Seems as it's raining and blowing a gale out there and I'm stuck in the house I thought I'd start 'stuck in the mud'

I got my 1:18th display case and decided to use that as a base. Under carriage came off the machine and it will sit like this.



I got the foam board out and knocked up a rough template which will get covered in a Dust/PVA mix. I will build it up slowly, probably add some vegetation and some bucket teeth claw marks!

The machine will need a good weathering! Will post more photos as it comes along.

A bit more done this morning. Excavator added and realistic water added.

Just need to let that cure, weather the bucket and patch up the mud where it's come away.

Thanks Jeremy. that woodlands scenics realistic water is good stuff.

Still got the bucket to weather and patch up the mud on the edges where the masking tape pulled it off.

Following on from my build in progress threat this is now finished.

These are not the best photos, I will get more at the weekend.

Dave's in a world of trouble for getting it stuck!

How did you create the water effect?

Jeremy

I used Woodland Scenics realistic water.

It's the 1st time I've used t and it's pretty good stuff.

Must say it certainly looks the part.

Talking of models and model men..........I haven't seen anything on here from Martyn Henley for a while. Is he (or are you Martyn) OK?

I popped over to the outskirts of Maidstone to see him last summer, he was working on a very nice Hymac 880, A good friend of mine has got several of Martyns model in Metal JCB 2D, 3D, 4D, 4C, 700 Loading Shovel, 81 3cx Sitemaster, and Whitlock 370, i actually saw them last week and they are really nice models.
