Thanks for all the positive feedback. Found an interesting way to make the roof. My son had a school project a while back to make a mask. I used wood glue and mixed 1 cup cold wood glue to 2 cups water. Gave me the idea. Took a piece of cardboard, stripped the top layer from one side and painted it with the mixture. The water caused the cardboard to warp, giving it the curve. Placed it an oven at a low temperature until dry. Gave it a couple of coats until it was hard. And believe me, is rock hard and basically water resistant

That looks great! I think models usually look better in the context of a diorama, this is a good example. Lots of detail! I especially like your weathered corrugated steel.

Maybe you could do a diorama that you can use like a "set", to photograph your whole series of tractors?

To tell the truth I'm leaning towards the diorama idea myself. My first try at any kind of weathering though
