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.

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

Richard, Glad your not bored, and your right when I consider what I used to build and now. The improvements are all down to following great builders like your good self.

Hi Scottie
Looking good. Up to your usual high standards. You always seem to plan your builds so well - you may not see your own work that way but it comes across in your blogs.
