It may need some weathering but the 3D tractor is finished! All that I had to do was finish y=he painting and assemble the four parts that make up the kit. There were no instructions but even I could not go wrong!
Recording my progress, or usually the lack of it, in building kits, creating model railways and other related and sometimes unrelated matters!

Blue is the colour!
Feeling as though I was Scott of the Antarctic, which was possibly an over dramatisation of the coldness in the Man Cave but it was cold, some progress was made on painting the £D tractor print. Having actually turned the heater on, it was warm enough to airbrush some paint so undercoat was followed by painting the wheel centres white.
After that, the tyres were brushed painted. The separate mudguards and bonnet were airbrushed in blue whilst the main body has had a first hand brushed coat of the same blue which by this time matched my complexion with the cold!

Its cold in the Man Cave!
Well, it may not be the most exciting of posts but given the cold weather it was not the most hospitable of places in the M an Cave so my stay was limited to cleaning up the 3D tractor kit ready for priming. Not a whole lot to do, but a bit of sanding on the bonnet and rear mudguards together with removing some excess print material in a few places together with mounting the parts onto a board with masking tape means they are ready for some primer once I venture back out again!
