I made the same model a couple of years ago on a base entitled 'MOUSES NEW HOME'
I really enjoyed it and decided to get another, this one isn't a non runner but is battered and rusty-a work horse :D
I added some mats that I scuffed up and some decals in the engine bay, also scuffed up the tyres so they look used.
This is where I am up to at the moment, still loads to do with side panels and roof, it is around 80% finished.

Looking good Si! Are you adding mudguards? If so give them a darn good coating of mud. Humbrol Flat earth and talcum powder make a good mix to create muddy areas.

Thank you sir, appreciate it. Yes, there be mudguards to fit once I have the sides and back on. Thanks for the tip, I normally use pigments but I like your idea.

I learnt it from an old Mil mod magazine when enamels ruled supreme! He used the sludge from the bottom of the white spirit jar but I think flat earth is a better basis for mud.

Here she is all finished, there is a digger part but need some steel paint but, the tractor is finished.
PE parts for the FORD badge, mats added, decals to the engine bay and windows, weathered.
