Dutzie Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 After a long weekend of building, finally got paint on the dozer and lowboy. Transtar will hit the paint booth tomorrow. The dozer is mocked up to check fit.
gotnitro? Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 Nice looking red color on the dozer ! I see your using the vallejo paints , good to see how they work. I've been slowly switching over since model master discontinued. The metal colors are my next purchase
Dutzie Posted January 9, 2022 Author Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Transtar is painted. Now to start the small detail painting, decals, and weathering. Edited January 9, 2022 by Dutzie

I tried to vary the tones by changing the primer colors. I will be using those paints extensively on this build. I will keep you updated. 1
kuhnj Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Looks great! The red looks super nice. Can't wait to see this one progress.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 Internationals always look good in red!! I like it!!
Sam I Am Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 I have a rebuilder dozer for a future project, so will be following.
Mopar - D Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 Nice progress Brian. Wow you’re working all 3 builds at the same time. I have to build one at time lol.
Dutzie Posted January 16, 2022 Author Posted January 16, 2022 Had a decent night at the bench tonight. Got decals and started the weathering on the dozer, got the wood painted on the lowboy and she’s up on wheels. Applied the decals from the Western Star wrecker to the International cab. Still a lot of weathering yet for the dozer and trailer.
Mopar - D Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 Awesome progress Brian. Your weathering on the CAT looks spot on.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 Oh man that looks good!!! The dozer looks Awesome!!

Still a lot of weathering yet for the dozer and trailer. I added some more weathering to the dozer and trailer. I built the ROPS and winch and they are in paint. Tracks have the initial color on and I will start the weathering process. I will reattach the chain hooks once I decide the final resting place for the dozer I have ordered chains and binders to secure the dozer to the trailer Edited January 17, 2022 by Dutzie

Dutzie Posted January 18, 2022 Author Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) Printed this sprue holder over the weekend. It should help clean up the bench as I build. Edited February 6, 2022 by Dutzie
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 This just keeps getting better and better! You do some great weathering! I like the top for the dozer! Excellent work going on here!

bigred63 Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 Brian, what a great looking parts holder you printed! Well done!
