Hi all I'm wondering if on the real thing these compartments are hinged some how

After adding this detail the other bit fits over the top like this

There are handles at the bottom of the outer shelving I'm wondering if I can some how make the parts hinged to show all the detail, there is loads of shelving like this and it would be a shame to hide all the detail.
Yes I could just not glue them so they are removable but I would like to try and make them as they are on the real thing.

Hi all here is the next update, I would really love to add lighting to this but can’t find leds small enough.

It’s a good job I’ve not glued the cab on yet as I’ve missed some painting

Hi all here's another update, I thought I could improve this bit so I cut the moulded on straps off and made some of my own

Then I thought to myself I can improve on that too.

I do think my bench is getting quite full (and this is not all I'm working on)

Here's an assortment of the accessories so far made for this.

There is actually loads of missing detail from this bit and I'm not sure I have the skill to add it but I may try (see if I can work up the courage)

Hi all well I'm not sure I will actually do this but I've added some blue leds for the emergency lights, maybe I will and maybe I won't we will just have to see how complex it gets.

Hi all well it has working emergency lights.
I've glued aluminium foil behind the headlight holes to help them look more like headlights.

Hi all well here is the next bit, you really get a lot of kit for your money with this beast but I think I'm nearing the end now.
