Ok...time to bump this up to the top of the list  Not much at all really, just some dusting here and there on the lower stuff..........looks quite heavy in the photees but it`s not to the mark 1 eyeball  .......also masked and painted up the wheel chocs ( i see loads of these ever ferkin day up and down the motorway in yellow), the interior is staying very basic.........once buttoned up most of it won`t show anyway.......also it`s a ferker to get in and i`m dreading it   
Still workin` on the cab as there is a fair way to go on that yet 
Cheers ya all |

I know what you mean Boots.
I usually look forward to getting home from work to switch off with some bench time, but lately the week days
are so shyte that I can't get settled properly at the bench.

Ok.......lots caught up with .........still lots to do The whole assembly is now complete.......the interior fitted and housed inside the cab, cab is now attached to chassis ....gotta say this was a feckin` nightmare to get to fit  , i very nearly threw it at the wall at one point . The innards are suppose to slot inside the cab....yeah right!! ........ had to seperate the dash from the floor and fit it in 2 stages.....that was the easy bit!!! , when i tried to insert the floor it was havin` non of it.......in fact....i split the cab!!!!  ......luckily it was on a rear seam/join and it didn`t fracture the paint so i was able to fit the floor and clamp and glue with TETC. If the paint had of been knackered this would have gone in the loft.........there was no way i could have rectified it!! Front grill took ages to mask the outer surround so as to avoid getting the Alclad in the wrong places ....the glazing all fitted...door handles/wipers fitted.......and the red guards above the front wheels........that is another story , all it needs now is to blend in the lower cab to match the other weathering..........still got more decs to add plus the stuff on the roof, mirrors and arms,etc Anyhoo..........nearly there
    
More soon when me nerves settle down 
P.S......and yes...i did manage to knock off one of the yellow wheel choc during photee shoot |
