Has anybody tried the 'rat' look on a model?

Read somewhere that if you put sugar on the a model when its bare metal for a little while (few days), it will rust perfectly just like the Vdubs. Is this true?

Here it is bonnet glued down because the engine wont fit because the wheels r 2 wide plus if the engine did fit the wheels would be showing anyway when the bonnet would be lifted lol but there is a tvr engine in the back but cause the boot dont open u cant really see it. I put a strip across the bonnet so some fast car mags could slide in for shows they are the rat 1s to lol. the rust look is some tin paint gone hard also made roof rack out of loly pop sticks lol.

Either as a pair or even on their own,i can imagine its hard to part with them as you have spent so long doing them,even if sunstar did a s1 it wouldn't be the quality of yours
