Diamond Reo Logger

[guitarsam326]

So this is a first for me. I've never used weathering powders this extensively, I picked up a rather large amount of AIM weathering powders (don't think they're in business anymore?) from a local hobby shop, and got them for half price to beat all! I just wanted some feedback on the weathering, is it too much, too little? I'm going for the brand new truck who was recently put to work, recently means the early 70's but ya'll get the idea. anyways, all criticism welcome and thanks in advance for the feedback.

Looks good to me man! Is this a Western Star with D Reo hood, or a Reo with Western Star tanks and batt box?

I think the weathering looks great. Nice work

I like it ! Looks just like the real ones I see rumble by everyday. Really nice work !

One thing I did notice today is the mud on the trailers starts topside and runs down from where the logs are being placed. Had a zebra stripe effect , I wish I could of gotten a picture.

thanks man, I haven't started to weather the trailer yet, I know it wont be quite as harsh as the truck, still wondering what I could add that would look like bark and such
