Spanjaardi was just having a look again, and saw the springs coming out of the sea... fantastic detail 🙂

Bassam MansourWaow, thank you Spanjaard, thank you Patrick, thank you Rui, thank you all.
I'm sorry that I don't log-in often but it is really adorable to see your comments.
The kit was so easy to build, I've had to bend few parts and scratch the sides with the knife first and make the holes on the plastic body. I've started with the interior and painted primer black then on the primer before complete drying, used toilets paper: I've had to split the paper pieces so I've a very thin layer to adhere to the primed surfaces; Had to make many holes in the seats and create spring with very fine electric wire, cotton effect with toilets paper 🙂 and finally dry brush with white.
For the external, the painting went through many layers and the use of SALT technique. The 1st layer was the Dark rust, after priming with BLACK. then Red layer with Salt technique: spraying water on desired areas with a brush then adding salt, salt adhere with water and I wait to start drying then spray the color. Some pieces of salt fly away due to air from the airbrush but it's not a big issue.
After drying, I used another layer of Dark Rust with salt technique; and so on until I see the final result of a complete rusted body (used many layers of different rusting colors with the salt technique)
After the body is fully rusted (mix between dark, medium and new rust colors) I've sprayed the original color of the car (I've prefered white to make the contrast between colors) which was sprayed only ONE layer also with slat technique.
Last step was weathering and washing to make the effect of rain and time on the rust.
I hope my english was satisfying and clear to you my friends 😄
Building took me three days, painting took me two weeks 😄 😄
Kind regards

Patrick HagelsteinWow! That's a real quick build than, considering all the work involved in detailing all that damage. I'm not surprised by two weeks of painting though! 😄 Looks really natural! 👍
