Excellent job so far. I really like the dash. The straight stacks & visor are a nice addition. Are you planning on detailing the Caterpillar 3406?

I like the realism of the used look. This tractor has real mileage behind it

Excellent looking 359. It came it really nice. Nice weathering. Did you dulcoat the chrome wheels?

Nope, just oil paints blended on to them, a black first to make them more polished aluminum looking. Then a dusty color for weathering
