The wagon received a coat of clear ready for decals and detailing.



I did some more work on the CITB I must say I am quite pleased with the way they have turned out so far. They are shiny at the moment but they will receive a matt coat later.





cheers
Scottie

Oh wow, you've come a long way since I last popped in to read up on your build Scottie. Stunning as ever.

I have added the light guards from etch and brass plus the cable into the light itself. Having a play adding stowage and checking it for look. It comes from Red Zebra and is beautifully cast. It's only held on with blue tack at the moment. The jerry cans come from the Tamyia Allied set.

The stowage will be tied on later.

I thought you had a glint in your eye when we were looking at all their wonderfull castings....

 

[Scratchbuilder]

What a shame that all the hard work has to be covered with paint on both these builds - the vehicle and the base...
I am not going to add to the plaudits given above except Cor! Wow! Sigh! Glug!

Mike, yup got those for this very project. I think you will agree they are nicely moulded.

At least the paint will cover up all the mistakes.

Sorry Bro, but I'm with what much Olderthanme said...If there are mistakes, then they are on the original vehicle too!!! Top work and that dio is looking most outrageous. It's the little details that make it shine. I really liked the little yellow, blue, and green lights on the edge of the stream. Okay, they were pins, but they looked cool!!! Bring it home Paul, as It's looking sooooo good!!!...Happy Easter...

Prost

Allen,
Thanks mate really glad you like it, I don't think I will keep the lights though. And a Happy Easter to you as well mate.

Hi CITB has been added and the stowage hung on the sides. It has also received my normal oil pin washes and minor chipping. The underside has been dirted under the arches. I wasn't overly fussed about doing the whole of the underside just the bits you will see. Yes I know that's lazy.



It gets a little picture heavy here for which I apologise. But please be brutally honest and point out things that don't look right or could be improved.













thanks for looking
Scottie
