Thanks Kerry ! I'm really having fun building a dirty truck. About had a panic attack whe I mixed alcohol w the powders , and it looked ruined. Luckily I had sealed the top coat w dullcoat, and the alcohol didnt attack the color

Looks great !!!

More work on the kw. I needed to replace the kit glass w takeout container plastic , looks more to scale . While I was screwing with the cab, I fashioned a visor from aluminum sheet time for dust ! Using a tamiya weathering pack and water i applied a thin wash around the edges of bumper and overall on the cab/ fenders. the bumper and cage need chipping, they look pretty new vs the deck lol

Way to go !!!! I hear ya on work stalling build time , I was called back also

Stunning work everywhere you look theres super details. Like the tip on the fluid levels , gotta try that

Ohhh..oops lol

Perfect stance and rockers look good . Really enjoying this build concept , totally believable

Looks good!! Nice work trimming out the cab too

Looks fantastic!!! Love that weedburner exhaust too Awesome work

Outstanding work as always ! Building parts from a photo and turning them into detailed pieces is stunning. Looking at the fine lines on your grill and fenders is remarkable

Awesome work really like the blended in tailgate

Absolutely beautiful work love watching artists paint The sun ray pattern is stunningly simple idea once seeing the masking , but takes a steady hand to accomplish well done

Huge improvement on those tires ! Now it will look like a real dump truck

Love that

I snuck it back into cabinet lol thanks Thanks Thanks ! Being back to work really slowed my bench time but stole a few minutes to hang fenders today . I used the round headlights from the kit

Oh yeah that's gonna be sick !!! That blazin black is gonna compliment the chrome box perfectly

In my case it's the lack of subject matter I'm interested in. I like different styles of trucks compared to every day road tractors , so scratchbuilding is my favorite

Scuff em w steel wool or scotch brite would be my choice . Brushing dullcoat over them would help too, but paint has a tendency to flake off the vinyl tires

Awesome build Tom ! Hopefully I'll get a chance to see all your current builds in person once they reopen the state

Yep that's water based

Wow functional lift gate too !!! Awesome work

Horray !!!! When we finally get together for the group photo I'll bring my squirrels home..they're gonna eat you out of house n home !!!!

Thanks , I'm very happy Oh yeah this truck wanted a monster engine

Nice Green Leaker Kerry !!!

My first attempt w salt weathering, and it was surprisingly easy. I wanted a heavily scuffed winch deck with multi paint layers . I started w red oxide primer, stippled water then dried w hair dryer ( thanks Tom for that tip) a few different color coats went over that then brushed off. The randomness showed thru after a couple times. Heres the results I'll add a few scratches once the deck is mounted on the frame which has started to receive some dust buildup
