GMC Water Tank Truck
Comments
NeulingAn unspectacular build with excellent paintwork and weathering. Nothing overdone. That´s it!
BohrmannFully agree with @Neuling. I like the weathering of the wheels and the mud under the fender of the front wheel. Curious about how you did this
MarkThank you all for your comments and liking! @Bohrmann, I've used VMS pigments, VMS alkyd binders and VMS universal weathering carrier.
