tiking Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I was given this new LM 841 to weather for a friend of mine, Rickard Algotsson. I decided to give this 1:50 scale model a go. It's a beautiful model with great details. Surprisingly enough, it is not made completely out of metal but the body part is mostly plastic. The arm connectors and joints, and all the small details are made from metal. An amazing piece, I must say. The only addition in respect to details is the antenna.I painted the hydraulic coupling ends silver to give the appearance of actual couplings and painted the exhaust stack, silver as well. I weathered the folks using a combination of rust, smoke to make the forks look rusty, like most of the reference photos I saw. For the rest of the model I used the sponge technique, very carefully, all over the model. As this was a 1:50 scale, I had to try and control my hand movements as this was a smaller scale compared to what I was used to. The results is what you see. I've posted the original model, before weathering, and photos after the weathering was completed. I think, with the great details the model has already, I've managed to enhance them, making them pop even more.

CX820Joe Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 That is amazing! Farmer I used to live by had one of those (and a bigger one which he still uses) and used it for loading muck at the ABP place, and loading flat 8 bales. Great little machine. Is it a hand built model? The weathering is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sells for about 150 Euros. 10 hours ago, Ferret90 said: Stunning job mate Thank you kindly. 7 hours ago, SPN said: That is superb. Would love one in 1:32 for 1970s silage crew Yep. I mentioned to the owner that it would be nice to have one in 1/35 and 1/24 scale. He said, he couldn't promise anything, but he will take it into consideration.

GPS Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Very impressive work Tiking. As a plastic modeller myself, I have seen much of your other work on the various model forums and it’s truly outstanding. You should post some of your truck models on here too!

Appreciate your support. Thank you. I thought this board was only for Farm and possibly construction models? Where can I post 1/24 truck models?

GPS Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Hi Tiking. Yes this site is farm and construction models, but you will also see a few trucks! But I have also seen other construction models from you. Others on here may have other suggestions, but I would start a general post under the “my collection “ topic called “Tikings collection “ or something similar. Any mods please shout up if you think this is wrong! Many on here do build diaramas and / or weather their models. I think some your work could provide inspiration.
