Models of rusted cars

Classic Wrecks: The Rusted Car as Art from Etsy on Vimeo.

Eric Beug is a video producer at Etsy. He says:

We've just published a 4-minute video about John Findra's love of classic cars and his creative expression through affectionately reproducing the rusty beauty of abandoned automobiles through scale models. Findra's under-hauled model cars are the culmination of years of striving for made-man perfection only to find perfection in nature more rewarding.

Putting battle scars on models of military vehicles (and Star Wars ships and the like) is pretty common, and if done right looks really cool. This, however, is several notches above that and is really quite awesome.
