Just a few shots to show the EZ line in place for the cables. The end of the exhaust has also been drilled out.

The wing mirrors were replaced with copper wire and pewter as the originals were very weak. The lamps on the cab had a pewter disc added as there is no lens either moulded or in clear?

cheers

Hi Scottie
Looking great. A really good idea to use EZ Line for cables, very effective

I mean, really, brake cables??

Jim, I don't know why I haven't thought of it before.

The work continues by adding a few details. The kit comes with etch locker lids but they are hopeless so added my own. Showed one open not that you will see much as the gun platform will hide most of it. The ammo locker? had the solid handles removed and replaced with wire. The top panel was scratched as there was a nasty crease in the kit part.

The gun pedestal also received a tweak.

cheers

Thanks mate I noticed they looked like new icons or whatever they are called.

Yeah, I think we have been reformatted and I'm talking to John about getting it fixed.

It looks like the reply format has also been played with. I can no longer high light each response and then reply to each in one go.

ok I have found out how to do it.

The slow work continues. I scratched a crew step from strips of plate and PE deck plate to replace the kit one which was broken and again soft on detail.

The ground anchors have also been done. I may take a few out later and use them on the feet.

cheers
Scottie
