Tyre Haul:

This is superb, way beyond anything I could achieve. Could you please tell me how you went about 'dirtying' this model, especially the tires and the overall dusty and rusty look.
Welcome to the site by the way.

That is super cool !!!
The detailing and weathering are suburb !!

Nice work and photography Charles. Looks so real.

Incredible!!!! No other word for the realism. Thanks for excellent fotos of "incredible!"

STUNER Charles, and I know there are plenty more where that came from. 

Absolutely a work of art there Charles....beautiful work and build..! I have a lot to learn on weathering yet.

Awesome.

Awesome truck, Charles. The weathering is superb. I love the blocking and chaining down of the load.

Beautiful, stunning work on this truck. The weathering is awesome, so real looking.

I agree with the other comments ..... Tell us how you did all this!

Love your work. What material do you use for the binder chains?

First thing I thought of was WOW!!!!!!. I am going to stay with that thought. Super nice work.

For those who have asked or wondered how I did the weathering on the boom. Here it is:

The color used on the boom is Automotive yellow spray paint. I do not own an AB. The brown used as an underlying color is also an Automotive color. I chose a brown that looked right. They had a few to choose from. I started off;

1. Spraying the boom with Citadel Chaos black paint

2. Then sprayed the second layer with a brown automotive color

3. Then sprayed a coat of Citadel Matt varnish

4. Then sprayed the base color with a yellow automotive color.

5. For the rust/paint faded away weathering, I chose the easy way. I used the sponge technique. I assume you know the sponge technique right? If you don't let me know. I used Citadel Dark earth. A brownish dull grayish color. I do not remember the name. I am not at home so I cannot check the name of it.

6. Then I when over almost every brownish patch with Citadel shade to blend in everything and to give it depth and to accentuate the rust better.

7. Then I high-lighted the edges of the boom and bucket by dry-brushing Citadel leadblencher. It's a type of metal color. I love Citadel range of colors. It gives the discolored areas the metal finish or look.

8. Last but not the least I took so,e real dust and brushed it in every nit and cranny on the boom.

9. The bucket wear n' tear was simply done by taken the enamel solution and an old brush and brushing vigorously until the brown paint started to show through. I just stopped when I was satisfied.

10. Them I took some real dust and brushed it all inside the bucket until I got the look looked good.

That's it! Simple!


As for the truck and trailer. Similar process were used but in very moderate proportions. I use dust collected from the ground, sponge technique and dry-brushing.

Here is the digger I took the boom from. I bought it at a toy cheap store. Before all the bells and whistle were added.

Truck No.2 I call this one, Steel Haul.

Once again, this is a wonderful job. Thanks for the outline of how you did the effects, it's given me a few things to think about. I always thought I did quite well with my work then along comes something like yours to put it into perspective. Great job.

Kind regards of appreciation Mr. Hirakawa.

The steel plates were made from cardboard. Here is how I did it. The link to the article I did on it:

WOW...! Very nice.... I have a few big truck builds Id like to do sometime.

Another great rig.

Thanks for looking.

Another STUNNING truck model. I am in awe at your weather techniques.

I used to work at an engineer designing big rigs at Freightliner, so I know a few things about them. And have seen quite a few that have many miles on them. Your models are so very realistic. Fantastic work here, with an outstanding result!!

Thank you for your kind words. Great to read from experience real life engineers as yourself.
