So, this week I've been mainly making AMTs old 1/25 Bulldozer, and it's rubbish. Luckily it's just a weathering test project. This kit sucks big time, like most AMT kits, they should be retired. Hopefully it'll look slightly better under rust, mud and chipping. Also some reference pics of rusty old knackered ones.

Adding stuff to make the rubbish old kit look a bit better. Plumbing pipes, and ignition wiring. It'll all be painted yellow, chipped and rusted. Soon it'll be mounted into what's laughingly called the chassis.

Work continues on the naff AMT Bulldozer. State of the art model engineering for 1969. Almost ready for paint, thankfully.

The painting so far on the 1966-1974 D8H 46A 20.4L 6Cyl Diesel engine. It does indeed look better with paint. First layers. Rust, and dirt.

Teeny tiny update on the rubbish old AMT D8h Caterpillar Bulldozer. Just dry fitting stuff, that doesn't fit. Almost looking like an actual dozer. I'll be scratching a roof, adding non working lights, proper radiator grill and other little details.

WIP continues on the naff old AMT Bulldozer. Experimenting and building up layers. Adding ink washes, just the first look see.
