anarximis Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I went to school to operate heavy equipment and with wheel loaders the bucket is the hardest to weather to look real from what ive seen an this is really really close depending on how you want it to look and how well used you want it grease points are a big wear and tear the equipment I ran was by no means top of the line but you could definitely tell which piece of equipment had been miss treated and not maintained correctly.

mackd Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Steven, when I do the weathering on the loader I'll give it a look of loader working in a career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackd Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Thank you Ken. For this kind of small loader me I prefer a bucket without teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Given the finished models that I have seen you complete so far, I'm literally on the edge of my seat waiting to see this one finished. It is already amazing, but I thought that about all of your models before you finished them. They just got better! I'm sure this one will be no different.
