tiking Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Been building and weathering this little guy, for a diorama I am presently working on. I used the sponge technique for the chipped areas as well as a sharp X-to hobby knife. I used light dust, and dark brown colors from Citadel.

Straightliner59 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) That's very cool! Excellent paint effects. I will refer to your photos as I work on my current project. If you only knew my history with forklifts! A shin meeting the tip of a fork, on a cold winter day? Way too many times!

vincen47 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Excellent! Your weathering is superb. This is a perfect example of the ordinary, mundane, and otherwise unnoticed equipment in our world that makes for an extraordinary, unique, and intriguing build. Thanks for posting!

espo Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Very realistic looking. I also notice the wood pallet that looks perfectly in place with the Forklift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 That fork looks like it operated in a very dusty environment. Or a concrete plant. Good job. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
