Had a bit of a play with some washing and dusting on the load bed, also you can see the floor part i cut out......the other bit is done but it ain`t primed/painted yet..the wash i applied went under the plasticard and warped it!!!!! Before....  After...   Tha damaged section removed...  Don`t look like a lot of difference with the picking out of the high points but it does on the bench...   More to follow.... (green smile) |

Ok a few more pics........don`t look much different but another wash and more highlighting done to pick out detail...........also the rear floor has been fixed and painted/dusted etc, also i`ve started doing a few pin washes here and there...... The floor fix..  Rear deck detail pickin`......wheels this side not done yet!!  Wheels this side have been...  Some cab shots after a bit more work...    A couple of full shots...   Probably about 80% done on this now.........still got a bit of tinkering to do with a bit more weathering but i`m not going for the trashed look....  Thanks all |

Thanks Bill and Andy..... (green smile) Quite liked this particular look of the metal markings which have been left on the armour plate..... FOR REFERENCE ONLY....   I like the padding on the floor as well so that will be the next job....  My attempts.......need weathering in yet...     I know one side is upside down....it`s meant to be!!! Thanks fellas |

Or do I not want to know...  Very nice touch on the lettering for the armor plates in the back. Gives it that 'scrounged' look for sure...almost like they came off of shipping containers or similar! |

WOW. Hadn't seen this one before...looks excellent! Surprised that the white stenciling wouldn't have been overpainted, but I suppose camo is pretty much out the window in this guy's intended role. |

Very nice work/progress on this one Boots! I'm using a different theme so you must have access to smilies with the default that I don't. Now I've got smiley-envy. |
