Can it ever be repaired? Dodge Powerwagon

[zoobie]

... it is my first model shown in this messageboard and my first thread started in english language.

I just startet some tests about Modern Options Instant Rust and this former US Air Force Powerwagon was just good enough:











Too much to list but this junk car doesn't need any explanations, does it?

But one thing I should tell you about: The National Guard needed some parts after the Air Force rejected the Dodge. After extracting them, this old truck was hit by more than 50 rounds at the shooting range

Very Good. The Modern Options Instant Rust works well. What is it and who sells it? At first I doubted you about the bullet holes, but then I counted them and you are correct.

Sweet! Welcome to the board, zoobie! I always enjoy seeing your cars on mo87.de

Lovely weathering, will it end up in a diorama? And how about some glass splinters in the windows?

[zoobie]

Instant Rust contains of 2 components. Base coat with iron powder and an oxidation fluid (antiquing solution). In Germany, you can get it at www.architekturbedarf.de and some other online shops.
And: of course more than 50 is correct, I fired them all! ;D

This old Dodge endet on a junk yard for some short time (just for the photo shoot for my website). I plan to build a little vintage car museum but this will be a 5 year project at least... the power wagon might be one of the sceduled projects of the museum crew.

Tobias, Great effects on the Power Wagon. I especially like the rumpled fenders and bullet holes. Also a great job on the wooden bed.

Excellent weathering job there!!
That reminds me so much of being a kid and coming across the old cars and trucks abandoned in the gravel pits while riding our trailbikes.
Again, great job.

Really great looking rust. It seems that it is available in the US also. One source is: www.misterart.com/store/view/003/group_id/1702/Modern-Options-Antiquing-Solutions.htm

zoobie has a great website with more photos as well. The Dodge is placed in a diorama, being trailered by another Power Wagon.

Also there is a lovely Chevrolet Corsa Station Wagon conversion in the Opel gallery.

Great looking...well...uh...maybe not, but nicely weahered and detailed Power Wagon. It's funny you posted this as I'm currently doing the same treatment to a PW I bought for parts a week ago. I'll post pictures later.

Welcome to this forum. I've enjoyed yours for many years.
