    Well I just popped by for a quick update and, wow. What a huge amount of work you've put into this build. I'm almost embarrassed to do an OOB build now.

      Believe me Colin it was supposed to be an OOB build until it got out of hand when I wanted the version used in Borneo East Malaysia.

      Here's more updates...the process of the canopy slide door frame from the dry fitting of the frame, masking and applying the putty.

      Then I added spaces to the cargo door and painted interior green on the back facing.

      To be masked and sanded to have an angled sloped edge.

      Cheers,

          Oooh, Wobble I'm careful with such words and these days I really keep a safe distance when she puts on her gardeners hat or a conversation starts with "you know the plant I have at that corner...." and I disappear like Tamiya Extra Extra Thin cement.

          HA! She said she was tired of playing hunt the s*** from the dogs on the lawn - thought you had got it all untill you went to hang out the washing.
          So I said get a little bit of fencing from out of the Sunday book that comes with the newspaper, you know the one where you bought that razor that trims your eyebrows and shaves your legs....
          I am now in the process of knocking in 1.5mtr metal stakes to which will be attached 600mm green decorative wire fencing with the half hoops at the top all around the lawn....
          First complaint I get about the dogs s******* outside the door and her stepping in it and the whole lot will be in the scrap mans truck the following hour.....

            Nawww! we just have the little 'ba by' boys riding up and down on their knicked scramble bikes/quad bikes showing everyone how clever they are untill they overcompensate with the wheelie and then hears the screams as the skin gets scraped off... the boy racers just crawl over the speed bumps and we cheer to hear the scrape of the bake bean tin exhaust and plastic bits falling off - now claim that on your insurance that you failed to declare "Are there any modifications to the car" bit of the form... Oh happy Sundays.....

              Wibbleĺ, any suggestions will always backfire as you'll always end up doing it. Even when she says do you want to share a coke meaning I will have to get the cold can from the fridge, pour half into a glass for her. :smiling6:

                You must live somewhere posh Mike, if your local hooligans have insurance!

                  No Pete, the hoologans come from the slum part of the area, cannot even afford to go to work let alone the food bank - that gets delivered to them... the boy racers have the insurance for a basic model car and then get their relatives from the sweat shops to modify their cars with computer chips and cheap chinese knockoffs instead of doing a real custom job that involves swat and blood. You can see when they have had an accident, the car gets trucked away on the back of a Transit to the hidden back street workshop in Bury Park where the 'brothers' live.

                    Right getting back to the real subject Wabble, whatever happened to that model of the Belvedere, where you were going OOB, but appear to have made a dogs dinner out of it - and what a brilliant job you are doing, enjoying all the different sections and the problem solving, again brilliant.
                    Wibble.

                      You mean you actually get off the sofa, relinquish the remote and dare to make the inside of the fridge untidy looking for a tin of coke, you do realise they are stacked in user order and not random..... :tears-of-joy:

                        Great work Wibble.

                        Love all the scratchery you've manage to do .

                        As a side had the offer of a flight in a Bell thing that the Army Air Core used, declined as did everyone else in the workshop. Strange thing , looked like a flying bubble on a stick !

                                Don't talk about Teeny Weeny Airways that way - they were lovely! (Even some 'special' friends said so!) The shade of blue reflected their eyes ...
