Sweet

[406 Silverado]

Just a few update pics with washes and small bits of weathering. The streaking is on but not seen in these pics. i will start the dusting then post new pics late today.









The layers of weathering will add more depth to the JT. Still have the wheels and tracks to do, long way from being done. Hoping to wrap the model up in the next week, then comes the base. I'm hoping to get some ArmorFarm products for that.

Got pics coming up very soon. just doing a bit of earth pigs to the lower hull. Looks like the wheels are up next

[armorguy]

I like the color combinations, it's not just rust, also an interesting three tone camo scheme.

Best regards ! G.

Looking very good Rob, watching & learning mate

[johnt]

Brilliant stuff, getting better all the time Rob!

[406 Silverado]

Thanks for the comments fellas, glad your not too bored with this one yet.

Right, small update. The dirt and dust has been added to the lower hull. I tried to replicate the caked dirt and muck that flaked off the lower hull due to the heat and fire. Still need to work the burnt area, but you get the picture.











Should have this wrapped up in the up coming week, then start the base. As always, thank you for following along and commenting.

[spud]

flaking dirt looks good rob

[406 Silverado]

Thanks Spud. It's not quite what I was hoping for, but I can work with it.

Hey BJ, good to hear from you again bro, and thanks.

Hiya Chris. thanks bud. I now your busy nowadays. Thanks for stopping in.

Things are moving right along tonight and should have the wheels done and ready for tracks soon. Need to order some Blacken-it from AK-USA for those.

[TRM]

Missed the update buddy!! Awesome bit of mudification!!!!

[406 Silverado]

Hey T, thanks bro. Doing the exhausts right now....then onto those wheels. Should be fun...and done tonight.

[TRM]

Nice way to finish off the weekend!!! Working some welds right now myself!!

[406 Silverado]

ooooh welds...good stuff then. I'm gonna pass on the welds on my KV. I need a quick build and get to rusting. I need a nice old crusty rusty KV.

[TRM]

Not sure on the good stuff...LOL...but making headway!!! Calling it a night!!! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Asta'

[armorguy]

Burnt off dirt looks good mate !

[406 Silverado]

Thank you fellow MSC'ers

Hey Richard welcome back, and thank you for the kind words. Glad to hear my work has helped you out.

OK, slight set back. I forgot I gave away my kit supplied tracks.....so I do have to use the Fruils. I had hoped to instead use the Dragon tracks since the sprockets were already painted. So now I have to paint the metal 18 tooth sprockets that come with the tracks. No biggie
Wheels are finally done and will be mounted on the arms tonight. Pics coming tomorrow some time.

[TRM]

Sorry to hear the set back!!! Thinking you will recover rather quickly though!! I'll keep an eye out for them pics!!!

[406 Silverado]

yeah it's no biggie really, about an hours work. The model is about 98% done. Just need the partial tracks and sprockets. Might add some mud spatter since I'll have the AB out. Time to start the base

[406 Silverado]

Just a small update fellas. Got the wheels mounted and a test fit on the base last night. Won't have any time today or tomorrow to work on this. Got to take the car into the shop this afternoon and have other things to do. The plans for today and this week have all changed so very little bench time for me.
In all it wasn't a bad week working on the JT, after having it sit for two years. Might try to do the base and sprockets this weekend.









Thanks for looking all. that's it for me, got to run

[spud]

why did ya cut the wheels?

[406 Silverado]

Spud the wheels were cut down back when I built the model. It's so the JT will sit into the ground work. it's for visual weight effect and much easier this way than to try and bury the wheels and tracks. I will only be using some of the tracks since the bottom runs will be in the ground.
Make sense now. If you do have anymore questions, please ask and I'll try to explain my madness

[spud]

haha i was thinking why not just bury it but that makes sense,

[armorguy]

Unbelievable color combinations ! This is becoming another masterpiece !

[406 Silverado]

Thanks G and 67. Yeah those bright orange rust colors are a bit loud....but that is how they looked once the oxidation started. A few days of rain and they toned down to reddish brown. The black soot would also start streaking....more colors
