discussion Did you see them coming?

Again not a lot done and there are a few other things that are in progress but not worth a pic yet, not sure these are really but here they are.
Reworked the kits condenser with some pewter straps and a wire hose. I have added wires to the side lights but think I will do it again as they don't look very good in the pictures. Finally reworked the head lamp and removed the solid moulding and scratched a new one it looks long but is the same length as the original.

Nice going on the Chevro, Paul. Can't seem to shake it but I've seen the chassis in a similar angle, the difference is you re-did the bumper with pewter...how good is that. :thumb2:

Cheers,
Richard

Very nice indeed Paul. I admire your tenacity to get the detailing right. Look forward to seeing the new light. I hope all goes well with the rest of the detailing.

Thanks Colin, lots more to add. I know what I would like to do but don't always have the skills to do them justice.

Hi Scottie,

just been having a catch up - Jeep looks great. Hope mine turns out as good - also still have the 1/6 version to finish sometime

Detailing looks good on the truck :thumb2:

Hi Simon, Good to see you. I'm sure your efforts will surpass mine. Would love to see the big jeep on the go.

The cab is now pretty much finished, I now have to try and not knock everything off again. The air recognition mats were made from foil the frame from etch sprue, pewter and 0.6mm rivets. The Visors had the etch added but I didn't like the flat pivots so cut them off and replaced them with 0.3 copper wire. The sun compass was very basic so a little detail was added the scale was added from evergreen sheet and a length of wire the traversing mechanism from various bits of evergreen. I then added a chain to the filler cap from twisted wire flattened with a pair of smooth pliers. Apologies for the bad photos again.
