OK here are a couple of pics of the wheels and the start of the dash board.More will be done to both, the wash on the wheels have to dry/cure before adding more weathering. The wheels will most likely be getting some of the green stuff growing on them.

I still have to rust the rims a bit, this was just the chipping stage. Note the diff between the HS chipping on the wheels and the sponge/brush chipping. I think the HS chipping is much more realistic and has more dimension or texture to it.

This is looking great! Love the rusting very well thought out. Great stuff and very informational.

I've done a bit more work on the motor using the ref pics I have. I want to make this HT look like she's been sitting for a very long time with moss and other green things growing on it. Besides using my normal rusting tech I started applying some AK Interactive slime green.
Here's one of the ref pics I'm using.

Now for the model. Note that the weathering and green is not completely dry, slight shine to it. It will look diff when dry.

Got slightly burnt out the past few months plus other priorities at the moment. Might be a couple of weeks til I'm in the swing of things again.
