Build Photos: Agricultural Tractor D8500
The modeling bench is cleaned and I'm excited to start this new project.
All the parts and pieces. Nice high quality tooling, a few decals, and PE parts.
Progress on the engine block. Painted with Vallejo Model Color. Flat Blue and Basalt Gray (1:2). The brass part is primed in white, painted in gold acrylic, and finished with a black acrylic pin wash.
PE part is superglued onto plastic and painted gray blue along with everything else. Then it dries and I lightly sand away the paint from the lettering and border to reveal the brass underneath.
Floor panel painted black, "rusted" with a light dry sponging of a mix of red and brown, and then finished with a subtle pin wash of dirt (a mix of red, brown, orange, and yellow)
Further progress and some gentle weathering. This is a tractor, not a showpiece!
Tractor walls added. Ooh they fit so perfectly!
Smoke stack rusted and weathered
Wheel parts painted and drying

Peter GAll done and had a fun time putting this together. Parts were formed crisply and connected just right. I enjoyed this quite a bit. Thanks for watching! You can follow my next build here: Krachenvogel FNS465 | Project by grabius (1:20)
