      Hi,

      This is (again) a very impressive work.
      Although they all deserve it, I can't comment all your works but this one's theme being different from the others, your talent is even more obvious. πŸ‘

      I just can't wait to read a texturing tutorial! πŸŽ‰

          Brilliant - as ever...
          From castles to cottages... now to heavy plant...
          I feel another tutorial publication on its way ??

          My son works of the NE architects for Caterpillar's plant at Peterlee - just along the road from you.
          He was modeling the new entrance buildings etc and needed a big truck like that for a view [he ended up photoshopping it in] - you've made one that's just one size too big for what they want to have on display!

              Thank you for the comments 😳
              Nicolas, sorry I didn't have time yesterday and I'm away this morning for a week, but as soon as I return!
              TIG, small world. Last year whilst waiting for the wife (Dewhursts πŸ˜’ ) I sat watching the very building under construction. Had I known would have modeled the truck for him FOC of course.
              thanks again
              John

                          I used to drive a smaller version of this, it also had deployable railway bogeys ! As usual Tadema well done mate, this is giving me flashbacks to my Tonka days.

                                    Wow! First mansions, now giant trucks. What are you, some kind of over achiever? πŸ˜„
                                    Looks great, as usual.
                                    I would thing your method for adding rust to a truck would work for adding weathering to a building.

                                        Thanks for the dirt, John! A question or two, if not too dense.... so you are painting just colors not texture from the sample layer? Actually I am not totally clear, if you are painting how you end up with a rectangular texture. Thanks, if you have the time. Peter

                                          Thanks everyone.

                                          Hello Peter, sorry I should have taken more time with the PDF
                                          Page 2... Main Image with a texture image on a new layer.
                                          Page 3... Make a new layer, activate your texture layer and sample using the clone stamp tool with a brush of choice or sample a colour and use a standard brush. Activate a new layer and paint into it with the clone tool.
                                          Page 4.. Activate the Rectangle Marque tool { Ctrl M ). Activate the move tool (v) Now ( Ctrl t ) right click and choose whatever tool... Scale...ect
                                          Scale the new texture how you need it and place as required, then just make a new Layer and repeat.

                                          It's harder to explain than to show you, if ^ makes no sense I will make a quick video.
                                          Your on a Mac so I've no idea as you only have one mouse button???
                                          take care
                                          John

                                            Thanks John, that helps. I'll play with that.

                                            No, I've got like seven buttons on my mouse πŸ˜„ that I don't fully use. The Apple mouse currently has no buttons, I think.
