Eric and I finished the chassis today........ When it dries off the wheels can go on. I think Eric is fairly happy with it.

I think Eric is saying "don't even think about it, those Ferrero Roche are all mine!"

He is very possessive with the confectionary

Wheels are on ........... Onward with the bodywork........... And I just realised there are no clear parts with this kit. So I will either have to fashion some from something clear or no bother with the interior an put some opaque plastic behind the windows...........

Now that is looking top notch Peter ( really liking the weathering treatment, really does look sweet to me lots of time and patience in getting the look right.


Oh and for the model that's coming along too ( oh you knew I was talking bout Eric right?


Just kidding it's looking really well and good progress

I've managed to get a bit more done........... the cab and load-bed are together . The cab can go on now. Then we can have some paint. I'll do the load-bed before I fit that. The canvas top is nearly finished and I've made a start on the gun. It has a single piece barrel so I drilled out the end a little as it looks better.

I knew I had lost a peg, now I know where it went!!!!


Really looking good Peter and I like the touch with the barrel.


The cab and flatbed looks good too ( shows the scale with the tweezers in the pic.

Thank Robert. Glad you like it. I couldn't leave the barrel with a flat end, that'd be a bit daft.

Latest update......... Nearly done. Just some weathering and decals to go. Eric is going to help with the finishing touches.
