Well I have been doing a lot of work on this since being back from school and this is where I am currently. The truck is a 1/25th Mattel promotional piece and the bed is a resin kit I got online. I have a lot more work to do like details and weathering but this is my current status. Enjoy. P.S. If anyone can give me good advice on giving it that dirty grimy job site look led me know please.    |

Now that looks good! Where did you get the utility body??
As for dirtying it up. Try mixing some light colored washes appplying them to the places that would get dirty.
OR ask William he is real good at weathering!!

Good combination of die cast & resin parts. For an overall dusty look spray with Dullcote, remove or mask the windows so they don't end up fogged. You can also leave the windshield in place and mask off the wiper paths, then Dullcote. This will leave two clear arcs where the wipers clean windshield and the rest will be dusty like the truck.

Ryan,
One way to gunge up your truck is to apply some road spray along the bottom of the cab and chassis by splattering mud coloured paint with an old tooth brush. Put a little paint on the brush and hold it under the side of the model near the wheels. By dragging your thumb across the bristles, paint will spray up onto the body like it was wheel spray. It only takes a little paint otherwise you get large blobs. This method also works for doing the windshield around the wiper masks. I does however make a mess of your thumb.

Ryan,
After you do the dull coat & the mud spray from underneath, pick up from Micro-Mark the "Rust-all" 4 part system. this stuff pools up nicely and helps to add depth to the object. it also has a black wash, so you can get into the highs & lows. The 4th step is my favorite, as it has some very fine tan dirt, use a fat soft brush (ladies make up brush works great) and give the lower 1/3 a good work over.
Also, what ever color you use for the mud spray & tooth brush, you should apply to the tread of the tires. then wipe it off the high spots of the tread where the rubber meets the road.

Hi. I like to use Tamiya's flat earth. Mixes with water, make really thin, spray with air brush, from below to get splashed up look. Use Q-tips to blot under side, blot, roll etc. Mix with baking powder for thicker mud. I even mask windsheild for wiper paths. If you want a wet look give a light spray of future floor wax. Future also makes excellent decal clear coat, drys fast, and is clear as water. Very glossy. Have look at some of my trucks on my site for weathering examples.www.dougsscaletruckreplicas.com Thanks Doug.
