I've got some stuff you add to paint to give it texture...I can't remember what it's called, but that should do the trick of caked on mud. I just have to get the wheels sorted before I do that so the color matches both on the wheels and on the body.
Just about there. I think all I have left is figuring out the wheels and then making the whole thing look like it's covered in dried dirt. Maybe add a few extras like a fuel can, shovel, maybe a rolled up tarp?
Got the M134 from Maurader a few days ago, removed the Predator-style hand grip with trigger and attached spade grips. Right now it's just held in place with a bit of wire, the ammo can, battery and ammo feed are loose. Added screen mesh to simulate that heavy metal grid type stuff you see on...
Did some more work. Cut the tailgate off and added more weathering, attached M134 mount. I don't know if you can see it, but in the pictures of the interior, I added holes to the upholstery of the seats and added cotton to simulate the "stuffing" coming out.
Had to cut the rear bumper off...
Anyone know where I could find 1:18th truck tires?
Yes, I've looked on eBay, Amazon and google, but I come up with nothing for normal looking 1:18th truck tires. I need to replace the ones on my Terminator resistance technical with something a little more off-road looking.
Well, I took a look around the internet and look what I found...images of the vehicles used in T2.
And what do they show us? The trucks have what look like metal sheets with slots cut out covering some of the windows!
Looks like I might be doing some of those after all. And now I wonder...
I had thought about doing the armor plate with slots cut out of it as you mentioned, but I figured that would cut down too much on the drivers vision. Plus there's probably not a whole lot a piece of iron or steel would do to protect any occupants from plasma weapon fire.
Yeah, I plan on adding rust to those areas, I just needed to get the base coat down first.
I do have an air brush, but it's a PITA to get it up and running just to add dust...BUT...it would be the easiest way to go about it.
