Forklift WIP:
Did some detail work on the forklift to give it some character. This is a Dinky toy model I bought at my local grocery store. The price was 'ok' and on top of it, it is 1/24 scale. To my surprise this model is pretty close to the real thing in accuracy. So I did not have to do too much extra work to get it to look descent. I added the hydraulics, strobe, extra lighting and cabling bind to the framework of the forklift.
----------------------------
Made a lock for one of the opening, which I'not too sure what it is used for; but according to my prototype pic, it has a gas-tank lock on the right side of the chassis. So I made it to look like the one in my pic.
---------------------------------
Added some small details to the steering wheel:
Scraped away the extra stud that was on the forks:
-------------------------------------
Added an extra link from the steering wheel to the base of the forklift floor:
