Thanks Andy & Jim. Really happy with the chipping myself.
I started on the weathering today, in fact it isn't far off done. After a panel line wash it got a few goings over with a concoction made from burnt sienna oil paint, thinner, and a couple of rust coloured dry pigments. I've also added an initial layer of dust coloured pigments to the tracks while access was good. This will be worked on further, as there's too much in some areas, and I want to add a couple of colours for variety, but at least there's something on the hidden areas that I won't be able to reach now that it's all glued up. Of course while I'm doing those I'll be adding the same pigments here & there around the rest of the dozer to tie it all together.
It looks a bit disjointed at the moment because of the tracks, but hopefully it'll come together tomorrow.
Oh, and I also painted the driver today and have the base 90% complete. It just needs a couple of finishing touches once the vehicle is in place.
Productive day! I'll need to order some more models to keep me busy until I return to work in April at this rate!
