Howdy folks...this is my current build. It is the ICM 1/35 Ford V3000S. It is a German WWII truck, but I'm turning it into a used and worn out farm truck.
She's wearing her base coat of PollyScale Dark Green, and the bed is Vallejo German Red Primer. This was the starting point for all the weathering!
She still needs the lenses for the headlights and a front bumper. The weathering and crud for the bed has been started, along with picking out the random junk that will fill the bed. The weathering was completed using cheap craft paints and MicroMark weathering powders, the nice thing about the MicroMark powders is they are self adhesive. I also found that the more layers of colors you use, you end up with a really nice satin patina. I thought about going dark and adding more contrast to the rust, but I really like the overall contrast it has right now.
I really NEED to hit the bricks with some Dullcote!
I'll add more pics as the work continues!
Thanks...Erik
