Thank you. This a long term build between River Road and other Dioramas. I do plan to finish it but I only poke away at it during the summer months here and there. Cheers.

Boomer, this was the best hour and twenty minutes I have spent in some time. I have an AMT D8 kit that I will be trying your suggested weathering approaches on as I finally start construction. The kit has been in the closet for over forty years. Thanks for the inspiration. You have the best web site for a fellow boomer to escape to on occasion. I like the fact you flow effortlessly through different scales and subject matter.

Thank You John. That is a cool kit you mentioned if it's the one from AMT which I believe. I had it in my hand the other day . . . lol. I was thinking of a "bush" cab modification on it as well. Have fun with it! Cheers.

I was hoping to see another video this week. Thank You Boomer! Fascinating detail on the trailer. It's interesting to see how technique is basically the same if the proper steps are followed. The air lines and engine detail are a really nice authentic touch. Also, how to make cable clamps- I never would have thought of that! Having driven several different make of trucks back in the early 70's the model brings back a lot of memories. The early 1970's were a magical time for large truck design. Cheers

Absolutely fascinating build series. I just subscribed to your channel and will be following your build series on your AMT logging truck. Very informative. What a coincidence that you and myself use and include model railroad items in our current big rig builds. I believe you mentioned you were in either O scale or HO for many years. I was in O scale going back to the mid 80's and made a great and enjoyable living pursuing my hobby back then. Thanks for posting your build series.

Welcome aboard! Thank You. I love your silhouette "avatar" as well! There will be another part 3 next on the tree build. Then, I have to suspend the series for awhile because of my commitment to the primary HO Scale 'River Road' Diorama Vlog. I will revisit this series again soon. It is just the nature of my building process moving forward on the channel. I hope that doesn't disappoint you. Cheers ~ Boomer.

Was just wondering, have you ever used the Dirty Down products, Rust, Verdigris, Moss? They used to be called Modelmates Weathering Liquids many years ago, then they stopped selling to the modelling community. They were alcohol based, and after applying you reactivated them with a wet brush, sponge, cloth to achieve the desired weathering you were after. They re-launched under the Dirty Down brand in similar size bottles to the Liquitex inks, 30ml or so.

@boomerdiorama2 жыл бұрын
I use a "rattle" can like Tamiya "Flat Coat" # PS-55, usually, when I dull coat. I recycle all my Tamiya paint bottles. They clean up good in a jar with Isopropyl Alcohol then washed up with dish detergent. Save them all. They are good quality glass bottles. Otherwise check your local hobby shop and they can provide bottles as well from other manufactures. I also find prospecting and gold panning supply stores to be excellent for small glass bottles.
