Ford 7810 cab weathering.


Recommended Posts

Great job Sam. Love the torn seat effect although it would frustrate me if I saw the real tractor looking like that. Thinking about adding doing something similar and have one looking like a restoration project. Ill have to do a bit of research as there are a few topics on here about weathering.

very realistic Sam, looks like it would take me a day to sort the inside of that cab out! :D

It looks like my dad has spent a day in it, I don't know how he does it but he can be in a tractor for 5 mins and have it looking like a pigsty. Think I need to install some boot wash areas around the yard.

I have a brother who can do the same, in fact he's banned from any of my tractors, even in a drought he can find clarts to drag into the cab, and don't even get me started on cow **** .........!:D

Cheers fellas. Yeah I have a problem with torn seats too ha ha!. Would only take you a few seconds on this model John :) My 590 had a absolutely dogged seat but the rest was tidy so I had to have it retrimmed. #OCD, weathering is great Martin but it can make or break a model. I’ve been weathering models for around 3-4 years now I originally just did weathered tractors when I first took over CFM from my dad. I do balled tyres too they always go down a treat ;)  My favourite model I’ve done is this 7810. I rubbed the decal away too like the real thing, some work in it but I was chuffed with the results.

Cheers bud !! Ahah deal with it ;) there are plenty of rough farmers ha ha!. I’m not one though mate !! 

It's strange, I've said this before but I do like weathered models as I think they look much more realistic, bit I like my real gear clean and shiny and would hate it to look weathered:D

I’m exactly the same ! As we were discussing the other day with the Sanderson. I think you must see all the work that goes in it and think you want it shiny and new. I made 13 flat 8s and struggled to weather just one ! And I actually repainted that after toytrac haha. I don’t mind weathering uh tractors for example even though there pricey it just doesn’t bother me.

Inside the old ford 7810 silver jubilee. A sorry real site it was a real machine ! But an appealing site to the 1/32 scale collector. I can weather any model to order. 

Cheers, hope you all like it!

Great work on the weathering, very realistic. 

Do you have any photo of the rest of this tractor on the outside? 

Im sure it's in a sorry state if the inside looks like that. ha ha!

Looking into weathering myself now, do you use store bought powder? 

I saw a tip regarding the use of chalks in stead, grinding them down to pigments (would be a lot cheaper). As for the solvent I've seen in use I get a bit unsure as to what I need. Any tips would be appreciated!
