ours usually have a lot of mud /dirt /dust /grease but this would be representative after a pressure wash 🙂

The bulldozer looks incredibly realistic. Extremely good weathering.

Very nice figure painting and the dozer looks really great as well. Some sweet chipping and scratches.

Very nice diorama, Simon. 👍
And great figure painting skills. Do you work with acrylics or other paints on figures?

Hi pepe and whiteGlint, thanks for your compliments🙂
@whiteglint: I always use acrylics and oilpaints for my figures
The first step is a zenital pre shading(black, grey, white) for a better locating of the details and different shades
2 thin layers of the base color of each section, 2-3 layers of highlights are painted with acrylics
Normally i use a oil paint filter and while still the surface is wet i paint the shadows and highlights in the same way also using oil paints
Hope i could help you🙂

Yes, thank you. 🙂
Right now I still fear ruining my figures, because I suck with the brush.
Maybe I can work with a mix of both airbrush and paintbrush.

Sorry i forget to say that i only use the airb for pre shading.
The rest of the work is done by the paintbrush😅

Just means I have to get out of my comfort zone. 😉
And that I need to buy better brushes for stuff like that.

😁😁 the chipping is mainly done by using sponge technique and the paintbrush.
3-4 different layers of color ensure a quite reaslistik look, followed by some streaking effects.
a steady hand is really necessary 😉

Album info
A good kit from Tamiya with sharp details and clean parts.
If you want to have it more precisely, however, improvements must be made.
Also the figure from Res/Kit is cast in good quality.
