Looks great! How did you weather and paint the treads? They look really good.

Sehr Schoen. Very realistic. I love the painting and weathering. The rusting is spot on. Congratulations on a great build.

Hi. Nice little tractor you built. I also like the small scene and the added tracks in the sand. Will you be adding some figures?

A "normal" GI and a seabee for the next project.
