Thanks for your attention and kind words friends ! Next to do today was cutting the tires to make them look flat. The front tires were cut away a bit more, to give the front of the tractor a heavier look than the back of it.   I will complete them with Milliput... Pics later on... Thanks for looking ! Best regards ! AG |

awesome G. I can think of no better way to show the feeling of weight to a model. I'll be chopping some Panther wheels in the near future for my old sunken Panther.

Great work so far, AG! I love the rusty inspiration pic. I hope that is what you're planning as a finish:) Wonderful idea on achieving the front heavy look by cutting more off the tires. Ingenius:). Another brilliant idea was the Miliput for sagged tires: why didn't I think of that? Outstanding work as usual, mate.

Luigi, and it's not a difficult way of making them, it can be done in two stages.
Jsteinman,thanks mate, but what is AAA ?
Rob, steal as much as you want my friend ! I've stolen a whole lot from you too !
Boots, no problem and thank you for your visit, checking each thread on the site would cost all our bench time !

That makes sense Luigi, is it American Automobile Association ? Yep, I think John was wonderin if ya needed a tow, lol. Question AG, any way to make the rubber look cracked or in serious decay? I was thinking about how to do that last night, but was wondering if yall have any idea. There has to be a way to do it, or I might be thinking way too deep here. At any rate AG, Ruck On Brotha! Cheers, Ski. |

Ski, I dabbed Tamiya Extra Thin glue onto the surface of the tires, it makes them look older I think. I go for the easy way now and painting starts today ! Thanks Gary, the build is done and paint splashing is about to begin ! Steven, that would be cool my friend ! I look forward to that ! Nice to know you can use the method too ! T,thanks ! It'll sure work for you too ! |
