Welcome back to another video and something a little different from my usual fare.
When Agora Models contacted me offering to make one of their fantastic large scale kits, I had to say constructing such a thing, although interesting, wouldn’t really be feasible for me. So we agreed that I could instead paint a pre-built test shot of the model, in my own style.
This is their amazing and very impressive large-scale (1/8th) replica of the Super Snake Mustang 550GT - a one-off car used to test a brand of tyres for an advertising campaign in the 1960s (agoramodels.com/1967-shelby-mustang-super-snake/).
You should be aware that I love recreating ratty old cars, as well as military subjects, so I decided to give this vehicle a unique look.
In this ongoing occasional series, I will be taking the car apart and then giving it a battered patina and paint job. In this second part I do the following:
- Continue adding rust and faded paint effects
- Replicating damage using power tools
- And, finally, customising the model using Zero Paints, reproducing lacquer peel and adding home-made race numbers.

Chapter Markers
00:00 Start
00:10 Recap, damage and primer effects
01:15 Additional rust effects
02:05 Sealing with Klear
02:22 Inflicting Damage
03:17 A new contraption and additional rust effects
04:20 Scenic Rust by Deluxe Materials
06:51 Mottled gauze technique
07:17 Zero Paints Green salvaged doors
08:15 Recreating peeling lacquer
09:33 Race numbers backgrounds using Artool Ultramask and markings
12:11 Applying number masks
13:20 Damaging paint layers
14:58 Shots of progress so far including new race numbers
15:23 Ends
I should say this gorgeous models is a construction kit mainly made by screw together construction and it would cost around £1000 to buy, depending on which formula you go for. Needless to say, I might not have been quite so bold with the angle grinder if I had painstakingly built this myself!
These videos don’t really get as many views as others, in fact the last Mustang one tanked, but I don’t really care as I enjoy changing things up and don’t want to be a slave to the algorithm. I prefer to output the projects and videos that I want to. At least, that has been my mantra so far for some time!
Thanks to Agora Models for supplying this sample (a test shot prototype) of their Super Snake Mustang in 1/8th scale, see agoramodels.com for more information.
Enjoy!
