Hi all. Managed to get some work done on my G.B entry today all the wheels, the cargo bed and the chassis are ready for primer the cab needs painting and decals applying before construction.
After checking some reference pictures I added a piece of chain to the winch hook

Started on the load while waiting for the primer to dry so far I've made 23 drums and 20 jerrycans only 20 more to go and a load of cardboard boxes to cut out and fold

Nice work Colin, I think I need to look at getting something for the back of my Stalwart.

Great work on the winch and chain. It will look awesome with the wet stuff on it. Will you be going for a muddy/used look?

Hi Steve eventually it will be part of a redball express dio so it will be used and abused.

Managed to get a couple of coats of vma US olive drab on over the weekend. The kit is 90% assembled now but I want to keep the main assembles separated for ease of weathering.

Hi all managed to get the decals on and a couple of coats of x-22 applied ready to start weathering.

Hi Colin
That is looking really good. The canvas cab cover is spot on.
