1/35 Gas Mechanical Bash

Looking good, the dirt buildup is great.

Fine dustiness Marc! The chassis, the body, the whole is harmonious and perfectly realistic ...

Thanks guys....but still getting more drastic ...and more to go.

Needs a small sign in the cab... "please wipe your boots"

I'd have said it looks satisfactory, but if Russ wants to go with superb, I can go with that as well 

Cheers,
Dan

Very interesting crumbly effect in the mud.
I for sure will learn a lot with this one.

Marc,

Thanks guys....but still getting more drastic ...and more to go.

... please make sure not to go over the top again  ... http://www.ingr.co.uk/images/sar_locoNo10001.jpg ... why not maltreating a former fork lift instead (hint) ... 

Cheers

Very nice Marc!

The real thing...



I sent you a PM, did you received it?

Franck

Thanks Franck,

That is the loco I was using as a general example/direction.

Here are some of the other images.

Yes, got the PM....sorry, been so hectic with working and trying to get this build and article done, I completely spaced. I will check the dimensions and get back to you.

....also using the images of this loco.

Just to be a smartie pants , I'll tell you where these locos operated . Baustoffwerke Muhlhausen GmbH, Betonwerk Treffurt . More photos ( with less mud) can be found in Die Feldbahn Band 9 , just before the photos of my brick sheds in Ferna .

Thanks for the info Nick. I had assumed/figured they were at a brick works facility.

The last of the dirt and mud......still drying...so coloring is a bit darker and monochromatic than it will be when dry.....one more step to go.

Marc, especially after analyzing the above photos I've decided the model actually looks terrible. Are you sure you want to continue? Maybe you should wash off the paint and start from scratch .... -- ssuR
