Youre right!
Thanks to Frenchy I got the idea to build this cage:
and here is the result:
Please notice that the cage is dryfitted and the two metal rods are just to put the cage in place for dryfit.
When everything is painted and weathered I will fix the cage to the D9R the same way as seen in the pictures from the above
So, that was the cage, on to the first step of painting this Dozer. After seeing pictures of some heavy weathered D9R’s I realized I will need some heavy chipping. This lead me to the chipping fluid / chipping medium solution based on the hairspray method. I used Vallejo’s Chipping Medium product.
I will not post all the pictures and guide on how I worked in this post, instead see my website. (sorry for you guys for having to click to another website but Im not gonna copy the exact same content from my website to here, I hope you'll understand)
The way this goes is that you first apply the bare steel color:
That were all the big parts with the first layer chipped. In the next update I will cover the second and last layer, the sand color!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I’ll be happy to help you out!
