Mike, I ain’t telling...I forgot!

Mark, thanks.

Declan, I appreciate it, thanks.

Thanks, John! I had forgotten about that little friend.

Got some paint on it today.

got some paint on it. I need to do more rattle can magic on the bottom, though. I'm trying to weather this thing and am having a difficult time putting what I want into place....I guess you just have to work at it. I drank some smart water this morning and it didn't help.

Wheel carriage:

Image

"Landing Gear": I don't suppose anyone would have a set of four wheels? I want to have it with the wheels extended for now, but it will have to be retracted to hook to a tractor. I'm thinking I can scratch some skid plates to use.

Image

box..this thing is a booger to move around. I sprayed some black and then the white. I plan on hitting the hinges with Mig Streaking Effects Grime and some of the other "steel" areas with a touch of rust.

Image

I think the rear bumper should be fairly rusty.,

A big lady...

Me too John! And it's always good to see old Mr. Natural again!

Remember kids, always use the right tool for the job! And Mr. Natural sez, "It don't mean sheeeit!". :lol:

That's looking really good so far. I like the weathering on the wheel carriages, nicely done!
