Pigments are another nice way to weather, really easy. Put them on with white spirit, let it dry, brush a little, done!







I think this is the ultimate 'dusty' look, best method I found so far.

MP,

I keep saying to myself "why doesn't he leave well enough alone"? But I can see why, you keep making it better and better all the time! Not sure how that's even possible, but you surely have the "Master's Touch"! I especially love the shaded rust on the threads of the chained bolt thingy!

Cheers,
Eric.

I was again looking at your photos and noticed a U-joint lined up with a hole right through the whatsamajiggit cover. That must be a power-take-off from the flywheel for some kind of accessory, like, say, a generator or pump? No?

Can you point out what you mean on a photo?

Maybe this will help. I tried to identify what seems to be a filter? coolant overflow can? with a hole through it aligned with the U-Joint on what I think is a power shaft.

Ah, yes, look at this:

Love the edges. Looks like real metal. How do you do that. Just needs some oil over it now

Hmmmm... Rather empty!

Better!

You certainly rank highly among the super realistic detailers! Beautiful eye candy.

"Ah, yes, look at this." So it's all for the starter crank! Wow, I was so fooled I had it backwards! I am used to the kind of starter crank that just runs under the radiator to the front pulley of old farm tractors. This is a bit more complicated.
