Simon Nagorsnikthank you richmond- nice feedback from one who seems to be familiar with dozers 😁

Richmondours usually have a lot of mud /dirt /dust /grease but this would be representative after a pressure wash 🙂

Stefan FraundorferThe bulldozer looks incredibly realistic. Extremely good weathering.

Robin (WhiteGlint)Very nice figure painting and the dozer looks really great as well. Some sweet chipping and scratches.

Robin (WhiteGlint)Very nice diorama, Simon. 👍
And great figure painting skills. Do you work with acrylics or other paints on figures?

Simon NagorsnikHi pepe and whiteGlint, thanks for your compliments🙂
@whiteglint: I always use acrylics and oilpaints for my figures
The first step is a zenital pre shading(black, grey, white) for a better locating of the details and different shades
2 thin layers of the base color of each section, 2-3 layers of highlights are painted with acrylics
Normally i use a oil paint filter and while still the surface is wet i paint the shadows and highlights in the same way also using oil paints
Hope i could help you🙂

Robin (WhiteGlint)Yes, thank you. 🙂
Right now I still fear ruining my figures, because I suck with the brush.
Maybe I can work with a mix of both airbrush and paintbrush.

Simon NagorsnikSorry i forget to say that i only use the airb for pre shading.
The rest of the work is done by the paintbrush😅

Robin (WhiteGlint)Just means I have to get out of my comfort zone. 😉
And that I need to buy better brushes for stuff like that.

Simon Nagorsnik😁😁 the chipping is mainly done by using sponge technique and the paintbrush.
3-4 different layers of color ensure a quite reaslistik look, followed by some streaking effects.
a steady hand is really necessary 😉

Album info
A good kit from Tamiya with sharp details and clean parts.
If you want to have it more precisely, however, improvements must be made.
Also the figure from Res/Kit is cast in good quality.
