Judge 1
The scratch built trimmings add some nice finesse to the model, and the additional stowage also contributes greatly to the overall impression. Tonal variation of the finish is beautifully subtle. A wash to enhance the corners and recesses a bit more may have been helpful to add just a little more depth to an otherwise excellent finish. On a future project, try masking the windshield in the area that the wipers would traverse, prior to “dusting” it. I think you’ll like the extra bit of realism this adds. Photography is good, but the composition would be enhanced by a single toned background of some sort. The wood grain tends to draw attention away from the model a bit. Very nice work! Wayne.

A very well detailed model with in scale features. The pre-shaded finish is very well done, one possible improvement would be some subtle paint scratches / chips. Well done!
Judge 3
A neat, tidy and precise build making very good use of simple stowage items and tiny added details. Excellent shading on the base paintwork brings some interest to areas that might otherwise be monotonous. Detail painting is very fine and picks out the extra work done on this model to best effect. Weathering is realistic, the stowed tools looking very heavily used and the tarpaulins nicely worn. Some scrapes and scratches on the wooden bodywork might improve the finish.
