1/35th D7 Dozer

[randy_ditton]

Hi Folks,

This is the same kit that Moon Pup is building. Mine will be a yellow civilian dozer. Putting it on a small base depicting a dozer that has been sitting out back of a business for a lot of years but getting some attention.
Added an electric start for the pony motor and some extra details....

Still not done, more to come next week I hope.

hmy: Now that looks real good Randy!! If I didn't know any better, that last pic is very realistic!! The last few (4-5 pics) remind me of my uncle's shop some yrs back!

his reminds me of the old commercial " is it real or Memorex" My god man is all I can say .......this is absolutely stunning. It is not often that a model can be used as reference

Hi Folks,

Thanks to Ed, Gerry, MP, Mike, Tony and 135eng. for the kind remarks :dude :dude

Not much progress, put a fig into the scene to check that everything is looking 'scale'

Don't think I will have any figs in the final product but if I found the right civy that would look right in my time frame, 70's-80's, maybe.....

Thanks for looking in.

Nailed it. What did you do for the pulleys on the LeTourneau rack?

Pup, Pretty much out of the box on the pulleys, here is a close up. This is painted with a wash of brownish red ink, Has not been chipped and grimed up yet...

Totally Fantastic work! I'd say that wash really makes the detail "Pop"out at ya!!

Randy,

It is fantastic! I love it!

Somehow making destroyed or dilapidated vehicles are always the most satisfying builds for me. They just have a much more realistic appearance than do pristine, direct from the factory models do, and you nailed that look!
