Mirror Models Bulldozer.

Hi Andy
Looking good. Also looks very, very fragile.
Jim

Thanks Jim, some parts of the model are indeed very fragile and need care when handling but on the whole it's an OK model, not for the first timer but a good, challenging build. It is the first Mirror Models kit I have built and I have another kit in the stash and I will have no trouble buying more from them.

I have been playing with a new pigment that came in the post today, tried it out on the tracks which I have painted with my own dark rust mixture.
Before pic, sorry it's the underside but I forgot to take one of the top.

After, top and underside.

I think it gives a good look to the track chains as well, probably not for armour but tractors working in dry conditions have shiny track chains.

Tried it out on the blade as well.

All in all, I am happy with the results so far and we shall see what it's like with some other pigments on top.

The dozer is slowly taking shape, not too much construction to do now, waiting for some fine wire to come in the post, hopefully tomorrow.

Then I can start to throw some dirt on it.

I save all the end stubs from lamp wires they are nice and fine. I twist three strands up to make a thin cable then take three of those twisted the opposite way to make the finished cable.
Want thicker cables use more single stands for the first wire.
Love the look of this. Have built a few MM kits and they look great when done if a bit over the top on parts.

Hi Andy, enjoying seeing your bulldozer coming together, as fiddly & fragile as it is, the paintwork looks really good, just like an old bulldozer does.
