        Great work Andy .
        Envious that you got all those wheels and therefore the chassis square touching the deck .

              Thank you very much gents. There are a couple of minor touch ups to do then fingers crossed that all of the stripes line up :flushed:

              I'm still looking for some suitable graphics but nothing has tickled my fancy yet. I may even end up having a go at printing my own.

                    The seats were a bit boring and hollow from the box so I filled in the backs with card and added seat belt clips. Not much but a bit of an improvement.

                    I painted the interior in non-standard colours to tie in with the exterior paint job and tried to replicate a carpet effect on the floor.

                    A few touch ups then it's time to move onto the sleeper section.

                          Great improvement to the seats, and the carpet looks good too.

                            Interior is superb. The seats are far better after your modifications.

                                Brilliant Andy - any chance you can do a carpet for us?

                                (Living room and maybe a bedroom or two!!)

                                You caned the carpet - that is so good. :thumb2:
