Thanks ER and John. Carl I'm thinking of a battered tractor used through all the harsh 43 winter, and depicted durign the "schlamm period", the time when snow and ice melt and become a very, very sticky mud. Dicky thanks a lot, but I don't think I'll be able to scratch the 100% of a vehicle in such short time. Yet all your suggestions helped a lot, without them I'd be unable to get that crate done  |

Luigi i used to work out of a line truck . The terrain in the wintwr was either mud and wet snow or frozen dirt and ice . If we were not out climbing poles we were in that truck getting warm and house keeping was no priority . So the floor boards were covered with everything that we walked thru ...........including extra clothing and yesterdays left over lunch !LOL So go for it Luigi ! Either more or less works i would say . |

T, glad you like it  Carl, thank you I don't think that thing had nothing near to the heater of that line truck Dan, thanks for the warm comment. The settings are all in manual mode. The tricks are the whitebox, that helps getting the light even and the black background. Those pics were taken at F 3.5 (the minimum that my A720is allows), time 1/4, ISO 80 (to reduce noise), macro autofocus.

Thanks Richard Andy, it's just a question of priorities  Would you choose to prevent a german 88 from hitting some holes on your tractor or whould you rather clean the floors? Thanks a lot, my friend |

thought i had posted in here lately.
luigi it looks awesome. but to be honest you may be light on the debri on the floorboards. depending on the timing. i had an s-10 that i spent an aweful lot of time in. although it was cleaned periodically it became a landscape unto itself. sometimes the floor seemed to be four to five inches taller.

Thanks a lot, my friend I am pretty good at multi-tasking so I think I can manage to keep mine clean while running away from those 88s. LOL Again, great work and can't wait to see more... |

Dicky and Carl I kept watching them and there was something that made me uneasy. You both nailed the problem, the wear is too even. I'll go over it tomorrow with some dark brown wash to try to correct it. Thanks a lot my friends

Nice work on the seats Luigi! The others have given you some good tips on adding some depth to them. Going to be a great 'front office' addition for this tractor!

Luigi , i like them seats better than the ones i did man !!!! ;D You gonna put some dull coat on them ? , you must be kidding, yours were much better than mine Don't know yet whether to make them flat or leave them semigloss like now. I'll decide when I'll close the cab, in the next days. Do you think it would make them better? I can't make up my mind as sometimes I've seen worn leather shine, polished by friction... |

Luigi , Great idea , i never thought of that . I think that the seat would be the shiniest where the driver sets and then probably duller on the rest of the seat . Maybe a little shinny where a passnger would set . Since the floor is dirty i'm thinking there would be dust on the unused parts of the seats. ;D
