Hi Greg,
Thanks mate The ropes are only to form the creases they have been removed now. But your right they would have been far to big.

Hi Scottie
Looking good. I like the used and abused tarp - seems that would be the case in reality.
Jim

Thanks Jim glad you like it.

Not getting a lot of time at the bench, but have managed a little bit. I have attempted to make some tarps and bed rolls. Please ignore the twine it will be removed it was used to pull the putty in ready for the straps to be added later. The large tarp on the side has a hole in it as the more observant will have noticed it was my mistake but I actually like it adds a bit of wear.
Thanks for staying with this.

I have put the assemblies together now luckily apart from a bit of a wrestle with the MG ring it went together well. I still have the MG ring support pole to fit. But I have started adding some clutter to the inside still have lots to do but I am happyish with the way it is going.

To those who are not bored stupid and still following I have finished the tarp and bed rolls. They have been painted in various greens for a bit of contrast. next masking tape straps were added with etch buckles. They were then secured through the lashing hoops with cotton. They are a bit shiny in the pictures but the whole build will be dull coated when completely finished. I have also added a bit more to the interior but still more to go in.

Looks very good Scottie.

Looking good there Scottie...I think stowage on a vehicle, done correctly, really adds life....it’s a great looking vehicle too:thumb2:

Whose bored Scottie? Tarps make the vehical look lived in. Let me tell you...my first Tamiya kit was an M60A1 but my second was a halftrack, the one with the mortar and pintle mount 50 cal. My tree trunks were plasticine with asparagus ferns for pine trees then...how time flies.:smiling2:

Cheers,
Richard
