Further update.
This is it before weathering tomorrow, markings may not be correct, but what was the norm with these vehicles?
Cheers, Mike.

Jim, Greg and Si,

Please enjoy.
Cheers, Mike.

Update.
Just a quick update/progress report.
Windscreen wipers on, number plates added, jib mounted and now working on the cables and in the meantime working on the base.
The light on the overhead lamp tends to bleach things out, once finished will do natural light pics.
Cheers, Mike

Update.
Spent today making up the cable/wires for the jib and finishing off the hoist cable. Just got to paint the cable ends and some final weathering - and job done. The base will be just a normal track, nothing exceptional.
Cheers, Mike.


Just a little on how I make my cables.


And a final check before finishing off.
