Rui SExcellent work and Dio.
In my opinion just the lifting structure & bucket of the truck should have a lit bit more weathering? 🤔

Mr JamesOh thats good. Love the rust on the Mach truck, muddy wheels and the weathering on the vehicles is superb

Brandon HThanks everyone!! Always appreciate the kind words from this community.
@Rui, I've been wondering the same lately - my first thought was that the boom spends most of its time transit, tucked away on top of the truck, so less mud and dust would accumulate there. Fortunately, it's easy enough to touch things up with some pigments or drybrushing here and there.
Very happy I was able to get this together in time for the big truck show up north next weekend, we'll see how it does in the show!

Bill NewcomerVery impressive! If you have the inclination, the bucket operator should be wearing a safety harness.

BozzerGood call Bill! I operate boom lifts, almost weekly, and I missed that too!

Michael KohlVery well done. Great feeling to get it ready on time. Safe travels and some great feedback.

Rui SBrandon, I was thinking more about scratches than dirt.
It's a moving part with dificult soft handling so, I thougt it would sustain some bangs from tools, and some oil stain in joints. Just wondering 🤔
Anyway great Dio, Mate Congratulations 👍

Brandon H@Bill, @ Bozzer, let me know if photos 13 and 14 are satisfactory lol
@Rui, those photos will also show you a little closer view of the weathering I've already done on the boom and bucket.

Brandon HThanks Bozzer
Outdoor photos done! (I was finally able to enlist some help to move it to the lot next door, and to load it in the Jeep for the show this weekend)

SpanjaardThat looks just amazing, I was going to say good luck in the show, but it is more like I am sorry for the rest of the entries..... 😉

BozzerExcellent result mate! Like we never doubted it??? Gotta admit though, the waiting was nailbiting! 😉

Bill NewcomerCongratulations on the well earned win. I see the bucket operator got a safety harness. 🙂

Brandon HHuge feels like an understatement. 30x30 sounds manageable, until you remember that most doors are 30" inches wide!
And Tim would know, he helped me move it several times!
