WeatheringOn with some weathering:
After I apllied a layer of gloss cote over the decals and the roundel, I sludged a wash of dark brown oil paint in all nooks and crannies of the Thorneycroft. Aftyer wiping the surplus of it looks like this.
Then I applied some dried mud to the wheels and tyres, using Humbrol 118 US tan.
The truck body was drybrushed with different browns and sand colours to highlight the details. A bit of mud applied around the mudguards. (That's what they're for.)
The crane jib drybrushed.
The crane body.
And the rear suspension after drybrushing and bit of of mud.
Then I covered all subassemblies with a matt cote and dryfitted everything together to get an impression of were its going.
It looks almost ready, but there is still some work to be done: glazing, crew, tools and stuff, glueing everything together, touching up, etc.
So, I will continue with glueing some subassemblies together..
