Another scale model

I've been putting the finishing touches to another scale model today. I have a friend who is nuts about old Porsches and I didn't know what to get him for Christmas this year so I decided to build him a scale model of an old "barn find" restoration project.  The images aren't great as I used my iphone in the garage so poor lighting etc but you get the general idea. Ignore the other stuff in the background. I'll post another day maybe on here or my squidoo page about how I aged it etc. The tarpaulin was still wet when the pics were taken and so was a little transparent. The tarpaulin idea was inspired by "Cancars" on youtube.

Barn find Mercedes SL Gullwing for restoration. (1:18th scale:) )

I've just completed this model and diorama in 1/18th scale. It is an old Mercedes SL that I have made to look like an old wreck that has been abandoned years ago and is ready for restoration,

I upholstered the seats and then aged them to look like cracked leather, there is also tears in the leather with the stuffing of the seat peeking out. I created the rust on the car using a variety of tools, materials and paints. I'll be doing some more shortly so I'll try to take some progress shots and post a step by step guide if any one is interested.
