunk relative to the trunk top. I realized if they had made them that beefy to begin w/ on a 1/1 scale we'd never have had any trunk hinge issues (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) They'd also weigh about 50 pounds each (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Pretty good weathering exercise.
I noticed it has a German plate. When I lived in Germany during the 80's you never saw cars in that condition on the road. The TUV vehicle inspections were too tough for a rusted out car to pass. That was before the European Union was established and old beat-up cars were often shipped out to countries with less strict registration requirements. |
