Most excellent tweakings Scottie, looking the business and so very neat and tidy :thumb2:

Si too kind.

Hi Scottie
You're going the extra mile on this. Extending your skills and the superb results make it all worth while.

Jim, that is the fun of doing an "older kit"

Tremendous detail work Paul.

Andy.

Andy, thanks mate.

Stunning work Paul..loving the detail on that bed

Thanks Joe, I had to do a new one as the kit one was awful.

Paul, simply awesome mate. :smiling3:

Bob, thank you mate.

The base colour has been sprayed using VJ dark yellow. The load deck was prepainted with various browns then sprayed with hair spray prior to the yellow top coat. Next the cammo stripes were added using dark green. This was then all sealed with a gloss top coat ready for the next stage.





cheers
Scottie

cheers John,
As it turned out I needn't of bothered as most of it can't be seen as you will see from the following WIP pictures.

[scottie3158]

hello all,
The decals have been applied. Dot washes have been applied as well as a pin wash.



just noticed some fluff I will remove that later.

the exhaust received various coats of red acrylic and and pigments then it was dabbed with a sponge with dark yellow to try and show some surviving paint, not easy to see in the picture.



the underside received some dusting with various pigments. I didn't want it muddy just a bit of accumulated dirt.



the running gear was detailed and the steel rims polished with a lead pencil final some dirt.



Next a load was added.



Tomorrow I will make a start on the tracks.

comments welcome both good and bad.

Cheers
Scottie

Nothing bad there Scottie.....I'd say you have nailed it! And it is my kind of "Dirty"......not too much but just enough to show that it has been out and about. :thumb2: Rick H.

What do you use for rope? Looks very realistic.
