Thanks its really turning into the build I hoped for 1 hour ago, Pete68 said: Your sprinting to the finish line with a nice looking truck great scratch work too. Haha sprinting! Gotta sneak up on the dirt bath..I always get anxious about adding the crud layers after months of detail painting..but its a mixer and they're always dirty lol 1
gotnitro? Posted October 23, 2021 Author Posted October 23, 2021 Today I started adding the cement crud around the mixer . Using concrete patcher powder w water works okay..would rather use the bag mix stuff . Ill wipe off the excess , then add the few decals , then spray a dull sealer . Getting to the point of wanting this done , the squirrels are starting to find other projects for me ...sounds like another snow mover !
Mopar - D Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 Getting closer Jeff did you get any before pictures of the truck showing it as day one nice and shiny? Nice progress on your cement curd application.
gotnitro? Posted October 24, 2021 Author Posted October 24, 2021 Weird the only photos I took before making a complete mess..usually I take dozens lol The clean side before adding the brockway hood emblems . And the intake plumbing done before vmf clamps were attached The crud definitely looks awful, but cleans off leaving a cool dusty vibe . I'm not planning a trashed out mixer , more of the usual dust and concrete droppings building up on a working truck
gotnitro? Posted October 24, 2021 Author Posted October 24, 2021 I really wanted to accent the weld lines on barrel drum, and show off a few details w a concrete " wash" . Thinking about it now..spraying a matt finish before the bird attack would've reduced a step.
gotnitro? Posted November 6, 2021 Author Posted November 6, 2021 The mixer is finished ! I added a few details , mud flaps w logos on computer paper then snapped some photos Enjoy ladder braces were added I forgot about earlier Extra chutes w a flash rusting ..just mig powders over steel paint for effect Thanks to everyone following my build Jeff

Thanks, these trucks really got worked but the drivers took care to maintain them . Ill probably add a dump truck of their fleet someway
