This one was done 20 years ago, when the kit was hard to find. tired & worn out, converted the DM-600 to a U-607ST in Transcon trim. Blown out driveline, rust, dents, and all sorts of age. Ap40 Attachments:

Thats a pretty cool build. What did you use for the oil spot on the rear of the trans?

Overall the weathering is a mix from all genres of scale modelling. From Railroad to military to aircraft to trucks. The Rust-all system was used extensivly, as were severl home brew washes & grime. finely ground pastels & airbrushed mists of dust.

It's like I always say, "If it ain't weathered it ain't been working!"
Nice build.

Ryan,
If you go to one of the other Forums like the Truck Stop and look up my Lidgerwood, I gave a instructional on how I weather. It might help you out. But remember I use Acrylic and not powder. Whole different ball game. You will also find the Numbers listed for the paint I use.

Much of the weathering techniques i use are from military modeling. To really get a feel for the final look you want, spend some time studing real life in junk yards, bone yards, acutal equipment.
Here in northern NY state, in the winterime, the road crews spread copiuse amounts of road salts to keep the roads clear for all those who drive cars & SUV's. so this salt eatc & rots up everything, fast. body cancer is easy to model once you see how it looks.
I will go into this process further in the tips & techniques area later.
