Michael Smith titled these photos of his Woodland Scenics dozer and loader, very appropriately, "Rusty Dozers." He acquired these in an eBay auction lot and they were missing the control levers, so he decided to build them as two pieces of equipment parked after long years of use and left to rot! Controls covered with old tarps and other debris… BUT, there is some hope, an enterprising mechanic has toted all manner of tools to their side in hopes of getting them started! Both are covered in chalk weathering, dull coat and washes. The tarps are lens cleaning paper painted with PollyScale earth and soaked in water. Detail photos of the tracked loader are below.
