Dad's motorgrader Update 1/18/12

OK, all finished except weathering. I like to let paint harden for at least 30 days, so this is the last update for awhile. It is all base coated and the stars, data plates, gauges and registration numbers are on. Here is a shot from direct front.

Thanks Mats, I believe the weathering will pop it out even more.

OK, well, I have finished this, but as I used it in so many blogs, I guess I'll post in all three.

It is finished and ready to go on the diorama. I tried to make it look as if it had been working with the Bull Dozer as I will the converted dump truck Deuce and a half. I used the same process I did on all the vehicles in "Logistics", as well as the weathering tutorial.

Here are the finished pics.

Then I photographed it with the dozer for effect. I wanted both to have a similar weathering effect as they would be working together for some time on the same projects.
