Evening Mr Smith, looking top notch already, some great photos, bit concerned by one though it appears as if you had a fire in the room and it was full of smoke. Can't help it I notice anything that might be to do with fire :smiling:
Those decals next to the driver , wow very neat, pity we won't see them later.
Hope Rach and the Dragon are well, C sends her love.

OK then Guys,.....
...... I`ve actually made some sort of progress!:flushed:
As this thing is practically a closed box,i haven`t gone very far with the internal details,and also,due to the dingy light when it`s buttoned up,the painting is a bit garish! Anyway,`ere`s what i ended up with.........
IMG20210817193615.jpg
Don`t worry,that`s high focus,and i`ve added some stock equipment in there,although i did make the radio with lead and mick!! Anyway,here`s that lot viewed from the rear.....

Looks quite rough i know,but when you do THIS......

Basically "Putting the Lid on",the inside transforms into this.......
IMG20210817195500.jpg
and finally for now,the very End on pic..... it`s far from well detailed,but when it`s on the Dio,the bits that you will actually be able to see,should be passable:flushed: .......
IMG20210817195652.jpg
So there we are up to now ..... it`s still an enjoyable build,although maybe i`m not giving it enough respect as i would if doing it as a stand alone build!
No matter what,i`ll give it my best shot.... so watch this space.....:thumb2::rolling:;)

Andy, that's more than enough eye candy for the interior and dio. TBH not much could be seen even on the real thing I saw at AWM museum. I'll post a pic of the same angle...lighting also plays a big role in it as well.

Cheers,
Richard

So then guys,
I hope you don`t mind me explaining all the distance shades of colours that i`m using here... problem that i have regarding that is........
..... I`M NOT REALLY INTERESTED IN ALL THAT BOLLOC ...... STUFF,
...... it`ll be a,(Hopefully),nice little Diorama set on a shelf in our house,that,(Despite you lot that have a proper eye for these things),SO.... as far as i`m concerned,if i can get it similar to what i`m told is correct,painting wise.....that`s good enough for me:thumb2:;) !!
Here we go then,for anyone that still follows me ......
..... an update will be forthcoming!!.....

Andy,
Now we're beginning to get competitive (NOT!) - that's excellent! What say we agree a common theme in the near future and model different aspects of that self-same theme? I love that interior! Well done mate!

Obviously there`s more to come for these two,and the "Extras"!.... But i`ve weathered them similarly for the base.... and the grilles had to be done for the Sheridan:dizzy:,normally i wouldnt use this nylon crap,but needs must!!.....
:thumb2::thumb2:
IMG20210821170918.jpg
SO,not excellent...... but it`s a means to an end.....
..... and pretty soon i`ll get it all together!!:thumb2:

Hi Andy
Interior looks great. It will most definitely look fine through the back door and as part of a dio.
Jim

Great to hear from you BTW,i trust that you and Mrs.Jim are doing well:thumb2:,
