Farmall Model "C" 3D Print HO Scale
Painted and weathered up this excellent 3D print from Brett. Part of his tractor line. The details are exceptionally well printed and robust, even in my clumsy fat fingers.
You definitely want to use the lightest primer you can on these to maintain the details. I was out of the Rustoleum Camo Black so used a substitute that was "made for miniatures" from the wargamers side of the hobby and it went on way too thick.
Including a few pics "in situ" to show how you can really build a scene around these prints. Eagle-eyed viewers may be able to tell the kit that was used for this WIP diorama. I am putting the finishing touches on this one this week (mainly taking pics and then fixing all the mistakes from there-- note the bed of the coal truck) then it is on the Logging Camp Diorama.
Received the updated Donkey Repair Yard a few weeks ago and finally tracked down an Essentials kit all the way from Australia. Will start a new thread soon once I get a wall or two of the Hotel from Main Street up.

Looking forward to your build thread on the DRY, Essentials, and Main Street!
And thanks Brett. Very excited to get started on those as well. Missed building a SWSM these last few months for sure.
Thanks for sharing with us. Im also looking forward to seeing your work on the kits.
