Andy, thank you mate, yeah there is a little leftI would find it hard to say anything that has not been said this is just such a great build. Do you have any dirt left in your garden?
Andy.
Thanks Greg glad you like it.one word.....WONDERFUL.....
Jason, thanks and I know what you mean. I would love to be able to paint figures. Really happy you like my build thank you.Im so enthralled by this that I've just been back for another look....I know a lot of vehicle modellers always say they don't know how us (mainly) figure modellers do what we do but I have to say that the same applies for me in reverse... I just don't know how to do a vehicle up to this standard!!!!

Graeme, thank you mate. In this case I think it is the camera angle. But looking at it the handle it does get close especially when the cable is on the left hand side of the drum.Looks good Paul, weathering is just right, nothing to improve. Paul E does have a point, the crank handle on the crane looks like it would catch on the cable, but it's probably just the way it looks in the photo.
Thanks Paul happy you like it.Great work Paul. This Scammel Pioneer looks the biz.
Cheers

Hi John, Thank you mate for the kind words. Your right about the scratches and I thank you for the pointer that is a good idea.Paul
This is a very nice project full of your usual skillful additions. The weathering is looking very effective. You did ask for suggestions so here is mine, ignore completely if you fancy. When you are painting chips on metal you can make the chips have a more 3 dimensional look by painting the area in a pale version of the basic colour. You then fill in the middle of the pale chip with the dark grey that you are currently using but leave a tiny line of the pale colour showing around the edges. Then if you are going for a more aged look you can cover the chip with a light wash of dark rust colour.
Like I say this is really only gilding the lilly as far as this build is concerned so feel free to ignore.
John
