JasonMasco, They were a mix of plastic structual shapes, some brass, and parts that I needed a lot of, a master was made, the a mold was made from that. Then I cast all I needed with resin. The tires on the 3900T are from a kit, but all the hubs were scratch built.

Who are you, and where did you come from? The work that you've posted recently is unbelievable. I don't build construction models, but I do some airplanes and ships, and I can really appreciate your mastery of the art. I would particularly like to compliment you on your weathering. I don't think I've seen it done so well. All to often modelers overdo it or don't really understand what they are trying to achieve. This includes many examples I've seen in FINE SCALE MODLER magazine, but you really have it right.

I cant believe its been a lil over 2 years since that was posted up. Seeing his work is what inspired me to weather mine. He does the best that Ive ever seen. Does born2lift still get on?
