With the
vehicle upright and sitting on its tracks and wheels it is now time to apply
some more general wear and tear! I was after the look of a vehicle that had
just entered service.
Before I
started, the headlamp lenses were added, along with the Notek light and bracket
that I managed to knock off earlier. Working methodically and slowly
around the exterior further weathering effects were added to add to the overall
appearance. These effects were built up in layers until I was satisfied it
would require no more.
I'm almost done with this project. A four-month build time is a fast one for me so I reckon I should really call this one my first completed build of 2023😃
The width indicators still need to be attached and blended in. They have already been painted but seem to have gone walkabout!
I have really enjoyed this build and although these Trumpeter 8-ton kits can be
quite a challenge and extremely frustrating to construct in places, I'm happy
with how this one has turned out.
