Andy,
That looks great. As to the grab handle I always drill holes and glue the wire into the holes it makes them very strong.

Thanks chap.

I'd better not slack off then John! :smiling5:

Paul - I did that with the wire ones but I keep knocking off the few kit ones I didn't replace. Lesson learned - I'll do them all next time rather than going half arsed lol.

Wow! I love the rust effect on the blade... but the rest is really nice too!

Thanks Andrea, although I've covered a lot of it over now as the bottom section can look almost polished with use.



Not quite what I'm after yet but I'll keep working on it.

That is looking so much better now you are into the paint stages. The blade is really good with the rust effect. The poor thing looks naked without the bar armour all around the cab - you have to do the bigger version....

[Andy T]

Thanks Mike, although I've stuffed the blade up a bit since then. Should have left well alone!

Nothing that can't be fixed though.

As for the bar armour, I think it'd be a bit beyond me at any scale :smiling5:

(Whisper), they do one with moulded bar armour - Meng I think.
