That turned out great! The outdoor pics really makes the mud pop. 😄

Here are the pictures of the completed model. It was a long ride from a crudish red snap-tite kit to this abandonded tractor.
The story: On a rainy day, a lazy farmer drove his old tractor through the mud. There was a slight bump in the mud, easy enough to drive around, but as said, the farmer was lazy. He drove his little tractor over the bump, and instantly snapped his front left wheel mount. Again being lazy, the farmer abandoned the little tractor in the mud. To Rust In Pieces. Only the occasional pigeon visits the little tractor now, to addinsult to injury, the pigeons shit on the tractor...…

I hate when that happens! You're moving along nicely and then AH F*%K!

Martin Oostrom
Thanks once more. Looking on the pc, it shows how hard it is to take decent (focused) pictures with an iPhone. 🙁

This was a new level for you, Martin. Great work. Run down junk models are fascinating to me because just looking at them makes my head redefine what's "good" and what's "bad". We're conditioned to accept how hard it is to make something look "perfect" and "flawless", so it's a natural response to appreciate that type of beauty. But it's SO hard to remember that what, in the real world, is basically easy to achieve (I.e. park a tractor in a muddy field and walk away) is insanely difficult to achieve when you're trying to make a bit of plastic LOOK like that's what happened. Just fantastic.

Ceci n'est pas une pipe...

Donald Dickson II
Wow! Well done sir! I mean REALLY well done.

Tom ...
Martin, it made me shed a tear. Fantastic build, Mate! My eyeballs feel muddy.

Martin Oostrom
😳 I think I'm going to ask Tim to implement a speechless emoji. As usual you gentlemen are way too generous in your compliments. I'll accept them anyway 😛

Tom, LOL!

Marty, quite easily the best thing you have ever done! Actually, keeping Tim speechless would come a close second! The birdshit was a brilliant idea.

Spanjaard
none of the comments about is undeserved. this is a wonderful job what you have done. to be proud of! and this is your first in chipping and heavy weathering.... looking forward the next!

Alec K
Agree with the mates above - excellent, excellent work 👍

Neuling
Very realistic rust and mud. Sehr schön!

Daniel Klink
Fantastic MArtin it s so authentic that i really feel sorry for the machine..
Wow congrats mate👍

Martin Oostrom
Tim, silence is golden 👍
Peter, whoever came up with the shitty idea to do birdshit is one big pile of .... 😉 But I like it as well. As long as every last build is my best, I'm one happy camper!
Spanjaard, not sure if I want to do such heavy weathering on the M41. I think I'll give the Spanish Method a go (black & white). Okay with you?
Alec & Neuling, vielen dank für ihr compliment.
Daniel, this little tractor received so much love from me, don't feel sorry for her 😄

Spanjaard
of course!

Patrick Hagelstein
Cool! I like the way the chipping turned out! 👍
