Started with the engine first. Monochrome paint job and generous use of some oil stain effect and my new airbrush give it a worn, industrial look

Rolling chassis complete. I used Tamiya putty mixed with acrylic paint to achieve the mud effect.

Custom decals, made just on my inkjet printer at home. Took more iterations than I care to admit to get the background color to match.

Some carefully cut masking tape placed on the windshield before airbrushing givens a nice effect.

A few sprigs from the thyme plant in my window were used here and there for forest debris details.

I am not a truck fan at all but this one here looks great. In my opinion the perfect amount of weathering 👍

Insanely good! Love the superb detail. I just started the rig just for practice. What type of paper is used for printing your custom decals?

Brandon H
Thanks Jarrett! You can find waterslide decal paper on Amazon pretty easily, and I've found that a fair number of hobby stores carry it as well. They make it in both clear and white. I don't remember the brand I used here, not the cheapest, but certainly not the most expensive. More important than the quality of the paper is the quality of the sealant - I've had good luck recently with Liquid Decal Film from Microscale.

Jarrett, you can get photo etch, for this kit. Pretty sure that it's Detail Master, but I could be wrong?

Bozzer's right - Mack Truck Photo Etch (Detail Master DM 2562, 1:25)
