Made a start on the truck and i must say it has got a lot of detail for a 1:72 & i am well chufft with it.

May have a little play with the engine & see what i can do with it, will also remove the sides of the bonnet.

The glass is a bit thick so i will do my own.

Well this just about raps up the truck build, sorry about my artistic licence with the gun mount, but seeing as i did not put on the canopy i had to find a way to mount it.

[Guest]

You've done the truck really well John, what did you use for the netting?

 

[Guest]

Hi Patrick, thanks for looking the netting is some old mosquito netting i had in my fishing box, it also is good for netting on 1:16 figure helmits.

Thanks again.

John

 

[Guest]

John this is looking great!

 

[Guest]

Well long time no see, i've been working on other things so this one has been on the sidelines awaiting my attention.

So this is what it looks like thus far.
