Hi Mig,

Thanks for sharing that feature. The weathering on the dozer blade and especially the tires are awesome. On your use of VARNISH -- will any clear gloss / flat do (i.e. Dullcote, Future) do, or is there a specific one that you would recommend?

Cheers,

That is a great job as always. Thanks for sharing that with us.

One question, this loader has many flat surface, why didn't you paint highlight to make it more vivid?

Hi Mig,

Welcome along and thanks for the short article.

Hi Mig,

I didn't know you sold your company. Now I gust you can build just what you like. It nice to see you back in the community doing your personal project. Thanks for sharing it with us. If by any chance you can show us how to build a nice tree with it leaves in a future post it would very appreciated by me who never made one.

see you around

olivier

it is good to see someone with the knowledge of all the uses of the products that carry your name show us how it is done. Thank you.

Hi Mig,
I would like to thank you for sharing with us the great info on your technique used to model this front loader. In the article you mentioned you had taken a lot more photos when you first did this article. Do you have those extra photo someplace you can share with us? I'm interested in seeing more photos of how you did the tires on this model. I'm about to model a stryker and will be doing tires myself so I'm very interested in weathering tires.
Thanks,
Dave
