tiking Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Been building and weathering this little guy, for a diorama I am presently working on. I used the sponge technique for the chipped areas as well as a sharp X-to hobby knife. I used light dust, and dark brown colors from Citadel. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klubman01 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Great workmanship. A very convincing model, well done. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco F. Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Great looking forklift, I like it and the weathering is real. Which scale and who is the producer? Might be interesting for a lot of us just because this forklift might be a good sidestory for some diorama ideas... Marco F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Very well done! I love subjects like this. Is this 35th or 24th scale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef N. Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I drive a similar one of these at work and this is pretty much spot. (Ours is a gas operated with a mangled seat. The only differences really.) Top work Tiking, lovely modelling.👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably will redo the seat later when done with the rest of the vehicles that will be on the diorama. Glad you liked the reaults. 4 hours ago, JeroenS said: Great!!

stevehnz Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I occasionally drive a small Hyster about this size in the course of my job, the knocks, dings, bumps & scrapes on this ring very true for that one too. Nicely done. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one at my work, whose seat is not that mangled up. Although, it's full of little scratches here and there, but not as much as I protrayed here.
