hotrod192 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) all the hydraulic pipes have now been fitted i have wired and fitted all the lights,put the cab back together,made doors for it with handles and hand rails,opened up the rear window and masked off the windows ready for weathering,also made a grease gun and mounted it on the steps.all thats left to do now is weather the model and hide the wires then its up for sale. cant make up my mind should i heavilly weather this on or very light weathering?

Ghost Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I really like the way the bucket is weathered with the bare metal showing after the paint has worn off very realistic, can't wait until I receive mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
