I never lost the enthusiasm for model tractors that I had when I was a young lad, but until recently didn't have any tractors in my collection. I acquired a number of 1/12th scale Franklin Mint diecast tractors on Ebay which, to my eye, are painfully clean and shiny. They all have a few glaringly obvious screwheads and other detail compromises. This is my first attempt at making one look a little more world weary.

My 1:16th dioramas are now on permanent display at the Canada Aviaion and Space Museum,in Ottawa,Canada.The apprailals for the museum were done by Shep Paine who valued them at between $15,000 and $25,000 (US) each.

I swear I thought I was looking at a real tractor. That's a masterful job of weathering

My grandfather had one of these....he was asked not to drive it on sealed roads.
Nice job of weathering
Very nice weathering

Dave,
The rust was my first attempt at using a product called Scenic Rust by Deluxe Materials. It is actually ferrous particles in a suspension compound which is applied, left to dry, then activated - so it actually rusts. It might be a bit coarse on smaller scales, but seems to work OK at 1/12th. I'm planning to do a completely rusted out Farmall at some stage.
