Well well well, it must seem like I am sleeping at the wheel on this...LOL! A little matter of painting the interior got in the way and slowed the pace a bit.

So here is what I have been up to...for the most part!

A little prime-time had to fall first!



The ceiling! I added a grab handle as well as a little wiring to the rack mounted equipment.



Not wasting to much time on the interior end of the one here is where the painting stands now, minus any Decs that will go on in about 5 minutes after I stop typing here....



Needless to say, the walls are not fixed here yet, hence the gaps. I still need to move around to get the decs on and maybe a touch or two of weathering.







I have to admit that I am impressed with how this comes together with a little paint. The detailing in the cabin is pretty much just enough to add some interest once this will be done. I did have to bend and add some grab bars to the interior. the one over the console is the only on provided with the kit. There were molded nubs where the other are (all in red of course).





Please disregard that small white thread between the pedals...not sure how that got there, but no, it is not some sort of weird electrical connection. Also, there are a couple parts missing at the moment as the glazing will need to be installed prior to their installation...next...I first need to work out some masking for the glass.

As always, thanks for dropping by!!!

LOL...Hurry up? Why? ;D This might give me something to do while at the table!! 8) I would find it hard to not get this done in a month! Might not have the base done, but the dozer should be set!!

 

[adampolo13]

I smell bacon and eggs coming my way if yer don't get her done.

I would find it hard to not get this done in a month!

I guess I'll just have to keep pushing you to start more builds!
