Man thank you Jay The photo really helped. - Taking it all on board and this is where I am at now.



Did it with the balls to show the different shaders. I also included the shader settings.

1) Base yellow colour - Metal
2) Red Glass on top of loader with chrome ball on the inside
3) Cables shader
4) The pistons shader
5) The seat cover shader

Also did a quick render with the lights moving round the model to see how the light looks at different locations
