Hi all,
Knowing I have an interest in dirty models, Tim David told me to build
this well kept delight. I’m
relatively pleasedish with what I made but would be interested in hearing
other peoples ideas on how to improve it as I know it’s far from perfect.
If anyone has any ideas of how I can make it look better I’d love to hear
them. Feel free to add notes on the
Flickr picture.

Nice job Tim.
The improvements I imagine :
- Colors : replace yellow by tan. The colors must be washed out.
- When I look the original picture, the first thing which comes to me is the vertical lines, resulting of the rust which flown. I will translate this by using SNOT. Lot of plates in SNOT 90 in various colors (different browns, different greys, sand blue...) will bring a good texture. Using some tiles instead of plates will add a piece of relief thanks to the grooves (some people at BF06 should know that grooves can have effects on texture :) )
- For the lower white part, the use of Technic brick with brown Technic pins ( I didn’t check if they really exist, but with CAD, everything is possible) will simulate round iron stains. Furthermore, the hole of the pin can represent a hole in the steel.
My little brick
A CAD file would be welcome ;)
