Due to the rabble. I have had to use a trench telescope to see over the crowd Paul.

Have to agree, very nice, again!!!

From where I'm at I need the Hubble telescope to see pass the atmosphere, crowd and noise to get to the details.:tears-of-joy:

Man...you're on a roll, Paul.

Cheers,
Richard

Cheers Richard, My apologies you are stuck with the rabble at the back.

managed a little bit more work on the cab. I have tried to make it look lived in. It is now ready to be buttoned up.



cheers

Cheers Mate, hopefully not over done?

To be honest, this looks like that thing has been exposed to soldiers for a decade without maintenance, rather than a few months to a few years at the most, as the real thing would have been. The floor is probably OK, but I think I would tone down the chips and scratches on the engine cover a bit.

Jakko,
I think you could be right I will have a look tomorrow.

I dunno....these things were practically lived in, packed full of personal gear and weapons, all piled on and around a vehicle with a hastily applied paint job just to get it out the door.....not to mention the harsh weather conditions with the crew climbing in and out constantly....I could visualize some serious wear and tear :thumb2: Rick H.

Looked like the inside of my Scammell Paul, well and truly used.
Love it. Personally I would leave it.

I love the lived in look Scottie and you do it so well, very authentic :thumb2:
I really like the levers too how did you make the nobs?

Cheers Rick, That is what I was thinking but it may a be a bit over done.

Thanks John, appreciate the comment.

Si, Thanks mate. On this occasion the lever nobs came as resin in the up grade set. The way I normally make them Is to take some round rod of the right OD, then file the end round and then with a round needle file a groove in the rod to form a ball on the end. Before I cut it off drill a small hole in the end of them lever diameter glue it on remove the ball from the rod and dress it up to form the ball. Hope I haven't confused the life out of you.

Cheers mate,
I wasn’t sure if these where made from a blob of CA that had been dressed.
Thanks for description for making your own, I’ll have to try making some:thumb2:

Jim, I look a lot more lived in

[Graeme C.]

The cab does look lived in Paul, but then the paint on these things wasn't particularly good & wear from hob nailed boots, leather equipment with metal buckles would wear it pretty quickly in a frequently used driving cab. I like the look you've got there.
