Some excellent work. The dozer really pops.

Great work!!

Martyn,

That was well worth the wait mate.

[Wookie2486]

Thankyou Paul I just need to figure out the securing points on the Dozer to secure it to the trailer.

Scottie I'm due to start the weathering in a couple of days. I think I read on your thread that you give the entire model a layer of clear before you start weathering ?

Yes mate I do, it seals the paint below and allows the weathering to be "moved" around rather than soak into the matt surface. I tend to use home made washes using oil and thinners and this system works for me. I'm sure the other guys have their own ways.

I mix my own as well....I seal with flat clear and then reseal again when done weathering.......as Scottie says just a personal preference. You have done a beautiful job so far Marty....keep it up . Rick H. :thumb2:

I don't normally do that but I'm gonna give it a try i have the Windsor and newton Matt varnish would that be ok to use and do you think i can airbrush it

Yes, and yes! Give it a really good mix (I just shake it) or it won't be very matt. It doesn't need thinning for airbrushing.

Hi Marty
That looks superb. It may have taken a couple of years but there's a lot of model there. Equivalent to a few smaller, less complex kits. I look forward to the weathering.

Pete, thankyou for the information I will give it a go. I'm just painting the lights and reflectors on the trailer and tractor then I am gonna spray the varnish.

Jim thankyou it is a little bit of a labour of love at the moment. it has come out a bit better than my 1st attempt I did about 12 years ago

It's been over a year since I posted anything, even with Covid going on it's been a really busy period for me with deployments to Lithuania and exercises going on and then to top it off I lost my mojo for quite sometime. I have finally managed to complete the interior of the dragon wagon and I thought I would show it to you guys before I button it up.
I hope you like what I have done.

Marty

Great interior detailing Martyn, I love it!

Jim.

[Wookie2486]

Well I have put the varnish on I have to admit I am quite shocked how quick it has dried sorry many thanks for that advice from those that gave it.

Jim thank you for the awesome comments.

Hopefully I can start the weathering once the kids and the wife have gone to bed.
