WOW!. At first glance when i saw the bucket I thought it was the real deal. You must tell us how you do that. Sheer genius.

Even better now the photos are the right way up.
But it needs a building site to go with it.

Beautiful! I've been wanting to get one of these kits, but I doubt I could achieve your level of realism. Great job!

Thank you guys ! On a scoop I used a metallic paste AGAMA, Brown metal, Gunmetal and Steel.

One suggestion: this appears to be a working excavator, so the inside & sides of the bucket, and the dozer blade front surface, should really be shiny steel color, instead of rust. Those surfaces get a lot of scrubbing from dirt, like a farm plowshare does, and so they should be shiny polished steel. What you really want is just short of chrome, but not white-silver like aluminum.
Maybe whatever you used for the hydraulic cylinder shafts. That's pretty close.
