Those crawlers just look fantastic, terrific finishes on them.
Now I see the photo, although it is painted black,I have to do something about the reflection on the hood. Must be the acryl in the Valejo paint that gives the reflection
The forge fire is done with two leds that go softly on and off ( Xmas things)

The lighter side of the hood looks natural to me, even flat black metal stuff looks like that when light hits it. Also the 'glow' under the hood from the fire looks right too.
It is however your model and you have a better view in person to gauge what you want. I have no doubt that whatever you decide, it will look amazing.

Thanks for the update and stunning new photo of the Logging & Tractor Repair Shed forge. More inspiring modeling for us to enjoy. As always, I look forward to your next installment(s) showing us your build progress.

Karl, you are right, it is ok like this. I am not gonna change it.
This detailing is so intens. Although it takes an enormous amount of time, it is such fun to do. Really enjoying it so much.
Come on people, share your builds with us all.
Soon more pics.
I haven't posted progress on my RRC for awhile as I've been working on another of my books but plan to be back very soon.

(and the rest of us builders that are here to learn from each other)
please do not be intimidated, we are ALL here to improve. There is no
judgement here, only help and advice.
I'll comment further in another thread to allow Roberts excellent build to
continue here un-interrupted

Anyway, another amazing kit from SW which gave me so much fun to build.
To bad that of all the interior details, so little is visible. (That's why I made the roof removable)
Now I can go and break my head over the next build..
Here some photos. Actually, there a lot of them....
Thanks for watching
Robert
When I took my first look at these pictures I thought that it was a scene you were attempting to copy not a model! The textures and coloring are fabulous. The photography and lighting of your subject are top notch too. I cannot compliment you enough on your accomplishment here.

Ed, yes I did. I believe that , when your time has come , and the Great Buffalo will call you to join him, you will go in a guitar flight case....
The clutter scenes are so well laid out, grungy in most and I just love them...I like your consistent colors on the drums that are together. This is particularly noticeable on the grouping of the green and yellow ones.
Your wood color and texture is just wonderful.
Your dirt transitions are expertly done and quite difficult to pull off as well as you have here. Another glaring technique you have mastered is your use of the more bright greens on your grass and ground covers and the flowering shrubs. This has to be done well or it doesn't look very good and can appear "cartoonish"...not yours!...your work here is something I aspire to as I have been modeling at the other end of the spectrum...DULL!
Such a pleasure and a treat to peruse your work here Robert...well played.
Alan
Anyways, some interior impressions. The photos are not perfect, I lack knowledge and high end equipment, but you'll get the ..euh picture..
Thanks for your appreciation guys.
