The final tasks for this project are to sort out the cab windows and finish off the dirt and mud effects.
The muck on the windows is removed by dipping a cotton bud into white spirit and gently rubbing the glazing until the underlying Dullcote softens and comes off. I have deliberately not got right into all the corners to leave a film of dirt there.. The glazing can be polished with a dry clean cotton bud to finish off with.
Final touches to the dirt and mud involve abrasion to some areas to remove the surface pigment to reveal the differing tones underneath. Difficult to describe exactly how to do this, except to say, "Poke and see what happens!"
The filbert brush still has some pigment residue on it, so it is dragged across a few edges and corners to add that little bit of definition to the detail.
