I have had a go at weathering the chassis.


The colors i tried are rust black sand in differing quantitys but all dry brushed with a light coating of dark earth from a rattle can.


So any comments are welcome [ATTACH]114745.IPB[/ATTACH]

nice work on the engine,over all good progress,

[takeslousyphotos]

That is looking great Peter...... stinking job on the chassis. And the engine is looking very realistic for a workhorse truck.

Nice engine.

[Snowman]

Looking used, nice!!

Got some more work done, put the raidator and front fender on.


And i have tried my weathering stick on the steps and i have dried brushed silver over the chrome to dull it down a bit [ATTACH]114954.IPB[/ATTACH]
