Steve,
This is really looking good, the chipping is just right.

Excellent work.
Superb Steve, nice build and that bike looks very detailed :thumb2:
Hi Everyone
I went for your suggestion with the tammy paint Wouter on the hairspray. It was a lot better than the Vallejo practice sessions I had
Less is more as they say Scottie. I think there was enough hairspray chipping to keep the viewer interested
Thanks Jim. Hope you like the oils too
Appreciate it Ralph
It was a pig to put together Steven but worth it in the end

Don't know how you do it Steve. Do you go out and stare at rusted tractors? How do you know what wear and tear looks like or is there pure instinct involved? Scottie's another who has your powers of observation. Just amazing work.

Morning all, yes I agree with Peter, you definitely have a knack for this .
That size of the chipping on the frame a couple of posts back was just perfection, looked real .

Hi Everyone
Peter/JR - My inspiration for this weathering was the film Ice Cold in Alex. I did a lot of pausing and zooming in. There was little chipping on the main body but more on handles, doors, hatches etc. There was a lot of speckling on the vehicle. There was also a crude attempt at a paint brush camo pattern. I didn't like the look of that so I didn't copy that. I do however confess to having a modellers eye when viewing the world nowadays. Looking at different vehicles and how dirty they look. Livin the dream!! :smiling3::smiling3::smiling5:

Fantastic work Steve,, better buy one of those boonie hats to keep the rays off of your head

A rare photo of " Rivet " Jones relaxing at his out door seating and chipping area wearing the aforementioned hat.
This was taken in his younger days whilst sitting in the garden of his woodland retreat in Devon.

Hi Everyone
Pleased to meet you Paul. Great to have you looking in. Glad you like it
Looks like JR has got that covered Joe:smiling3::smiling5:
How much did you pay my Mrs's for that photo JR?? That was back in the day when I could sit in a fold up chair without it being crushed:smiling5::smiling3:

Steve,
The weathering process is superb.

More wonderful work Steve. And while you were scrutinising 'Ice Cold in Alex' did you get a good look at Sylvia Sims? I definitely think the tractor needs a female driver ( Ms Sims never looked lovelier than in that film).
it certainly is,Steve!
I am in awe. Do you use a brush to make the dots, or a cocktail stick(or a pin...)?
