I weathered my 1st gear Komatsu D375.

Seeing as I could not get trackinks for love nor money for this I decided to weather it and sit it in a Dio broken down.

It's been there for a while!

I removed the paint off the blade and ripper and gave it a dust wash and added some real dust mixed in with the wash to give it some texture. It also got a bit of a rust wash here and there.

Here are the photos. I would welcome your comments.

Nice effect on the blade looks very realistic

Looks great Martin! Just needs some excess grease around the pins and it will look super realistic!

Excess grease on a dozer, pah, don't know many dozer drivers who even know where to find a grease gun!

Nice job tho' Martin

Cheers all.

Joe, I probably will stick a bit more dirty grease around the grease points and pins.

Excellent. Blade very good

Perhaps a slight damp stain around one of the rams and could you make the fitted track sag slightly?

Thanks for the comments peter. I will see what i can do with the saggy track!

New display case base done for the 375. Put some gravel down with track marks in and added some boulders and a pile of waste. Put a bit of grass in there with some gorse bushes in flower. As always there are some off cuts of conveyor laying around!
