Cheshire Farm Models Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Now we all know I'm very fussy about my weathering so tackling this very expensive converted mixtec tanker was a massive labour intensive job, but it came out how I wanted it. Not too heavy and not too light. Hope yous all like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Grand job on the weathering Sam, it looks just right, nice touch with the clump of sod on the mudguard and the dripping slurry from the splash plate. Did you do the conversion work on the tanker? Those artisan wheels always make such a difference over the original ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Martin, I think Ive done that much tanking I already had it in my head how I wanted the spreader to look once weathered! I'm glad you picked up on them areas as to me that's what creates the realism. I didn't do the conversion mate I bought it 50 quid, wasnt too bad but it needed some TLC I made the splash plate and cut out some wheel centres for it as they'd just been drilled right through. It was a shame as they are them nice artisan wheels as you say. So I managed to save them. But the main work is to a good standard I think it's just been knocked about with its previous owner. The 7810 is one of my favourites it's got that oem plus look. Which isnt like a young farmer got his dads 6 pot Ford and caked it with CB whips, beacons and grassmen decals ha ha!.
