Komatsu G 40 Bulldozer-Finished pics 7/17

very realistic neglect...  

Marc I'm delighted that you got this one done so fast, I have a special interest as I have one myself. You can be proud putting this one on the shelf as its another beautiful piece.

Terry.

Thanks guys.

i like it. looks good marc wtg.

Great job Marc! Well done all around from the base, folage and the rusted dozer.

Andy, JM, Pat... thanks guys.  Appreciate the comments.

Beauty!  Love the "seat of the pants attention getters".  First rate all around.

Outstanding.

Marc, it looks great especially the plants!   I have to give them a try one day.  I only have one feedback to make it even better.  It is missing a rocket launcher...

Waikong, Eric, Bill... thanks guys.

Very nice work all around Marc, the seat in particular is a nice touch for the "wreck" character!

How refreshingly different Marc. Love that foliage too.

Cool! looks like the seat I use when I'm modeling!  I like the half broken seat back, nice touch.

Anthony, Herc, Buckeye, Waikong... thanks for having a look and for the compliments.

Here's a couple of seat pics

Very nice Marc, good weathering and love those plants. How about a closeup of the seats? I'm curious how they came out from your description, but can't see it clearly in your photos.

Awesome build!

Very nice build. Thanks for the tips on the base. Love the looks of the tractor.

Nice job on a subject you don't see every day,Marc

Mike, Steve... thanks very much.

 For the seat and back rest I took the kit part and burnished lead foil over making a hollow shell that I stuffed with rusty springs and tissue then ripped it open and started pulling it out..  

 The palm trunk is a piece of paint brush handle wrapped with string and covered with tissue and white glue.

 

 

 

 

Gotta give credit where it's due Marc;

Brilliant, gorgeous and innovative......  Love it!

Marc - It was worth the wait. Outstanding work on the base. Love the tree and the leaves. A true winner here....outstanding, all around

Rounds Complete!!

1st off let me say sorry for the late thank you to those that stopped in to have a look and make comments.  My modeling time has been sporadic at best lately. 

But I did manage to git 'er done!  Inspired by rick Lawlor's little gem , my take on the scene.  Neat little kit.  Did I say little?  It's freakin' tiny.   For the seat and back rest I took the kit part and burnished lead foil over making a hollow shell that I stuffed with rusty springs and tissue then ripped it open and started pulling it out..  the rest is OOB and at a a couple of dozen parts, if you sat down and really built one it won't take long at all.  2/3 of the total time was on the base.  The plants are from http://www.kamizukuri.jp/.  Laser cut paper that are simply exquisite.  The palm trunk is a piece of paint brush handle wrapped with string and covered with tissue and white glue.

Questions, comments and critiques as always are welcome.

Now, if they would just do one of these in 1/35.

Dang, Dang, Dang.

Marc,,,  This is turning out great... I luv these, more or less, off-beat subjects.

Excellent work,,,, 

Mostly,,,, thanks for sharing!

Bill

Nice work on the base Marc, the rusty hulk is going to be right at home there.

I know it's Japenese but every time I see it I think of the Fighting Seebees with John Wayne

Looking good. Love the rock work.

Rounds Complete!!

Aw man... I forgot about Zero wing thing. i would have placed it differnetly maybe a small piece of fuselage or a tail plane

Killdozer... Oh man!  I don't think I have ever seen Clint Walker in anything besides the Dirty Dozen.

Now all you have to add is an alien infested meteorite from space!  Like this......................
