Work continued on the hull. I removed the thick featureless offerings from the hull, I should have done this before I started work on the drive train and suspension.


These were replaced with etch offerings which look a lot better.



All the linkages and springs were added. The detail is not good but as most will not be visible when finished and will be dirted up.



I had to remove one of the etch brackets as it was slightly out of position and unfortunately it pinged off never to be found so I scratched one out of pieces of styrene and as I said it will get dirted up.



cheers
Scottie

Cracking Paul, those etch parts look so much better than the kit mouldings.

Hi Scottie
Those etch brackets looks far better. Your replacement for the one stolen by the carpet monster is excellent. It is often difficult to place PE parts correctly. The carpet monster will probably return the pinged off piece now he has had a good chuckle watching you crawl about on the floor and then waste an hour scratching a replacement :rolling:

Jim, Thanks mate luckily It was basically just flat pieces that needed putting together. I could hear him chuckling and I will probably find it when I am not looking for it.

very neatly executed... love it..

Annoying when bits go flying to infinity and beyond but scratched replacement looks good - just missing the corner infill pieces at the top corner of each side (bottom in the upside down photo)

Great work. I don't know if it's a scale thing or what, but those drive shafts looks tiny, for moving such a beast along. OK, there's a few, sharing the load I suppose.

They weren’t all that thick on the real vehicle:
