Slowly going forward, bullbar mods done and temporarily on.  Had a go at making a new grill. The resin one didn't have great detail.  Due to a lack of spare space on the chassis sides, I made up a frame that will sit across the chassis for the hydraulic tank, tool box and Ice Pack sleeper cooler unit.   |

That's all looking really sweet Dean!! I am digging this project. Your grill is truly phenomenal and nice work on the hydraulic tank frame. Just great stuff all around

It looks fantastic with the cab test fit on the chassis. The scratch work is really outstanding!

This has been primed and main colours are on.   Both colours are nail polish from the discount bin at the front of the local chemist. 3 x 15ml bottles for $2.50 ea seemed good to me! Left me with change for the bakery on the way out! |

I've heard of people using nail colors. The color supply is endless

Painted it really makes all your added detail stand out nicely!

LOVE your experimenting with nail colors! Even I wouldn't have thought of that one.
You've got my complete attention with this build.

Many thanks to all who have dropped in for a look and posted a comment. A little more slow progress has been made.  Dude........this is going to look KILLER when it's all said and done. Great set up so far with all of the stellar paint and detail work going on Tim. |

Hey Deano, I remembered that you made reference to a cabover build on my U Boat page, but I hadn't heard any more so I thought I would hunt it down, and mate I'm glad I did! This is a stunning build! Absolutely superb work my friend. It is now bookmarked and I'll be checking out your other builds.  |
