Another Fordson project in 1/16th scale

A quick sandblast and a trip to the spray shop and that will look good as new!

It is cool to see the gold standard of weathering beeing hammered out right in front of you!

Grot and rust most realistic - and I agree with all

Thanks very much!

I skipped ahead a bit and finished one of the side chain drives. Made with 3D printed sprockets and Kyosho RC motorcycle chain. Grease is a mix of brown and black oil paint mixed with fine powdered dirt. Sprocket tips were polished with pencil lead. Chain guard (such as it is) made from .01 styrene. Painted a slightly different yellow as it was a later addition.

Acceptable. But please note the lower right hand sprocket tooth needs more pencil lead. -- Russ

I can almost smell the grease!

Working on the wheels. Adding The Shining with Rub N Buff and Uschi steel polishing powder, using my hi-tech Foredom "lathe". Chasing it with thinned gouache also applied while spinning.

Far and away the nicest reproduction of tyre steel I've ever seen. But we expected that.

Those fine and ultrafine striae, dents, scratches on the polished parts are absolute incredible.
And those slight nuances on the running surface between particularly stressed parts and the outher side is just phenomenal.

I am convinced it isn't just a matter of modelling at ist best, it is also a matter of observation skills...

Wowed again!

Just another masterpiece by the "MASTER"

The work on the wheels is impressive.
