Ian Doody AuthorSo, this week I've been mainly making AMTs old 1/25 Bulldozer, and it's rubbish. Luckily it's just a weathering test project. This kit sucks big time, like most AMT kits, they should be retired. Hopefully it'll look slightly better under rust, mud and chipping. Also some reference pics of rusty old knackered ones.

Ian Doody AuthorAdding stuff to make the rubbish old kit look a bit better. Plumbing pipes, and ignition wiring. It'll all be painted yellow, chipped and rusted. Soon it'll be mounted into what's laughingly called the chassis.

Ian Doody AuthorWork continues on the naff AMT Bulldozer. State of the art model engineering for 1969. Almost ready for paint, thankfully.

Ian Doody AuthorThe painting so far on the 1966-1974 D8H 46A 20.4L 6Cyl Diesel engine. It does indeed look better with paint. First layers. Rust, and dirt.

Zach Wilsonprops to you for tackling this kit, it is a piece of lukewarm garbage.

Ian Doody AuthorOh yeah it's totally crap. I'm using it as a weathering and painting exercise.
