discussion 'heavey Metal' Cat D8h Dozer

[grumpa]

OK, let's try this again Sorry about first premature eja...you know what I mean, can a mod please delete? This model was something very different, a lot more difficult {for me anyway} as most tanks and such aren't as mechanical or as detailed imo, It was loads of fun, Hope you like it

Nice one Jim, great work, the weathering looks very effective.

Ooooo, I really like this. Weathering is spot on and the exposed metal is very realistic on the tracks and blade. I would be very happy to have this in my collection.

Thanks Terry, there is a low boy big rig {lorrie to you guys} made to carry this monster, all 67 tons of it. I will try to acquire it one day, would make an impressive combo. The Missus is not impressed Base it is on will be used eventually as the base for my Falaise project, just thought it would look nice on it instead of messy bench. "Horror" diorama up next, stay tuned..............Cheers, Jim

That's brilliant Jim! I used to live right next to heavy plant depot & that looks indistinguishable from the dozers I saw there.


In particular, the worn paintwork is represented very well. Top job
