the doors have glass in (in back of picture) but i need to make some drawbar deadlocks for these as they'll be seen when the doors are positioned open for final display.

Derek, Ole ... thank you

Polux .... i wouldn't go to that extent, but thank you

Did a bit to the bonnet tonight. Noticed on a few pictures that there was a fireproof/soundproof substance stuck to the inside so i've attempted to replicate that, have now weathered it a bit and it blends in a bit more.

Just gave the bonnet a lick of paint to check colours when they've dried and added the headlight glass etc. will wait till it's stuck on the model before weathering as it'll be better to "muddy" it up all in one go.

Have got the lid on now but it's all clamps, tape and rubberbands to hold it in place over-night so no picture coz you can't see much of the model.

Colin, this build is a credit to you, even at this relatively early stage..........Your scratch building work on your Hummer is just magic.

Really impressive.....

very fine detailing

[geegad]

loving the detail your putting into this it does bring some joy when you scratch build items and they look as good as some of the items your putting into this

[Guest]

Thanks again for the comments.

Did a bit more tonight and i think i can see the finishing line

Final weathering on the bonnet ... i was going to weather it all in one but as the washes run down into the crevices if i'd done this in situ it wouldn't look right as it would all be at the front. tried to give it the impression of having been driven through dirty water so had to add some texture particles (ash, hair, dust) to the wash ....

Next up is scratch bulding the engine ..... what have i got myself into ?
