      Definitely the fake aging. Looks like this model was found on a coral riff next to the Titanic. My exact same 1/18 Burago diecast model from the early 80s is still in a pristine status. Ranges from 20 to 100 (the rip-offs) bucks on eBay.

    Love the way you Faith the aging process. Using the paint stripper and then rinsing it off before it had enough time to fully strip the paint off. Was excellent. Like the way you Wheels halfway off and messed up the front grill to make it look like it's been sitting out outside in a dirt for years. But why don't you just show us the whole process to begin with instead of trying faking all that stuff. We would like to see it from the beginning. You can still mess it all up if you want to would, we just like to see you do it. If we're not fools we know what you're doing

    finishing a hike in dead horse point state park when I saw a 1959 testarossa drive past me. It was a group of testarossa owners who meet every five years to drive their cars around a specific area. I went to look at the 59 testarossa and then the 57 testarossas started to arrive. one after the other. there were 6 or 7 in total. my favorite car and they were in immaculate condition. what a day.

    this is a RUclips relevant video (mostly in the sense so that people get a better gripe of what my mechanics can do, lol.)
    --
    the exhaust pipes didn't turn out too great, IMHO. pro tip: you've to straighten the wire before you work with it. you do so by bending one end and putting it into a vise and wrap the other end around a pair of pliers while simultaneously squeezing it by starting between the prongs.) then you use your whole bodyweight and lean back and hold the pliers like a handle of a waterski rope; when you now tug on the whole thing, it'll stretch some and become super straight at the same time. you cut the middle piece out et voilà, you've a perfect starting piece.
    --
    this video leaves out many steps; it remains a mystery how all the non-body parts where fixed/made.

    If more people restored things instead of just replacing them with new ones we’d have less waste on our planet. I love thrifting, it’s a fun way to re-use and I love restoring little things that I can at home. There were so many well made things and people took the time to fix them and take care of them, now everything (mostly) is so cheaply made and thrown away.

    It's of course beautiful, but the "weathered" version was awesome.
