Hugo Garcia
Edinburg, Texas
Hugo set about building a 1/25 scale replica of his old farm tractor, a John Deere 310 with a backhoe, starting with an AMT kit. He scratchbuilt the seat assembly, made new hydraulics, and gave the bucket out back some bite with new teeth. He painted the tractor Rust-Oleum Satin Harvest Peach and created the well-used appearance with pastels and washes. The base is made from wood, Celluclay, and static grass.
