Thanks Rick.

Things have progressed a little. Before I start putting the sub assemblies together I have given the undersides of the load bed and chassis a touch of dirt. I don't want it muddy but just showing the build up of dirt over time drying on the dirt roads.




there is still work to do on the load bed including getting rid of the hair I have just noticed.




still lots to do but hopefully it's heading in the right direction.

Next more weathering and chipping etc.

cheers

After a lot or wrestling and swearing I managed to fit all the sub assemblies together. Now it's time to continue adding the small parts, continue the weathering and add a bit of clutter.

Please excuse the terrible photos they are very dark despite the model being placed in my little light cabinet. It all looks very shiny at the moment as the matt coat won't be added until the end.







cheers

Calling this finished. All the clear parts were added. Then wipers and jerry cans with straps made from foil. Thanks to Pete for setting up this group build and being involved with such a great group of modellers.
I decided not to put any CITB and not to get it to dirty. Not a bad kit but you have to look 3 steps forward and even then you may have problems with the fit of it all or it may just of been me.

Sorry a little bit picture heavy but I trust you like the end result.




















Finally two pictures of it on a recycled base.





Thanks to everyone who followed along and commented/liked.

cheers

OK, how'd you do the cobweb in the driver's doorway? Finishes are amazing.

A really great result Scottie. When you have already painted sub assemblies to put together at the end of a build it's a fraught, heart stopping time. Glad it went well.

Well Buddy, there is not much left to say about this fine build. Other than, you made a great call on leaving the bed empty and not mucking her up more Paul. It would been a shame to cover up the superb weathering of the wood in the bed. The weathering is just right with the dust, chipping and the finish on the winch and chain on the bumper is perfect.

Like Paul said, I thought that was a spider web in the cab door too as It adds a nice effect. Don't worry about your pics in the light box Bro. I read somewhere that if you turn the lights on, the pics come out much better!!!..............Coat on, door found...........

Prost
