Hi  Richard, it was not a flu, I suffered a surgery, anyway now I feel much better.

 

I thank your kind words.

 

The winter has come here, now 5º Celsius, (today -1º to 13º Celsius), so I will not start my compressor. No paint job today.

 

Regards

Cesar

Hi my friend, many thanks...this project was never abandoned by me, it's a very unusual and interesting vehicle, I think.

 

Cheers :cheers:

Great paint job Carius. Some weathering will really bring it to life.

Weathering time:

 

The vehicles are used for vigilance and control of the most important Colombian highways. So, I can't leave the vehicle extremely dirty and worn out, but, on the other hand, I can't leave the vehicle completely clean as you can see in some pictures, because he would look like a toy. So, I used some common sense and applied a little dirt where logic called for it.

If necessary, some touches of the dirt effects can still be made.

Very well finished, as you say very well, weathering cannot be very pronounced, although you run the risk of looking like a toy, perhaps because of the light colors.
I think if you found references to dirtier real vehicles, you could "use" more ... lol
In any case, very good result.

Not something you see everyday and a superb bit of modelling indeed, just needs a couple of figures to set it off now ;)

 

Glad you like it, I will think about your suggestion.

Cheers

Thanks my friend, however I decided to do a more aggressive weathering, because honestly the final appearance of the work didn't please me.

 

So wait for the new photos.

 

It will look like a new vehicle.

 

Cheers Francis:cheers:
