That's MAGNIFICENTLY weathered, and the truck is too....................

As a farm truck, works for me. Not beaten to death but plenty of character.

I have used that figure as well in a dio, he does have character

Thanks, guys. I think I'm calling this one finished.

In the afternoon sun:



I made 7 sheep. They didn't fit well. I put some liquid cement along the seams and used a stiff brass brush to pick at the plastic. I think that worked. painting was more complicated than I expected... I just stopped when they looked sheep-ish... I also added a rolled up resin tarp from Value Gear:





Unlike most builds, where most of the work is in the paint prep and painting phase, this one was the opposite. I spent more time fixing issues, obtaining tires and building the cab than I did with the painting. This was not a fun build, with the cab being the most difficult part. The finished truck is surprisingly delicate as well; the cab has come loose in the front three times already.

Something about a pig's ear and purses  .  At least it didn't go flying into a wall at a high rate of speed.

More than once I was tempted to see if it would fly. Or just slap some seats on the bare chassis and add the steering wheel and pedals.

Thanks for all the comments! Lisa liked it and maybe Felix will be encouraged to suggest better kits.

Maybe some scale sheepshit in the back?

Probably find Mini Art do some. They seem to do every other kind of mini diorama accessory in their range    Besides the farmer could be selling sheep's cheese

Very tempted. I have some course sand that would work if I painted it black.... but I'm afraid of picking that truck up.  I don't know how much extra handing that cab will take.

Chris, they also have these:



Although no mutton.

I'd not seen those Mini-Art figures, but that doesn't suprise me as they do so much it's easy to miss something.
