Hulett Unloader - Part 6

Here’s a small update on the initial Hulett project. The “larry” car for the most part is pretty basic. It looks fine from the front and side, but it’s the rear of the car that’s missing substance (there’s nothing there). I know in most cases you won’t even notice it under the gantry. However if you were going to take any close-up pictures of it at any angle you might see it. Maybe I’m just being too anal. Any way I started detailing the area. As you can see from the attached photo there's a lot of stuff back there.

In the pictures you will notice that I began building the other Hulett. As I mentioned before I was out of paint so I couldn’t start painting the first one. Then I realized maybe I should build the other one so they can be painted at the same time. If they were built at the same time in history then the weathering on them would be very similar. I have built models in the past that were duplicates, but could not match the weathering techniques. In most cases there was a fair amount of time between construction when I tried doing this, hence the difference. These are going to resemble Hulett’s that are close to being retired. You know faded paint, grimmy and a fair amount of rust showing through. This is the part of the project that I’m really looking forward to. As you can see by the photos once their both done and installed it should make an impressive scene. Hmmm, now all I need is ship.
