Seats look real good in my opinion. They will look even better when you add six-seven GIs... |

Andy, Beast and brother Gary thanks very much fellas..... Andy.........there is absolutely no way that there will be 6 bums on seats  , i can`t paint 1 figure fella  Beast......thanks for the support buddy... Gary...........i get ya point bud, in the same boat myself Just a quickie.............all the cab is now finished, the remaining PE (  ) has been applied, jerry cans fitted with some Tam tape straps and PE buckles (i found this easier than trying to do the etch straps) plus the pioneer tool mounts done....    Apart from the guns the build is now complete...............hoping to get some primer on these bits later and maybe a base coat/pre-shade of Black........ Thanks guys |

Moving right along Boots, details are looking good. I hear you on the PE straps, at times you wonder what the designers were thinking and whether or not they actually tried using what they designed or just said it looked good in the CAD! |

Leon.........thanks buddy, yeah the Tam tape was just a little more pliable than the etch...............still nearly launched it a coupla times tho Jeff...........thanks matey......very kind of ya Bill.........thank you too fella, i think they opt for the `what looks good in the CAD` option in my opinion , i`m using the Voyager PE on this and i find it quite resistant to flexing even after heating.......i just wish Dragon would have included the kit wipers rather than the featureless PE ones  Thanks again guys..............might get another U/D done later, i was intending to have this primed and coloured yesterday but like all good plans............it didn`t happen!! |

As promised........`scuse the bonnet dec, it`s being a right beeatch to settle down........it`s getting there slowly and i reckon another blast of `SOL` should do it......    Once the dec is done i can give her another few coats of gloss ready for some washes etc.. Cheers fellas |
