Not sure if this qualifies as a softskin vehicle but I'm sure it could haul a cannon atleast.

I am currently working on an afghan diorama but I got this tractor as a birthday present from my kids. I really wanted to finish it since it was a really cool gift.
My trackrecord of finished models is pretty much non-existing so getting this one done is huge for me.

The model was pretty okay but I didn't want to just slab some grey paint on it and be done with it, so I decided it would be a rotten old workhorse.
Scanned the interweb for tutorials and found the "white glue and toothbrush"-method.

Overall, this has been a nice project and a great practice to try out a new method. Not sure if I pulled it off but I let you be the judge of that.

Looks the part to me



On a side note, the British Army used some Fergies (but don't ask me what for... ) :

Very good

Just one thought: The wheels look as if they have recently been rolling in dirt which should mean that the tractor has been driven and that implies that someone has been polishing the seat with his or her backside. If the drive was a once per year activity then the rust would stay in place but if this is a tired old workhorse which is still being used then some areas like the seat, pedals, handles & levers, footsteps et.c. would get polished.
This could add some extra visual interest, polished areas or parts with fresh oil/grease and then all the rusty parts.
