Hm. I don't know what to write on that. It is too much shiny for a barnfind. I don't see a barnfind here. More it looks like it was pulled out of dirty water. On your other wheatherd kits you have showed, that you can make better.

I had hoped the spraying of dust would take the shine off, but it didn't quite make it. It's better in natural light but the photo lamps are quite strong. I'll have to spray a matt coat which I didn't do. Mind, this thing was built very very quickly. You know the old saying. Budget, Time, Quality: pick two.

I will remember or use your "advise" sometime: Budget, Time, Quality: pick two. I never heard. 😄 Adaptable on work too *lol*

Album info

Last week I randomly came across a Youtube video about this very subject. I thought it would be cool to have one in the cabinet, next to a really shiny one I built a while back. It was built over a weekend, as part of a weekend group build on another forum.

The first look was too shiny and not really barn find worthy. So I went back and improved it. The one picture of the clean car is from before the whole barn find thing, by the way. It's the unweathered build.
