Make it Dirty

Completed October 2021

This commission started out as a pristine diecast van. To be precise: A Fiat - 242 Team Martini Racing Rally Assistance van from 1983 by IXO-models. The commission: make it dirty and add some accessories. Lovely job and right up my alley!

I did some research to see what accessories I could make. Immediately I saw that the supplied tool boxes were really bad.  Also, the jerry cans needed to be replaced. The rest looked fine. 
So I 3D printed some jerry cans, and he asked a buddy of his to print two toolboxes using a filament printer. (Resin would have been too expensive). Then I set about painting them and weathering the van, taking extra care not to make it too symmetrical, or uniform.

Not much else to say, other than he was very pleased with the end result.
