This chassis is not for the faint of heart there are a lot of pieces that require a lot of clean up and dubious locations. I have added a little detail to the springs and some air lines to the tank.
I have replaced these items on the back axle as the "spring" had a massive seam which was nearly impossible to remove. I say spring in inverted commas as they may be boggy blockers as the axle is sprung via normal leaf springs, or they may be indeed springs added to help soak up the recoil from the gun.
cheers

No, not really — your skill at building fine bits neatly is far greater than mine. I look at your pictures and wish I could do it like that

Hi Scottie
Looking good. Great scatchery.
As for the scratching skills of Jakko and yourself - in the words of John Wayne in Rio Bravo "I'd hate to have to live on the difference"

Cheers Steve I hope so, not doing to much to the chassis as most of it wont be seen.
Jakko thank you that is very kind of you to say.No, not really — your skill at building fine bits neatly is far greater than mine. I look at your pictures and wish I could do it like that

The build is slow but getting there.
The engine has received a coat of paint and has been fitted to the chassis, it will be weathered later. I have added cables using E Z Line to the brake levers but forgot to take a picture.
The cab sections have been assembled with the grab rails replaced with copper wire. After a pre shade it has received a coat of paint. The seats were devoid of texture so they were covered in a couple of Rizzla papers and white glue and will be painted dark leather.
cheers

Very nice Scottie. That idea of using Rizzla paper to texture seats is new but looks to work well. Possibly better than my method of using Mr Surfacer 500.

Nice going Paul ! Say, what is EZ Line ?
Can't remember how but recently stumbled across this hollow tubing for fly fishing lures. Anxious to use this for future engine detailing !

They work quite well and can be wrinkled or torn.
Andy, very kind of you thank you.
Hi Ron, this is the first time I have used it and I am quite happy with the results.

Did a little work on the cab, I won't do a lot as I Cannot find anything on the cab interior apart from a Utube video of a very complex gear shift.
