Model T ambulance build – Part 9:Weathering (oil, fuel and wet stains)

3/29/2018

A dilute mixture of Winsor & Newton “Raw Umber” in enamel thinners was flicked from a brush onto various parts of the vehicle, to represent damper patches.
This was repeated using a mixture of Winsor & Newton “Burnt Umber” in enamel thinners.
Abteilung 502 “Engine Grease” (ABT160) oil paint and Humbrol “Gloss Cote” was mixed in a small amount of enamel thinners. The resulting thick mixture was painted onto parts of the drive shaft and the engine.
Abteilung 502 “Bitumen” (ABT004) oil paint and Humbrol “Gloss Cote” was mixed in enamel thinners and flicked onto various parts of the vehicle, to add further damp stains.
AMMO “European mixture dry leaves” (A.MIG-8410) were glued onto various parts of the cab floor, engine area and horizontal sides, although it is quite hard to discern them amongst the similarly coloured dirt!
Finally, I put a bag and folder up map on the seat.
