I was wondering when we'd see a return to this. Looking forward to round 2 with the cab.

Hey guys. Thanks for the comments.

This weekend I have managed to make some progress. Everything is in base coat including a variety of metalizers on the 'formerly shiny' parts. I'll chip flat greys over this.

Wheels are finished as far as paint / hairspray chipping goes. I"ll add more weathering with AK stuff.

And a bit of a mockup to see how the rusty and silvery will look together.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Looks wicked! The colour of the wheels is awesome and the metal finish looks cool too.

 

[Junkie]

Thanks John. Still lots of weathering to do on those metal parts.

Just dropping in to paste a reference. I like to use the thread to 'bookmark' stuff. Gonna go for this look with the hitch.

[Quaralane]

Definitely looking good, Scott

 

[MrT]

Thanks guys. I appreciate the enthusiasm but the last thing I want to do now is rush this. Getting closer though.

Couldn't resist jumping to that 5th wheel and trying some oil paint and pigments. Gonna leave this dry for a good long while and then revisit it for a second go.

I love taking shots like this.

 

[Papermodder]

Very impressive Scott.
Love the used look.

That last photo really shows off her stance Scott. I dig those shots as well. She is looking some kinda mean Sir. Great color choice on the wheels.

 

[noname]

Yes,yes,yes, take your time. We all must remind ourselves over and over again.

The fifth wheel looks great.

 

[JohnSimmons]

that weathering is incredable! I can smell the grease!

 

[Cash]

Going to look epic Truck when its done !nice paint job and pigments .

Scott, looks like you've made a great start on that hitch. Per the referance photo, it looks like there is a huge layer of dried out caked on grease on the real thing. I'm thinking you could mix a little AK engine oil with a little fuel stains in a small amount of plaster. Might give it that "caked" layer you see in the photo.
