Very nice, I like the load-out. Where's the kitchen sink?  |

Sweet! Very cool. BTW, the kitchen sink's probably in one of the big bags waiting for some plumbing |

Love the Beverly Hillbillies look with the stowage.
And the weathering is just right.

Superb job on the painting there tiking, I reckon a couple of figures would finish it off nicely.

Hey tiking it was because I was looking at this figure on Ebay an hour or so earlier then I looked at your post that I made that comment as it was still fresh in my mind I guess. The Bodi 1/35 #35004 US Officer.  May not be the right era for this model though. |

Any details on this one? Like manufacturer/aftermarket etc.? Sweet build! Here is the vehicle that gave the inspiration:     ---------------------------------------- Here is the link to Meng pickup that I used: www.meng-model.com/index2_new.php?id=203The stowage's rack sacks are from a manufacturer I can't remember any more. He sent it free to me 5 or 7 years ago. I never needed them, until now. Small parts were scratch built or slight modified. The great thing about this pickup, is that it comes with separate doors. I do not see why all manufacturers cannot produce kits with removable or separate doors. A major plus for me. Everything else is just extra which I had collected over the years. Some parts came with other kits, which I just re-used. |

That's the Meng kit? WOW! Serious mods! I know. It doesn't look like much but it is great basic kit that is easy to modify. I used parts I already had on hand. Not much after market parts if iy is not a must. |

Hey tiking please don't think I'm pushing for you to use figures as I think your model is superb without them. But I was looking again at Vehicle Crew Sets tonight and came across a few that might interest you if you were to go down that road as you mentioned. I gather this is a model of a British SAS Vehicle so the second set may work better if that's the case. The first set I thought was very interesting and I also came across a Legend set that might suit. Hope it helps you.
