little update on me tractor and box

Post #1 by davej » Sun Jan 18, 2009 10:18 pm

well.. seeing roly's belting pics of his gear i felt motivated to fish mine out of the pile and put it back together....

and as the the D155 its going behind is all mucky time for a trip to the weathering desk..

still needs a bit of work.. piping on the box and to the tractor, and wheels and draw bar need doing as well...

still fancy doing a D8R hi-drive, but it's waaaaaaay down the list

yeah, i've used the airbrush on these, for a bit of consistency between the two!

main colours were vallejo model air, rust and earth, i need to go back on blow a dusting of silver on the wear parts in the box

then some dustings of weathering powders, to add a bit of depth to it!
