Thanks for all the like and comments folks,
gonna hopefully finish of a few things on this during the week..

Something simple, maybe angle iron frame you could bolt to the bed with some eyebolts or hooks to attach a cable to move it out of a failed truck into another. Nothing real fancy, maybe some stand-offs to allow firing to the side over the bed sides.

Thanks for the idea minitnkr, gonna have a ponder about it.. :thumb2:

been back to the bench today, just to start the finishing bits.... had a play with a bit of 'dust'..and came up with an idea for fastening the flag down..

I'm not sure the 'dusty' side windows portray a half opened window properly, maybe I need to attempt to somehow add some streaks......

Before.


After...

Chris,
very nicely done, the dusting looks spot on.

[minitnkr]

Looks like a good job w/electrical tape. Windows look great to me.

Having another look at this a couple of days ago I felt like it needed a little bit more adding to it, so here we go , my first completed..ish build of 2023,
'Larry the Libyan'.... (just needs his AK sticking to his hand...but that's currently drying)

[langy71]

Well at the risk of boring everybody to death with this build, The base got a repaint due to it 'not looking right', and I've finally finished the figure I decided to add to it...so I'm sticking a fork in it and calling it done..(for the second time..lol)

'Larry the libyan gets his first Toyota'....

Chris,

That is a top drawer result mate. the figure looks great and finishes off the scene perfectly.

[Jim R]

That is a great result Chris. The whole scene hangs together well. It shows that first rate dio modelling doesn't need to be complicated. Well done.

[tr1ckey66]

Beautiful work Chris. The truck, the figure and the scene as a whole have been really well done. Excellent stuff.
Cheers, P

[Allen Dewire]

Great stuff Chris!!! The weathering on the p/u is perfect and the figure is tops too!!! Love the new "Larry" title the most though and it's so fitting to the scene. Hell, all I ever get is the bill........

Prost
Allen
