Ok so I always start with the body ..

I want my truck to look less like a Tonka to so I'm having a go at making it look weathered..

I have added some water and a drop of soap to tamiya black acrylic and gone for it no idea what I am doing lol

Looking good sofar.

Surprisingly on most pictures these trucks always look pretty clean, its mainly the loadingbay that gets dirty :)

Like the paint effect. Fair play for trying it out, with no idea how it would work.

I'm going for a dirty old look .. You can follow me and see how it works out lol..

I should fill the bed with cement ..

I think is will need a mat varnish after but making it up as I go along lol ..

I have used some enamel on the air filter fronts , the grill and the front cabin window so far

Nice effect! Especially the front grill and wheels. Maybe get a little thinner and wipe the high points on the bed to get more contrast? Have no idea how it would react with the plastic though.

I think some areas will wear and show the yellow more with use .. A small run with emery would bring it out if needed ..

It's all suck it and see.

The enamel reacted a little with the laquer because it was not cured enough but gives a nice texture that I feel adds a little ..

I can always redo later if in not happy

Decals added

And washed over and clear coated to make them blend in

Brought it down to show my friends when they come and took a few pics in a decent light .. Looks more like the actual colour now on the pics .. LED lighting can make things look odd

Brutal! You wouldn't think that was a new kit 5 minutes ago! Definitely a coal mine dumper, I hope the driver kept his windows up! B) B) B)

You could fill the bed with something light like chunks of painted polystyrene glued together or expanding foam or something that's really light :)

I like the idea of something light in the bed got me thinking .. Better start the building soon .. Bit more painting first

Coming on nicely bud. Tyres are gonna look strange all new and shiny! Will look good once they've lost their box-fresh sheen.

That looks great so far, and I think it will look even better with use, as the weathering wears off the high points and the tyres get a bit of genuine dust on them.

Looking forward to the next update!

I'm surprised how well it turned out tbh. Well done I must say. May I suggest that you spray bomb the inside of the dump box with Testors model master metalizer. Or somthing similar from Humbrol or Tamiya. Again good job
