No replies after several days? Must be busy building. I really like the truck and the diorama.

Only thing, and this is just an opinion based on the photos is that there appears to be a s sheen to the painted surfaces. I'd generally anticipate a light dust over everything.

Hi Keith,

Great looking truck in a good setting. I'd agree with Kent you need a light dusting over everything. In the pics the wheels also look very black, tyres are more a grey/black colour and again would be very dusty.

Appreciate that camera flash may be partly to blame, try a few pics in natural light. I'd recommend some MIG pigments to tone down the vehicle and kit, light sand, brick dust etc. Use a couple of variations and you'll have a great dio there.

Nice work so far.

Cheers

Sorry I missed this as it looks pretty good. I would like to see some pictures of the diorama from a better angle and closer to the subject please.

Thanks chaps.
I will try and get some closer shots but only have a small Kodak digital camera. I did notice a lot of shine from the Blue/White paper backdrop.
I will go back and 'dust' everything. Input like this is wonderful.

Oh and during my time in Far East. Sudan and Cyprus, I noticed tire (tyre) colors can be very deceiving..Never fixate and believe you are only going to see one certain color or finish.

The paint used on these Land Rovers and other B Vehicles is NOT pure FLAT, I can assure you. You can also expect to see shine spots from constant rubbing by men and equipment.

I just haven't mastered the art of applying this knowledge to my models, YET

Keith.

looks the part, very good

Keith,

That will make two of us that haven't quite mastered the art of weathering. I'm far from a master builder myself so I'm generally reluctant to offer an opinion, especially a critical one.
