Thank you kindly Jim, Joe and John R. Glad you all like what's been done so far. I'm enjoying the build and that's a good sign that it will be worked on till it's finished.

A little done today...
Fitted the hand and rifle plus added the fruit hitting over the cap on this guy...

Then I did up the drivers hair and cap...

Wrapped the banana trunks with dried leaf shoots which I will seal with varnish to preserve it.

Will start adding the bananas after painting them and concentrate on each leaf.

Rick and John R, with that shot hitting the mark the rest will range in so he's nowhere to hide.:tears-of-joy: The monkey sure has the knack too.

My bad habit of revisiting my builds has just happened again. I looked at my Dingo and saw some areas the old Tamiya kit missed and proceeded to scratch these...
One of them was a correction where I had stuck the skirting stowage compartment lid too flat so using sheet plastic to make the slant...

The kit didn't mold in the lip around the rear mudguard stowage bin so that was added on both sides with a latch and lock. I scratched a lock too for the skirt bin. A bracket was added as well.

The front chassis armoured guard extentions were modified to look the part as it wasn't provided. In doing so I a cidenyally knocked off the two tightening handles and just replaced with stretched sprue.

I also removed the white surround of the unit emblems and number plate.

Next I'll be adding canvas straps to hold the opened hatches and some form of stowage. As the journey wouldn't be far, it should be sparse.
Will be concentrating on details from here on since the basic components and poses are all done.

Cheers,
Wabble

More additions to missing detail are the rear lights and indicators...
