elmarriachi Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hello, last update of the dozer before the primering. The cap finished with lot of great etched parts which add lot of details. Some wire, etched parts etc. added and ready for the paint job now. Jeff and Girlscanplay2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Micha, I love the cab screens, they really look the part, I have a silly question... how do you manage to put it all together THEN paint it?? I have NEVER had success doing it that way, I seem to have to paint most small parts first... what am I doing wrong? Love what you are doing pal..

elmarriachi Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 Hi Jeff, I am putting together all parts that get the same color ... or which still allow me to access at all areas I had to get to for fine brush painting ... bigger areas I am masking ... then it works very well Cheers Michael Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmarriachi Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hello, the great "track wash" was added on the whole body parts (only outside) next, to give the yellow color the correct shape. Then clear coat fixed it, before the decals were added and some displays at the interior (colored etched parts from the kit). All the great decals were included, also the Caterpillar markings (no idea if they have the licence for it) The tracks were single pieces, holes have to be drilled and wire was used to mount thte tracks... in theory.... it was a horror job ... the tracks were not all accurate ... so the fitting was terrible. Finally I have glued it all in place and fixed the whole, unpainted tracks to the dozer .... then masked all around ... and sprayed the tracks after the mounting ... this was the only option. First black, then rusty red, then silver, chipping, yellow, chipping. Then once again a rusty red wash Now follow the windows, some further details, then assembling of the whole ... then dust and dirt Cheers Micha Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarriachi Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 Hello, the bulldozer is - I think - finished. All parts put together, lights added (etched parts), etched wipers added ... then some final pipework at the riper added. The base made of carton, wood filler... then painted in black and brown.... then soil from the garden, some earth, sand, plants.... and some pigments to give it the final color .... The Caterpillar was soiled with pigments and a bit of filler .... then soot was added with black pigments, some bare iron with metal pigments on the tracks, shield, ripper, grips and steps as well as at the chassis .... I think that's it .... maybe some additional details on the diorama ... maybe a cat or a bird... or a white/red painted pole ...... let's see....
