As I noted, it also works great for the Fordson tractor tracks, use the impeccable castings provided by Brett in the kit for the impressions before you paint them.
It's also great for any general wheel and tire (or other) impressions, because my method keeps them clean.
really quick and easy method.
Pulled all the parts from their various places around this room, dunno how Brett packs this much stuff into one box, but, always thankful that he does.
So, now I need to make some progress and get this beauty finished so the desk is cleared for the next one. I'm looking forward to this...
I do love seeing all the finished castings laid out in front of me, able to see all sides of them clearly and admire them, but now its time to pull it all together.

Dark spot in the middle is where the plaster is still damp.
Put the base layer of dirt down at 11 this morning but it's still wet.
Hoping it dries out soon, I'm getting impatient just looking at it...

Still not quite dry yet which is really frustrating, at 7pm.
After doing the base dirt this morning I was really hoping to be gluing down some walls and details tonight and making progress ...
The (fake) Cat stamp only took 15 mins to make, so not a big deal in the whole scheme of things, hell, I've been waiting 7 hours for the dirt to dry so 15min is the blink of an eye. haha
Had a couple of really good motivational phone calls this week from two of the best modellers (and friends) I know so I was really fired up for a lot of progress this weekend. Oh well, I guess we still have tomorrow. Or maybe later tonight...
