      Just a few shots to show the EZ line in place for the cables. The end of the exhaust has also been drilled out.

      The wing mirrors were replaced with copper wire and pewter as the originals were very weak. The lamps on the cab had a pewter disc added as there is no lens either moulded or in clear?

        Hi Scottie
        Looking great. A really good idea to use EZ Line for cables, very effective

            remind me... isn't this the build where you said you weren't going to go overboard?
            I mean, really, brake cables??

              Jim, I don't know why I haven't thought of it before.

                The work continues by adding a few details. The kit comes with etch locker lids but they are hopeless so added my own. Showed one open not that you will see much as the gun platform will hide most of it. The ammo locker? had the solid handles removed and replaced with wire. The top panel was scratched as there was a nasty crease in the kit part.

                The gun pedestal also received a tweak.

                      Yeah, I think we have been reformatted and I'm talking to John about getting it fixed.

                              Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.
