Fantastic! The weathering is perfect. The chains really do look lightly rusted as you would see them.

Hi Frank, as I said last year in Frankfurt when I looked at the "WIP": Excellent, you're the weathering master! Now it just needs a trailer loaded with the Backhoe I never built

Re: Mack R-685

Excellent work, I'd love to built a R685 someday. Shame there are so few kits of Mack trucks.

Re: Mack R-685

That is a joy to behold! I've singled out the photo below as my favourite of the bunch - I can't see anything in that photo that leads me to believe I'm looking at a model, not a real truck. It's one thing to make a detailed model, it's another thing to make a weathered model - but you detail your weathering! The deposits of rust & muck are totally convincing and I am hugely impressed how you've made the bare metal parts looks so old & dull.
I hope you don't mind if I save those photos - there's a ton of inspiration in each of them.
