Morning chaps,

Progress has been a little slow of late as I have been involved in another (lathe) project, but I pushed forward a little more this weekend.

The cabin is now more or less completed. The seats, dash/firewall and rear wall have been added along with some of the components for the engine side of the firewall. I have added some more cabling around the roof of the cabin for the various electronic components, again artistic licence was used here to try and add some interest.

I added some chipping to the racking & steering column, and ingrained dirt around the footwells & floor, followed by a general dusting of sand pigments. I'm not sure if I'm happy with this yet so may go back over it again.







I couldn't resist a quick dry fit of the cabin, and as expected you will have to look hard to see a lot of the detail.

Hi Bob
Quality like this takes time so no worries about slow progress. That cabin looks superb and the weathering looks spot on to me.

Late again, sorry . Bob your paint work and detail is on another level. The engine alone would make a superb model .Really impressive.

Bob,
Well my flabber is gasted, what a great build so far, and the attention to detail is a credit to you. Will now go and sit quietly at the back and watch this masterpiece come together.
