- I've been wanting to do a rusty barn find type build for a while and decided on this 1940 Ford Coupe. The kit went together very well with a little clean up and has a lot of performance parts left over.
This isn't how I did models back in the 60's. New models look killer. Keep making the hobby better.
That's for sure, we didn't have the different glues or paints or access to all the online information available now. Also nice that others can see our builds, thanks for checking the video and commenting.
I wish I could press 'like' again,Steve. I think you've made such a good model from this kit👍😎
Thanks Pete, it's a great kit and doing it weathered is a lot less stressful and more fun.
Great job Steve, Your weathering is spot on, perfect for a barn find.
Thanks Mike, I enjoy doing rusty weathering, less stress and more fun, harder to make a mistake. 🙂
GREAT VIDEO AND A GREAT BUILD. THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked the video.
Love this build! Crusty & rusty is the way to go. Really like the holes from where the chrome trim was attached. Well done! Stay safe & take care.

Thanks Tom, I try to think of more details to add to the realism.
Outta the pahk , Mr. M. Epic build !! The weathering is spot on. Brilliant work. 👍
Thanks Charlie, they are fun to do and less stress, that's probably why it went together so well. lol.
Great barn find! The weathering looks great 👍 Excellent build!!
Thanks Mike, I enjoy doing the rusty look builds.
GREAT JOB on the patina
Thanks, I like experimenting with the weathering now and then, it's more fun and less stress.
Absolutely amazing job of weathering Steve excellent "barn find".....KA
Thanks Kerry, it's fun to see the rust take shape. 🙂
Love the patina!!!!! Awesome Work!!!!
Thanks Mike.
Wow great weathering job but, I'm really impressed with the way you carved up that moldy chunk of cheese into convincing 1:25 scale interior.
Ha, thanks for the comment.
That is so cool, I would of never thought to do something like that not that I could do the amazing job you did. Great work I love it!
Thanks so much for the comment. Doing the rusty finish is actually easier than doing a shiny finish. There are a few different techniques but really no wrong way, give it a try. 🙂
awesome build Steve
Thanks Gary, they are fun to do for a change.
Steve that is some great weathering techniques and it looks great brother!
Thanks Shawn, it's fun to do and less stress.
WOW!! Great work Steve!! That really looks real!! Excellent detail!!!
Thanks Oron, I really enjoy making the older cars look rusty and I don't have to worry about making a mistake. 😊
Just picked up one of these boxings. Great job! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for the comment, it's a great kit and I like the body style. I'd like to find another one. Enjoy your kit.
This is phenomenal Steve! really out did you self with the weathering, the multi color body panels and the removed trim with the mounting holes drilled out! LOL I know for a fact the end slate joke is true!!
Thanks for the kind words Bryan, I hope you aren't referring to personal experience with lawyers.
@@ModelCarMinion very welcome Steve, unfortunately yes. My parents had to deal with a shifty cars sales lot once.
Great looking barn find Steve. Nice work.
Thanks Rick, the body style seemed to call for the weathering.
Great build, Steve 👍🤩. Your 40 is brilliant, such good ideas👍🤩Thanks for showing and best wishes from jolly old England 👍😎Pete 🤓
Thanks Pete, glad you like it, they are fun to do and no worries about fit issues. Hope to see you try a rusty build some time.
@@ModelCarMinion It's funny Steve 🤩. A few months ago, I started on what was going to be a rustified 40 and cut the floor out of one. Then that big American group build started, so I dropped the project and started on the Dick Shelby 36 instead😁
@@petesmodelcarcustoms584 So many builds, so little time. 🙂
That's awesome Steve
Thanks Tom, less stress doing weathering. 🙂
Nice work Steve, the weathering looks great!
Thanks Jeff, it's a good effect and easy enough to do.
That turned out great hit looks awesome nicely done
Thanks Butch, the effect is good and it's relatively easy to do.
Man, that's a good looking 40 coupe. I really like how you did the weathering. I picked this kit up at the local hobby shop last summer. You've got me itchin to drag mine out now ☺
Why not give it a go? It actually goes together very well.
Haha....I'm looking at it right now but I got a few others in front of it.
I really liked it in the burnt orange before the weathering 👍 I'm doing a build and am going with TS58 Pearl Blue and a silver interior and burnt red and for the motors 👍
Sounds like a cool colour combination, hope to see some updates on your build.
Looks awesome…. Build on 👍
Thanks Dwayne, already started on my small scale group build kit. 🙂
Awesome Steve!! Thanks for sending me the link to check this one out!!
Glad you like it, hope it gives you some inspiration.
@@ModelCarMinion Yes it does thank you!
Real nice Steve👌👍
Thanks Paul.
That turned out really good, Steve! Or should I say really bad? Great work on building a forgotten 40 Ford. Excellent weathering.

Thanks John, they are fun to do and adds a lot of character to the car.

Thanks Sean, I think doing the rust makes the build easier and more interesting.

Absolutely love it! 😳😲😎👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the comment, I think the weathering adds a lot more character to the build.
@@ModelCarMinion , totally agree!
Inspiring work, need to get a couple and try it myself....maybe that'll help me get my mojo back! 😁😎
@@Duececoupe You can't really go wrong, the amount of wear and rust is totally up to you.
What an Amazing build Steve !! Looks so realistic, a true barn find
Thanks Monty, I appreciate it. I find rusty builds are more fun to do.
Cool!!!
Thanks, I find doing the rusty and weathered builds more fun and less stressful.
