As both a radio control freak and static modeler, I think that body looks terrific! I just hope you were going for a "Road Warrior" theme with that head hanging out the window.
basically everwhere there is rust i used a dremil to erode away some of the body, so when you look at it it looks like part of the body rusted away. then i used varius concentrations of tamiya rust paint with differnt levels of flat black mixed in to give differnt stages of rust look on the body. i actually looked up a real suburu brat owners website so i could see where rust would really affect the "real" vehicles, that really helped alot.
not at all bro, i kind of mixed and match my own stuff, maybe it would have been easier your way.look up "brand new tamiya subaru brat" and you can watch it in high quality and see more detail.
brats of this year have a gold color rim so i used tamiya crome paint and i kept mixing orange in 1 drop at a time until i was happy with the outcome. then i rusted up the bolts in the rim.
holy crap.. I've never seen any RC with detail like this and I'm currently working on a Bruiser project. I love the aging appearance. I bought a 2008 repro-bruiser and I won a 1983 tamiya toyota pickup stepside bed (rear body shell) on eBay, I plan on making this bruiser project to look old, I plan on keeping the bed I bought with it's beat-up look and I planned on painting different "panels" different colors on the cab, that simulation-rust is amazing. I think you just inspired me :P good work
