Sasquatch86 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Rebuilt this old diamond reo a couple months ago. Tried to give it the look that it's worn, but still being kept on the road earning it's keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfmanJedd Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) That looks great! What sort of weathering method did you use on the tires, if I can ask? Edited January 3, 2018 by WolfmanJedd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! It's oil paint thinned down with mineral spirits. You can apply it many different thicknesses to simulate different types of mud and dirt.

Thank you man! I'm still trying to figure out exactly how to use the forum so just getting the one picture was a victory. Here's a could of before and after shots. I don't have any of it completely finished yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
