Thanks all for the kind words fellas `tis very much appreciated indeed Tommy......you are correct sir,two are missing..............i`ve seen a few pics with some of the hoops taken out either damaged or stored, this will give me easier access to the load bed and also add a bit more interest, i need access to put Berts whiskey in Mark....it does look all one piece when fitted correctly, i`ve just plonked these on for piccy purposes

Ok fellas, only managed to get the rear chassis end matched in today,i`m in the process of doing some long awaited DIY stuff so `i`m a bit time restricted at the mo Anyhoo..........the chassis end, i didn`t go the chipping and AB route on this area......sponging sufficed here i think
I still need to do the area where the spare goes, i have 2 parts i need to weather and attach seperatly plus weather up the frame itself
more as soon as
Cheers chaps

Thank you once again my fine chaps Steve.....i`m not going swamped in mud or anything like that as it`s not my cup of tea, i refuse to buy all these so called mud products at extortionate prices , i`ll just go with what occurs as i bumble along fella

Sorry for the delay chaps but my attention has been required elsewhere..........hopefully i can get back to this and Fury on a more regular basis shortly Anyhoo.........i have been tinkering, i have added the front fender accents and the number.....this will be blended in with the W/W when i come to that part, the front fender markings are decs in the kit so i decided to mask and spray my own.....i couldn`t be faffed with trying to get the decals to curve!!, also i didn`t wanna risk the decs coming off when i start the chipping process with water applied. The rear deck has had some dirtyficationaryism added to the white........i will then bring in some fresher white over the top of this to allow for weathering contrast between the layers of white already applied.
The cab part is weathering WIP.....
I have also added the rear spare wheel covers........these i had to leave off and weather seperately to allow me to fit the spare wheel after painting.........you can`t get the wheel in otherwise...this is still WIP and stands out a little to bright for my liking
Just as a note............the bulkhead detail apart from the horn is my own, the bulkhead is very plain in the kit but after reference hunting i managed to at least get some sort of resemblance by adding the wiring and other bits.
Next job is the white over the front end
Thanks all

Very nice Boots, hopefully be getting back to the bench myself too soon, still a lot going on at home but it is all going to a timeline now, so I know what's happening.
Does that make sense?

This will be very very nice once finished.... just one thing... you might have gotten the front wheels on wrong

Post by Ian H. on Mar 21, 2022 22:11:24 GMT
Mr. Boots, a beauty indeed. I think the front wheel positioning is optimum for parallel parking.
