Mach1revo Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I have made some more progress on the Paystar. I have also tried my hand at weathering for the first time. I am trying to make it look like a working truck but with a proud owner who washes it regularly. Overall mockup shots with trailer which only needs minor detailing and weathering to be finished. Tried making the dash look like burlwood woodgrain. What do you think? weathered motor and tanks and dust and mud in interior Products i used for weathering I also played around with the kit front wheels and floats. I opened up all the holes on the wheels and lightly weather them. I may paint the hubs black to match the rears or i may use the Italeri wheels next to them in the shot. What do you guys think? Glass installed and rubber trim painted. Pipe weathered Thanks for looking. Any comments/suggestions are welcome
Jim B Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 You're logger looks really nice. I like the subtile weathering, and the details. That dash is really pretty (I didn't think I'd ever say that about a Paystar). Excellent job so far.
monkeyclaw Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Looks great....the paystar logger is one of MY all time favorite truck models....Good work.........Matt
Foxer Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Woos on the dash is right on. The weathering is done well ... just daily use.
freightshaker Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 that dashboard is spot on! and the weathering looks great. you're definitely on the right path to finish up a great build!
Leonidas Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Your Paystar is coming along very well. The colour combination is great and really matches the rig. Where'd you get the rear tires? Definately gives it that logger look!
Mach1revo Posted March 18, 2011 Author Posted March 18, 2011 The rear tires are the kit paystar tires. This truck started as a mixer and I added the stinger to the rear and left off the mixer parts on the front behind the bumper. Thanks.....Jay
Mach1revo Posted March 20, 2011 Author Posted March 20, 2011 I got some of the main assembly done over the weekend. All thats left are the wipers mud flaps, a few bits under the hood and final touchup. Thanks for all the comments! Jay
