MuirHillyBilly Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Hi there Bought this fella a few weeks ago and I felt it needed a little touching up so I got the paints out, probably will weather it too. So this is what it looked like; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuirHillyBilly Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 So I have painted the engine, the front hitch, front pto area, rear hitch connectors, side steps, diesel cap, wheel hubs in silver, wheel hub centres,wheel hub bolts in gold, top and bottom rear indicators, now he looks the part!

MuirHillyBilly Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Here's the beast weathered, wanted to give this one a light (ish) weathering as if it had only had a few days worth of use so concentrated on the tyres and mudguards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 It looks great! As an example the LCN model looks also much better whit the painted on details (also the weights in the wheels and the GPS on the roof ofcourse) . Are you also going to paint the dashboarda in the good colour? That realy finish´s it! Regards Johny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
