One of my many projects. This is the Italeri Opel Blitz....Im going to put it in a winter dio...yet to be determined...What I have tried to do here is give the look of the interior windows and windshield frosted up..Those from the north will know this all to well. Did I manage?

That looks pretty realistic, John. Just like the stuff I scraped this morning. Frost forms on the outside and on the whole vehicle . If you can get this look for the entire truck that would look fantastic, really portray the winter chills.

Burrr, looks right. How did you achieve the frost John. That reminds me, better get the credit card out

Very nice effect there Mr Parts . Are you going to tell us how you did it .They look like real ice crystals , did you just stick the cab in the fridge ? :-) :-) :-) :-) However you did it ,it looks really authentic Jenny

That really looks.. real!
Now we're waiting to hear how did you do this Thanks in advance

It looks good john, I'm getting cold looking at it. Please, tell us how you did it!

It was actually very easy. First brushed on a layer of liqued cement. Then lightly sprinkled on Woodland Scenics snow. Right away blew off the excess..I didnt want it too thick. I waited a couple minutes and brushed on a layer of future. Thats it...very easy and a realistic look.

Excuse me Mr parts I am only a blonde , what is future ????

Future..here in the states as its called..is a clear acrylic floor finish made by Johnson. Beauty of it is..no need to thin it for airbrush and also brushes on nicely. It has a very glossy finish to it.

Looks good John.....
I guess a winter setting is coming up?

I believe down OZ.... the Future is called Kleer.....

Looks great mate
Ive still gotta find myself some Kleer
oh right, this is the rivet review board, hmm ok then...
Your opel blitz is yellow, why? :-)
Cheers

Hi there John.
The frost looks really nice!
I will agree with the others also!
You should try and create the frost to the whole truck cause the wet-frosty look in the morning is taking place to the whole car!
Also the yellow colour of the Opel looks very clean and very fake!!
I suppose there's more work to be done on it right?
Anyway it's really great trick and i thank you for sharing your skills!!
Cheers and good luck for the rest!

Looks like what the wind shield of my car looks like every damned morning! In other words - very realistic.

i agree... put little frosty sparkles on the entire vehicle - a clear, transluscent fine grain glitter (found in greeting card making section of craft store- or look for Stampin' Up brand on ebay) would be great here, because you still need the color of the vehicle to show through.

Thanks all..I do still have a long way to go..vehicle has not been painted and Im hopeing to frost it all up..icicles and all.

John, sorry about getting into this one a little late, but to answer your question, Yes you managed

Very very realistic, -- I almost reached for the scraper which we all carry in our cars up here

This is nice work.
