Just some progress of my 39T super weathering with rust. Just have to reeve the load block, reattach the boom stops and put the rust on the carrier.
I plan on attending the open house and I will bring the 39T with me.

Great weathering job. The only complaint, the cab floor is too clean. It needs some dirt and caked mud in in the cab.

Colin, I'm not finished yet. Just showing some progress. It's on the to do list though.

Wow! That's amazing work. I've ran quite a few of those old 3900s. Most of them looked just like it.

Grease your damn machines! Just Kidding. It looks great!

Nothing runs like a deere with a cat on its back but the link belt ate both of them

I thought that you might do this. I just wanted to make sure that this detail was added as well. For what it is worth, it could pass off as a full scale crane. The detailing and the weathering are just that great.

A+ job so far man.
I love how you got the red paint to look like the typical pinkish white powdered fade as well as the rust splotches.
Awesome.

Out of this world! When I thought you couldn't better your previous weathered models and you come with this! Absolutely outstanding.
