Name  the song ……

[RGL]

Just need to add the awnings 

[Egilman]

That is stupendous....

 

Very well executed Brother.... I have several of those just like you, but mine will never look like that....

 

You have a singular talent...

 

Well Done!!!

[RGL]

Thanks mate, I’ll get the awnings on tomorrow and then do up the OD one. The hours of alignment have paid off so far. 
 

I watched Captain Nightshift do a video on a WW1 tank, follow that and you’ll replicate this easily enough. 

[Egilman]

Unfortunately I can't find Captain Nightshift on You Tube... 

 

I did find a Martin Kovac who uses the handle Night Shift....

 

And it reveals his layering technique, kinda...

 

Will do more research though...

 

Thanks..

 

[RGL]

Thats the chap. .

Ok.. I give up. What's the song?

[RGL]

Tin Roof; rusted……

[RGL]

Come on! You can do it! 

[RGL]

Awnings added. That should do this one. 

[RGL]

Next. The tracks, red primer, then a red brown coat, followed by. Heavy enamel rust wash, then a silver Drybrush to bring up the worn metal parts, then a heavy dust wash 

[RGL]

Olive drab with a dark brown wash, then Drybrushed edges in red/brown and sponged on red brown. 
 

rust wash next 

[RGL]

Rust wash, mud and dust next 

[RGL]

Thick mud and grass

[RGL]

Tractor 2! Nearly there

You should stop fooling us: photoshopping pics of the original into your workbench.

Honestly: placed in a dioramasetting, and on a (BW) foto taken from a low angle it would be difficult to see this is ‘just’ a model.

Jan, that is very close, it's when he does the OD one is when the tale will be told....  I hope he finds an appropriate backdrop for the image.... This is artistry on so many levels it is stupendous...

The lid is on 

[RGL]

So how it looks so far

[RGL]

Going to need a bigger plank 

[RGL]

Lots of resin 

[Egilman]

Resicast has a huge reputation, I'll be very interested in your opinion of their work....

[Toolmaker]

Having done my fair share of weathering I have to say “yes”.

”Yes” I would be extremely happy if this were my work.

 

I think it’s superb and thank you for the entertainment 

 

Cheers

Chassis is of the lorry sone. Convoluted design and difficult instructions (needs more photos or diagrams ) 

[RGL]

[wefalck]

Interesting design with the power-shaft and the differentials on one side of the chassis. What are the heavy tubular thingies in the middle of the chassis?

Transmission/Transfer Case... Back in those days the engine/clutch was one package, Transmission was another and differential was the last... 

 

4 wheel drive created the Transmission/Transfer case to power the front axle....

 

It was in the mid '20's when trucks went to an engine/clutch/transmission package and split off the transfer case....
