Howdy Y'all
Building a Tamiya bulldozer for the 'Engineering the Future' campaign. I'm slowly making progress. Today I did some paint chipping and last week I tried the 'salt' method for the blade. The blade has Gunmetal and Stainless Steel metalizer at the bottom. I noticed the seat is crooked and I've corrected it. The next step will be applying a coat of Future, apply decals and then pin washes.
Any comments, advice and tips are welcome.
Take care,
Don "Lakota"

Possibly some more wear on the left fender and floor plate. These are "high traffic" areas. Paint wear and scratching would be obvious.

Other than that, it's a pretty nice build so far.

The only other thing is the seam on top by the fuel cap. Is that actually there on the real vehicle? I'm not familiar enough with it to know.
