Eric and I finished the chassis today........ When it dries off the wheels can go on. I think Eric is fairly happy with it.

I think Eric is saying "don't even think about it, those Ferrero Roche are all mine!" :P

Wheels are on ........... Onward with the bodywork........... And I just realised there are no clear parts with this kit. So I will either have to fashion some from something clear or no bother with the interior an put some opaque plastic behind the windows...........

Now that is looking top notch Peter ( really liking the weathering treatment, really does look sweet to me lots of time and patience in getting the look right.


Oh and for the model that's coming along too ( oh you knew I was talking bout Eric right?


Just kidding it's looking really well and good progress


:D

I've managed to get a bit more done........... the cab and load-bed are together . The cab can go on now. Then we can have some paint. I'll do the load-bed before I fit that. The canvas top is nearly finished and I've made a start on the gun. It has a single piece barrel so I drilled out the end a little as it looks better.

I knew I had lost a peg, now I know where it went!!!!


Really looking good Peter and I like the touch with the barrel.


The cab and flatbed looks good too ( shows the scale with the tweezers in the pic.

Thank Robert. Glad you like it. I couldn't leave the barrel with a flat end, that'd be a bit daft. :smiling3:
