Started with the engine first. Monochrome paint job and generous use of some oil stain effect and my new airbrush give it a worn, industrial look

Rolling chassis complete. I used Tamiya putty mixed with acrylic paint to achieve the mud effect.

Custom decals, made just on my inkjet printer at home. Took more iterations than I care to admit to get the background color to match.

Feeling very satisfied with my color scheme choice at this point

Some carefully cut masking tape placed on the windshield before airbrushing givens a nice effect.

A few sprigs from the thyme plant in my window were used here and there for forest debris details.

I am not a truck fan at all but this one here looks great. In my opinion the perfect amount of weathering 👍

Insanely good! Love the superb detail. I just started the rig just for practice. What type of paper is used for printing your custom decals?

Brandon H
Thanks Jarrett! You can find waterslide decal paper on Amazon pretty easily, and I've found that a fair number of hobby stores carry it as well. They make it in both clear and white. I don't remember the brand I used here, not the cheapest, but certainly not the most expensive. More important than the quality of the paper is the quality of the sealant - I've had good luck recently with Liquid Decal Film from Microscale.

Jarrett, you can get photo etch, for this kit. Pretty sure that it's Detail Master, but I could be wrong?

Bozzer's right - Mack Truck Photo Etch (Detail Master DM 2562, 1:25)
