Not going to many additions !:nerd::smiling3: Very impressive Paul, having read what you said about the chassis It's certainly not for me then :crying:

Cheers John, It is fiddly in places but not to bad.

The build is slow but getting there.

The engine has received a coat of paint and has been fitted to the chassis, it will be weathered later. I have added cables using E Z Line to the brake levers but forgot to take a picture.



The cab sections have been assembled with the grab rails replaced with copper wire. After a pre shade it has received a coat of paint. The seats were devoid of texture so they were covered in a couple of Rizzla papers and white glue and will be painted dark leather.

Very nice Scottie. That idea of using Rizzla paper to texture seats is new but looks to work well. Possibly better than my method of using Mr Surfacer 500.

Nice going Paul ! Say, what is EZ Line ?
Can't remember how but recently stumbled across this hollow tubing for fly fishing lures. Anxious to use this for future engine detailing !

Just googled the stuff, think I've got the gist of it, I'll have to try some !

They work quite well and can be wrinkled or torn.

Andy, very kind of you thank you.

Hi Ron, this is the first time I have used it and I am quite happy with the results.

[scottie3158]

Did a little work on the cab, I won't do a lot as I Cannot find anything on the cab interior apart from a Utube video of a very complex gear shift.

These may help mate

Looks like a intermediate shift change , the one coming out of the dash Steve .
If he drives like that gripping the wheel underhand over rough ground he'll snap his wrist !
Great finds as usual :thumb2::nerd:

Cheers Steve,
What ever he was talking about it was fantastico. I don't know how you find these I really do need to learn how to search the net properly.

I really do need to learn how to search the net properly.

I feel exactly the same. Steve and Jakko seem to find stuff no matter how obscure.
Cab looks great.

Yes Steve has an uncanny back of finding the most obscure things Paul, it's best just to ask him and sit back ! Or get on with the next part of the build .
