The Revell 70 Plymouth Roadrunner Build Update #4 All together now

[@markellison1364]

The weathering looks great, just like the real thing.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. Growing up this is about the best looking car I could afford, so I'm very familiar with stop signs on the floorboards and rust on the hood. LOL

[@wayneburgess6591]

That build is turning out great. Thanks for sharing your weathering details, I'm always a bit overwhelmed by the infinite number of weathering techniques available and it's great to see someone select a few and complete a build. Your display idea is excellent. Thanks for sharing.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. I really try to keep it as simple and inexpensive as I can.

[@lancerevell5979]

The rust job is turning out pretty good! 😎👍 I've long used the Tamiya Weathering powders for weathering military vehicles and aircraft. I need to try it on a car model. I have a pickup truck I'm going to make as a Gulf service truck that's seen better days. 😊

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

The rust is a bit orange by it self, but when used with other colors it looks great.

[@tomcatflynn805]

I wish I would have discovered ur channel before I did my first junkyard diorama. Lot of great tricks. Love where you are going with the display. Very cool work. Thank you for the video. U got my. Wheels spinning for my next rust bucket

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. I am having a blast with this one. It's been a long time since I've done one.

[@LarrysModelShop]

Now that is one dirty crusty and rusty beautiful build! You have outdone yourself with this build with awesome weathering. Such a cool build and it started out so humble. Great job Mark!

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. I had so much fun building this one.

[@Pinkys-one-offs]

That looks amazing and I love what you got planned the new to the old rusty you could hang gas station signs on the fence and aged them as well can't wait to see it completed I love watching it come together.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. I've already printed a bunch of signs, I just have to weather them for the one side. I'm also going to do some spray painting on that side too. LOL

[@Pinkys-one-offs]

@@grandpamarkshobbies that is going to be so cool.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thanks.

[@linkpoison5511]

Looking good. I really like the way you ripped up the seat. If you don't mind I may use that tip. Have a great week!!!

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. I'd love it if you use it. When you do use the paper towel, try and find that brown paper towels that you find at a gas station or some place like that. The one's you use at home will dissolve.

[@lloydfriend1060]

This is not my type of build, but I’m tuning in ( yea I’m that old) to show my appreciation for your abilities and knowledge.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. (and I'm that old too) LOL This isn't really my thing either, but I did have a lot of fun with it.

[@terryknernschield2121]

Wounder job. Was afraid to try, but I'm reassured that anyone can do it. Next model will be weathered. Thanks for your tutorials.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

You are very welcome. It is a lot easier than people make it seem. Just have fun with it.

[@richiek6379]

Oh man it's lookin' great!!! Next time...sand off a letter or two of the PLYMOUTH... I've never seen a wreck with all the letters still in tact. Great job and attention to detail as usual. I know you had tons of fun doing this. It's almost going to be boring doing the new version. LOL Thanks for the video Mark.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

I thought of that after I already had it glued to the back of the car. I was afraid that I would mess something else up. Next time for sure I will sand a few off and drill a small hole where it was. You are right, it is almost boring doing the new one, but I'll add some things to it to make it fun.

[@edwardhood6252]

Hey Mark. That Roadrunner is really looking great. I'm really looking forward to seeing the final with both cars!

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much.

[@williambruce9207]

Looks good. I spent alot of time in junk yards growing up. Alot of the old cars would have either the glove box or the ash tray open, or both. Keep up the good work!

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

OOOOOOO man that is such a great idea. Next time I will for sure have the glove box open!!!!! I really like that.

[@Bruces-Eclectic-World]

Once again Mark you have done a awesome build. there are a ton of ways to weather anything and it is the builder that tries to reflect what they see in their mind's eye. Weathering for me is so relaxing while in the process that I get lost in it and I done went crazy with it... Lol The fence is a cool idea too... LLAP 🖖

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

I usually don't do the ole weathered cars, but you are so right. As I was doing this I was so relaxed. I already want to do another one.

[@charlesmcclure5994]

Love where you're going with this can't wait to see the finished scene 👍👍

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. I am having a blast with this one.

[@brucek3217]

That's coming along great ! The plastic water type bottles in the engine bay usually (sometimes) turn a nasty yellow after time. You could also add streaks from the caps from run-over. I have also used pastels and chalks for weathering for decades and I like that better than paint for the most part. 👍

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

I was afraid that it wouldn't look right with the car and the bottles yellow, so I went with gray. The camera didn't show the steeks that are coming down the bottles.

[@ModelCarMinion]

I like the way you explain the weathering and the plan to display the before and after. I have seen that used at a model show a long time ago and thought it was a cool idea. That fence makes a nice blank canvas for the backdrops of the two cars.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. I think I may add some signs to both sides of the fence, and maybe some graffiti to the old side. LOL

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi Mark, thst build is looking absolutely fantastic, you have brought thime 'old timer' to life, even if it looks dead, I was just going to suggedt you do a restored version but you best me to it,best regards from Australia, Les

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. Yeah, when I got the busted up kit I knew it was going to be best to just keep going with it. Then Lennis sent me a god one, so it was a no brainer to do them back to back. I just have to re do that ugly fence. I hate how that came out. LOL

[@robfaber3918]

Looks great. I have never tried anything like this but I'm thinking about it and I have an old junker that I use to see what would look good over another color so I might turn this into a junk yard car. At least try to. Thank you Mark for all the tips for weathering.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Give it a go. The cool thing is no mater what you do it's going to look good. LOL Thanks for following along.

[@tjeisenbraun647]

What a cool look! Awesome job, Mark!!!

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you TJ. This is way outside my wheelhouse, but I think I got them to look like the cars back in the woods behind the motel. LOL

[@modelcar1589]

You did an awesome job with the rust look👍🏿

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. This is way outside my comfort zone. LOL

[@CaptSpeirsB744]

There is a youtuber you may already know about that works in scale armor and his weathering techniques are incredible. To me a scale model when done needs to be believable and his are. His youtube channel is "Night Shift". I have learned so much from him.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

YES!!!!! I am a subscriber. He did a VW bug that is sunk in the mud that is so cool!!!!! I love his work.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Looking good!!

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much.

[@1968fordman]

This is gonna be so cool to see finished!👍

Looking Great Mark. 👍

[@Terry-390]

I like the pencil idea.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

It is a lot easier than using panel liner, and a lot more subtle too.

[@JustBelowAverageModelCars]

It is looking terrible! But, I think that is the point! Looking forward to seeing the new car and the diorama when you are done.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much.

[@stephenirvin4426]

I love the white scrapes on the passengers side. How did you do those? The bottles look awesome! Maybe a bit of rust in the missing headlights? Nice work!

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. I will be using rust and pastels in the headlights. I just haven't gotten back to it yet. For those scrapes I used the tip of a triangle file and dug it in a bit.

[@stephenirvin4426]

@@grandpamarkshobbies So that's down to the plastic. It looks just like a paint scrape from another car!

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

No, I scraped it first, then painted on the rust, then the yellow, then worked the yellow out of the scrape. It came out really cool. I'll do that again.

[@stephenirvin4426]

@@grandpamarkshobbies It really did! Nice job!

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thanks.

[@dariosmodelbuilds]

Looks fantastic from top to bottom. Question about the pastels. I heard that 'chalk' pastels should be used for this but most pastels I see in stores are oil pastels which I don't think would work. Did you use chalk or oil pastels? I like the idea of a Before and After build. For that fence you should age/dirty up, the After side and keep it pristine for the Before side. If you see my hunchback build add-ons you'll see how India ink does a marvellous job at aging wood.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

These are chalk pastels. I got them years ago from (I think) Hobby Lobby. Can't remember anymore. I am working on doing the fence just as you said. I also plan on adding some signs (old and new) to the fence.

[@dariosmodelbuilds]

Thanks for confirming. No Hobby Lobby in Canada but I'll find some of those Chalk pastels somewhere.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

I think this is the same set I have just different box. www.amazon.com/Pastels-Drawing-Painting-Supplies-Professional/dp/B0922BX4K4/ref=sr_1_23?crid=U4O8Q1E9FMR0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.DPXNNq_zHKjSBzxR8CZr4eqEoVNv82nw5VerEeEkgdM4omGWMvq-PyxYRrEUtFVRWN_5vDRJoYUiGRPyr1NT1w8B_pwtTIBwwt6KIHoTMSoINlmBlCN5uVjTo-A3ZHJsw-1djm3acc_BZNmEVC_CG5laksN_abI0enKnoJoDV4NTwVf_ZZF67jOYGGb3Y2wzohUyjbXmRJbA8NQd2a4zUqL6E2L4qn3JiV4JY3gCD03U82oyEzeEREt60dzvCisNCMeH6zzRcK3uZUYYMdPz31QpREloXtLGDil_8wNX-qo.1fxx7fl9z1o_rGrIKIlSj3mTp5AjjSDRcOLhT8n9b1c&dib_tag=se&keywords=chalk%2Bpastels&qid=1724323720&sprefix=chalk%2Bpaste%2Caps%2C115&sr=8-23&th=1

nick a couple of the letters from P YMO TH and put holes in place.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

I thought of that too, but it was after I already had it glued in place and I was afraid of messing up something else trying to man handle it. But next time for sure.
