I've had the pleasure of adding some scratch build details and weathering of some friends models as well as a small diorama. Here they are:

Weathering is a real art and you have nailed it on the head. I really love the D6T in the mud bog, fantastic work, your friend should be extremely happy!

Thanks rowan. These were experimental as I have never done weathering and detailing on dicast model before and wanted to try my hands at some. I've got another job weathering another model; a Keestrack Frontier tracked screener.

The farm tractors are actually 1:32 & 1:16. Yeah, I know, not exactly 1:50 but they are Dicast. ;)

I was asking because you have done an excellent job with the size of the leaves,grass,dirt,crud etc. It is difficult to keep the details in proportion to the scale of the models. Nice job!!!
