Volvo L150C Wheel Loader

Volvo L150C Wheel Loader: Lightly weathered to give me a used look rather than an abused look... with and without ballast load. Also a soiled Mercedes Benz Econoliner dump truck conversion. (All in HO scale)

A weathered no name dump truck conversion...

Parachute Water Tank

I have scratch built my own realistic SAR parachute water tank to HO scale.

Scratch building progress... card stock, 
cardboard tube and plastic tubing.

Some activity going on there, 
painted the brass etched ladder.

Lightly weathered parachute tank and 
lattice. Made use of matte acrylic 
aqua paints.

Flood Lights

Installed realistic looking flood lights on Bokomo building... Miniature SMD LED - warm white - was a mission de-soldering from strips and connecting these LEDs with wiring inside the building. Just the flux (luminous intensity) I wanted. These were left overs from my Kitchen makeover. (Nice weekend project) (we keep it simple and use the components as supplied per LED strip light)

Perfect for HO 1:87 scale flood lights...
