wow, great work !

what i really like about it, is the natural look of it - the colors and especially the rust/wear/tear. it's not over the top like on almost every other game model out there. so if people say "needs more dirt" plz don't add some :D

definately inspiration folder stuff ! :)

It looks unnatural to me. I see these sort of things on a weekly basis in a scrapyard so whilst they arn't the cleanest, there are about 20 in varying states of decay.

Yours looks brand new that has been scratched up, rather than used. Round where all the hydraulic pipes (which should be black anyway not yellow) go should be black and dirty where fluid has leaked out and dirt stuck to it. There should be soot and exhaust based dirt round the vents (these get filthy within minutes). Mud on the footplates where you get in the cab etc. Dirty hydraulic ram arms with really clean vertical streaks where the fit isn't quite right so it rubs them. Mud flicking up from the tracks would stick to the underside of the bodywork too.

The tread area looks bare as its got that plate covering the bogey wheels, so can either keep it real or remove it to make it look more interesting or cut "access" notches into it.

ginger: Can you elaborate on what this means "The tread area looks bare as its got that plate covering the bogey wheels, so can either keep it real or remove it to make it look more interesting or cut "access" notches into it."
