Steve, now there is a challenge lol.
As far as I can make out from my reference pic the roof frame was up or at least not in the stowed position. That meant I had to make it. I watched a video on how the frame was erected and it explained everything. So armed with wire, brass sheet and solder I managed to cobble the frame together. The two parts of the frame hinge so I can position later. And the whole thing is removable for painting.
The Pioneer tools. have also been added
The windscreen and dashboard have been assembled as a small sub assembly and also been detailed.
Finally the passenger seat was narrowed a bit and detailed. I had to narrow it as I have made the generator base a bit to wide.
cheers

Very nice work Paul. Cant believe you managed to build a hinge for that frame.
I've watched you burnish your sratchery skills over the years, but the tilt frame is beyond the pale, Simon would smile.
Lovely Scottie!

Totally brilliant.
More wizardry mate.Soldering is something i have never tackled.Ive seen some use it on youtube builds on trackguards on a king tiger etc.Makes me laugh as the U.S guys pronounce it as Sodering!!!.Good lord we dont need that.Hope you are keeping cool.
It wasn't to bad, it will be glue into place when all is assembled.
Thanks Nick.
Jim, to kind
Richard, it is a lot easier than you think. I use a gas torch and solder paste. Give it a go practice on some scrap first. Just make sure everything is clean as solder doesn't like dirt. Got ot love our cousins across the pond.
Verniers are far too imprecise, where's the micrometer? 
I would just like to thank everyone that is leaving a like etc but this site doesn't allow you to see who's leaving them, unless I'm missing something.
Your missing something, just put mouse over icon, all will be revealed.
I have the same issue, mouse over icon shows nothing,or adds or deletes alike from me
Try signing out & back in.
