Another Fordson project in 1/16th scale

[Chuck Doan]

Still crawling along. Slowly adding the detail to this side of the tractor. Spark plug wires are made from annealed brass wire.

For the manifold I first used Krylon grey primer shot in short bursts from about 12-18" away to create the texture. An old trick. Then Tamiya brown primer and then light aps of burnt Sienna oils, pigments and then wet Prismacolor Premier pencil dits. Worked with a wet wood toothpick. Kind of subjective, but very editable.

Convincing to say the least.  Realism to the minutest degree.

Hi Chuck
Often the little things make the difference! And again, it looks just fabulous. But what I appreciate most is that you are sharing with us how to achieve such an effect. Thanks a lot !
Cheers, Peter

Chuck, Very happy to see your post!
Sometimes I think you must've lived (or at least played) in a scrapyard. Your ability to capture corrosion, grime, wear & tear are instinctive.

Unbelievable! You can only tell that it really is a model because the tank and radiator are too new.

 Will you live long enough to see it finished ? Better make it a small one .

Starting to get the hang of it, young Charles!
