Hi all, Got some color on this and back together a few hours later.........now comes the fun part. It's the details and weathering........... ........as I am going to make this one look like it has been in the war....stay tuned. Rick H.
Thanks......this one is getting the works. I'm hoping I can make it look used pretty hard. Still waiting on some trailers I have on back order....otherwise I'll be building one of those next from the leftovers.

Hi Jim, glad you like her......yeah, I'm gonna turn her into a tough old gal and play dirty with her........I'm still thinking about leaving the tarp off and just have a load in the bed maybe with a partial tissue paper tarp.......jury's still out on that one.

Thanks JR.....I wish the price you pay for these was a Toy price. Sometimes I have to cut up three vehicles just to get the parts needed for one.....can run as high as $60.00 USD but that's the price you pay to make this stuff happen. It can be rather challenging at times, but I wouldn't do it if it wasn't so Darn much FUN! Rick H.
Thanks Neil and Andrew, glad you like it. As I have been saying, l plan to dirty this one up so once I get some washes on I'll seal it with a dull coat and start the weather process. Cheers, Rick H.
Afternoon/Evening, here is a shot of what I'm sort of after, but not quite as "knocked about" as this. (photo for ref. only) Got a couple of washes on for now......next up a WH conscript decal on the left front fender and more weathering. Comments and Critiques always welcome. Rick H.
Thought I better close out this thread.......look for completed photos in the Completed Softskins section of the forum. Thanks to all who followed this build. Rick H.
