Rich Ghia Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 This has been a labour of love over a number of years. I built the rig about 10 years ago and just displayed this on the bookcase. I purchased the trailer with the idea of putting some heavy payloads on the back but never found the right vehicle in the right scale and then two kids happened. It's been in a box for years but since lockdown I've picked the kits back up again. I discovered that AMT had re-released the bulldozer in 1/24 scale and knew it had a place to go. This is my first real attempt at weathering and I'm pretty happy with the results. Also added on a Ford F250 as a back load. I just wish I had a better camera as I could only take these in the garden so have put a few effects the make them look a little more realistic.
signguy2108 Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 Good job, looks like u nailed it! Bet the dozer was a nightmare to load without the track...
Oldcarfan27 Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 I feel sad for the pickup truck, it looks like it's on it's way to it's final resting place.

pegaso Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 Immpressive big rig. It seems it comes really from the "rust valley" ;-)))
Rich Ghia Posted January 14, 2021 Author Posted January 14, 2021 Thanks for all the nice words! It's final resting place is on the top of the wardrobe as my wife wanted it out the kitchen!!
gotnitro? Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 Nicely done ! Serious amount of detail weathering to tie the scene together in harmony and you nailed it
doorsovdoon Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 Man, that looks good. I love all the detailing, and especially the sleeper box! I hope he turned the gas off on the stove before that TV fell on it!
