Oh Thank God !! Does this mean you're going to switch back to the waterboarding, or perhaps just the battery cables Sir ? Finally... !!!

True, very true, wet fingers in the plug socket gets your attention every time and straightens your hair..... electrolite works every time, or is that electricity....

Cheers Jack, touch wood I have been fine since so yes you could be right it might have been a simple bit of dehydration. Glad you like the build so far.

I don't think I will get you to wire up my house mate.
I am beginning to seriously wonder about the sanity of this group lol.
Just now Scottie?

I think the main build is now there. The armoured screen has been made and fitted, I'm not to worried about the hinges as most of it will be hidden when the stowage gets loaded on.
Next the radio was added from an etch set with a scratched headset and microphone. The other cables will be added when the antenna is fitted.
The gun rail was scratched and added what a pain that was. It's not exactly the right contour but it's near enough for me.
Finally the wheels had the valves fitted.
Next is to start on the pioneer tools and other external details.
cheers

Some of the junk is being added from a selection of sources. The jerry cans are from the Tamyia allied vehicle set the holders from an etch set the straps on the canvas buckets are masking tape. The pioneer tools are from the spares box and the etch from an after market set from the spares draw.
It's getting very close now to the thing I am dreading and that is adding a lot of tie downs.
cheers

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.
