I was given this new LM 841 to weather for a friend of mine, Rickard Algotsson. I decided to give this 1:50 scale model a go. It's a beautiful model with great details. Surprisingly enough, it is not made completely out of metal but the body part is mostly plastic. The arm connectors and joints, and all the small details are made from metal. An amazing piece, I must say. The only addition in respect to details is the antenna.I painted the hydraulic coupling ends silver to give the appearance of actual couplings and painted the exhaust stack, silver as well. I weathered the folks using a combination of rust, smoke to make the forks look rusty, like most of the reference photos I saw. For the rest of the model I used the sponge technique, very carefully, all over the model.
As this was a 1:50 scale, I had to try and control my hand movements as this was a smaller scale compared to what I was used to. The results is what you see. I've posted the original model, before weathering, and photos after the weathering was completed. I think, with the great details the model has already, I've managed to enhance them, making them pop even more.
Before weathering:

The man is a master at weathering! I would love to see you do a step-by-step guide sometime.

Thanks. I am going to try and do a how-to when I know how to a youtube video. :)

Damn, that looks quite real. If I wasn't told that was a model, I'm not sure I could tell from the pictures.

Indeed. And that is saying summat for a 1:50 scale model! Amazing work :smiley:

Even just a post with a series of step-by-step pictures would be fine.

^ what Greg said ^
In 1/35 or even 1/24-1/25 scale, this would have been a pro finish. At 1/50 it's just amazing!

Looks very good. Top work

Wow! Hard to believe they're the same model. Looks like the clean one is the 1/50 pre-assembled desktop "inspiration" model, the dirty one the 1/25 "serious" model. 8)

Nicely put! :smiley:

LM 841 is so dang over the top it gave me weathering build concept. Star Wars Imperial Walker with heavy use or abandoned and deteriorating like we see in armor pictures.
