Awesomeness… Now in Model Form.

By Jeff Glucker Apr 6, 2010

Earlier this year we presented the wonderful work of Michael Paul Smith. His pieces are elaborate and amazing. They are also incredibly clean. What if you are a car nut who is more attracted to greasy grime and rust instead of gleaming chrome and polish? Well get ready to be astounded…again.
May I present to you the amazing clunk bucket models from Wolfie’s Speed and Drag Shop!

Apparently this Wolfie character appreciates the dirtier side of the automotive world and we are thankful for that.. His little works of art depict classic machines in various states of disrepair. I say various states, but I mean slightly different levels of destroyed…and they all look incredible.

If you get tired of staring at the endless array of mini broken dreams then Wolfie also offers a selection of drag models at the height of their glory.

Don’t you wish you could buy these to display in your garage/den/meth lab/trophy room? Well, Wolfie just became your new best friend

  1. That's just crazy. I can't get how he creates such realistic patina on what I assume are plastic models? Even if they're metal, they look like they've been sitting in a field rotting for years, it's incredible!

    1. I stared at them for hours last night trying to figure it out. I used to try and weather my models as a kid, and they always turned out looking like someone had held them over a lighter and painted them with dirt, which is basically what I did. .
      This guy has some serious skills, and if you go to his workbench page you can figure a few of them out… like grinding down the back side to thin out the "rust holes". Brilliant!
