Update - more.
The inside of the roof is now complete and primed ready for some paint.
The corners will not be seen so the corner swivel joints will be added just befor painting, also the insrtument panel facia is in the centre. The square panel on the left is for internal communications equipment.
And another view - once painted then other details will be added like instruments on the main panel and in front of the driver.
Once I have the base coat on then it will be back to the Chieftain ARV.
Cheers,
Mike.

John, thankyou all for the award.
Gary g, Scratchbuilt tools, they are all in the tool drawers...
Scottie, Pleased you like the seat, so much better that a lump of plastic.
Decided to leave the Chieftain ARV alone for a little longer and threw some paint at the interior. once I have that completed I can then close up the vehicle interior and concentrate on the exterior and exterior stowage boxes tool boxes etc.
Cheers,
Mike.

Beautyfull work Mike, superb from every angle!!
Update.
Managed to forget the adjusting lever for theCmdrs seat.
Now painted and in place....
Put the base coat onto the inside areas....
And done a little bit of detail painting. The drivers periscopes are clear sheet with one side painted black, this side once dry was cut to size and cemented into place with pva glue.
At this point I would like to say thankyou to all the members that have commented and left likes, they are most welcome. And as usual if you want to ask questions then do so, even if they seem obvious, I will answer them.
Cheers.
Mike.
Scottie I promised you a couple of pics of my templates....
These are what I use for bending copper wire to shape.

That is a very good idea, those templates. They’re glued to the sheet underneath, right? I never thought of doing that …
Mike. That's a great idea thanks.
Correct, I cut out the shape originally for one iten or part and then just kept adding.
No problemo..
That's stunning work Mike.

Thank you
Mike.
Update.
So from the nice clean interior I have given it a wash and then a bit of pigment dust.... But first I had to place the instrument panel...
Then the wash and dusting took place....
Just a little more to do with the dusting - adding and removing, plus some bits of equipment and I can add the top to the hull.
Cheers
Mike
