WOW!! You got 300 parts there, should be some
serious details with that one!?!
I will be watching eagerly sir!! I love stuff
like that, but I just can't afford stuff like that.

Nice stuff you have going there! I see a wiring cord
for a 9 volt battery, are you going to make this light
up for us?

I'm thinking about it, that particular battery lead in the pic is the one for the lights on the titanic

Lights would be very cool!! I have 3 kits that
I did lights on. 2 of those were when all that was
available were "grain of wheat bulbs"!
It's soooo much better what one can do with LED
lighting these days!!

I wish the chassis on my Blazer looked
that nice and clean. Your truck even looks
more real than my truck!! LOL!!
I love it, that's going to be cool!!!

Hi all done a bit more to this super detailed chassis (Not done a truck before I'm amazed how much detail there is just in the chassis) I think I'm only about half way through it.  I've started on the cab also. I used foil on the roof  I think it looks too clean so I weathered it a bit and added some other details.   |

Hi all I love this kit, the fit is exceptionally good and the detail is great, again no glue   I tried a failed experiment the instructions say aluminium for this part so I tried aluminium foil  Yes I could try again but there are far more complex bits that have an aluminium background and this looks awful so I think I will use paint (although the ally doors will be simple enough with foil) |

Hi all I'm wondering if on the real thing these compartments are hinged some how  After adding this detail the other bit fits over the top like this  There are handles at the bottom of the outer shelving I'm wondering if I can some how make the parts hinged to show all the detail, there is loads of shelving like this and it would be a shame to hide all the detail. Yes I could just not glue them so they are removable but I would like to try and make them as they are on the real thing. |

Hi all here is the next update, I would really love to add lighting to this but can’t find leds small enough.   It’s a good job I’ve not glued the cab on yet as I’ve missed some painting  |

Hi all here's another update, I thought I could improve this bit so I cut the moulded on straps off and made some of my own   Then I thought to myself I can improve on that too.  I do think my bench is getting quite full (and this is not all I'm working on)  Here's an assortment of the accessories so far made for this.  |

Hi all well it has working emergency lights. I've glued aluminium foil behind the headlight holes to help them look more like headlights.    |
