Superb. Master-class.

Not underdone not overdone that happy place in the middle which I have found hard to achieve.

Now Ian could you let, at least me into the secret of "how to" on that tarpaulin. Just going to produce similar for a Landrover.

Just has another peep and just realised from the turn table it is on how intricate for its size. So nice.

A Fantastic build Ian, & I like the Oil Stains on the 45 gall. Oil Drums.

It does say in the build thread, Laurie, but as its you:

I just made the "cargo" from foam blocks cut to shape and stuck together with PVA. I have some 'work-shop' paper hand towel that has not pattern or embossing. I cut a square off of that and make it nice and wet with thinned PVA, drape it over and with a soft brush and more PVA brush the 'tarp' down into the cargo until you are happy. Let it all dry a day or two then paint.

Wonderful work Ian, really like this, it looks so simple yet is far from it when you take in the details.

Oil drums can be gotten most places, for things under a tarp, Any thing can be used.

Google a firm called "Black dog resin" if you want some amazing stowage sets....
