Next the frame of the canopy was painted, this was intended to be bare rusty steel with no old paint. I used Vallejo Model Color and Panzer Aces paint, not Model Air. This is because these are thicker paints, which helps this technique. The colours used, plus a little retarder to slow down the drying process: I mixed the red and blue to make a mauve, and the Light Rust and yellow to make an orange brown, and the Dark Rust I used on it's own. So 3 different colours were sponged on using 3 foam sponges: Not too much paint on the sponge, I just built up the different colours mixing them with the sponges as the paint went on, continuing to dab tacky wet paint into tacky wet paint. When done I also added some oil washes to the top around the rust blisters, and there it is. It's pretty rusty now..the way i like it Cheers JT

I can only restate my comment on Rick Lawler's tractor. It's a great looking kit and you are doing a fabulous job with it. But hey, you've already proven yourself as a tractor master. ;D

Thanks again guys for your feedback ;D Well I'm calling this baby done. The tracks were painted using the 3 sponge technique again. Dust was simulated by carefully airbrushing fine layers of Vallejo paint in the appropriate areas, mostly on the cowling. You might notice that I used the salt technique under the dust to break it up a little, except I used talcum powder instead of salt. Then shading and oil stains were added using (what else) oil paint. The tracks had the same light dust treatment, followed by pigments held in place with fixative. Time to haul some timber. Thanks for coming along for the ride, I hope you like it! Cheers JT
