Wyandotte Front Shovel

I bought this thing in pieces about twenty five years ago. They had it in grey primer but the metal was pitted some so I layered a heavy coat of primer filler on it. Now lots of sanding.

Thanks,

This is the large scale like the old Tonka trucks. The Body is about 8 inches long.

I had some issues again with the Testors Model Master spray cans, this time the yellow. It seams the paint puddles up around the nozzle then splats it onto the surface. I tried wiping the nozzle every few seconds but that didn't help. I swapped the nozzle with one from a cheap 99 cent spay can and it sprayed perfect. In fact a very fine mist. The blue sprayed just fine.

I'm wondering if Testors changed nozzles along the way or I just got few bad ones???

Here is the cab in yellow, with a few paint splatters.

I have used automotive paint but not the Vallejo. I was looking into it for detailing paints.

I have not had any issues with the Model Masters before ... well other than it seeping out of the cans,lol

Anyway, I did get it finished up, ready for the construction site. The blue is lighter than the original but it's what I had. I did not spray clear coat on this one as that would have made it too shinny for a 1930's toy.

Thank you, Thomas. It was a quick fun project.
