Simply sublime detailing.

Thanks Nick, it was fun trying to get it to look right.

The engine has been fitted to the chassis. I have dusted the engine up a little it will receive a final weather later. The prop shafts have been fitted. For anyone building this the transfer box is a complete pain to fit with very vague instructions, and the next stage show it in a completely different position.

Shaping up beautifully. Love the engine.

Looking better than good Scottie.
I sometimes wonder if some manufacturers actually get someone to check their instructions. It's also rare for instructions to be amended when issues are flagged up.

That's a pain Paul. Few things are more annoying than wrong or unclear instructions.

It's also rare for instructions to be amended when issues are flagged up.

Shocking, when they're all generated electronically. If they were still typeset you could understand a reluctance to correct them but it shouldn't take long to amend a pdf or dtp file.

Fantastic work Paul. Looks very lifelike indeed.

Hi, Paul, The engine is a work of art, as usual. It looks even better under paint. Looking forward to the rest !
John.

Thanks Paul

Jim, I agree it might just be me, but these seem very bad. I think in this case it's because there are so many versions of this truck so they just add bits for this version.

 

[scottie3158]

Luckily Pete, they are not to bad and with a bit of thought it can be sorted, but could be a pain for those with less experience.

 

[scottie3158]

Like most things today, the easier things get to do the less people bother lol.

 

[scottie3158]

Thanks Steve, appreciate the comment.

 

[scottie3158]

Thank you John, I still don't know if I will have the bonnet open yet, but thought I better add a little in case I do.

 

[scottie3158]

Next up is the cab. I have added a bit of wiring but it is only for effect. And some missing rivet detail to the bulkhead.

I will revisit the dials.

I wanted the cab to look lived in but not overly dirty. Good old sweet wrappers for the leather effect on the seats.



cheers
Scottie
