just finished another 3cx i have piped it for a hammer added a hammer and hydraulic pipes and weathered it.i is now for sale on ebay.

1/32 jcb tm310s conversion,

this is a fantastic looking model from new but now looks even better.i have added working spot lights on the front and rear of the cab and on the end of the boom,also working flashing beacon.the lights in the cab were quite hard to do as it is a bit tight in this cab.i then added micro switches one for the spot lights and one for the flashing beacon.then it was weathered to look muddy and the silage grab,forks and bucket weathered to look worn and used.

1/32 scratch built diesel tank

time to finish the tank first i add streaks of grim then start building up different shades on the rust patches,then i make a plant to go round the bottom of the light add some dark pigment to the wall under tap to look like a build up of spilt fuel i also add some wet look fuel/oil stain mix under the tap,the last thing is the streaks of




rust and some dust pigment and thats it finihed.

1/32 scratch built diesel tank

the next stage is to build the tank and add a filler pipe,top hatch,fluid level gauge,tap and hose.the h beams are then cut to size and painted,
with this tank before i painted it i put random spots of glue and removed them after a few coats of paint which will be the patches of rust.
i then built a spotlight for it glued it in place at this point double check the light is working.
