Other than cleaning the windows and some cargo and door choices, I think I'm all but done with this model.
I named it the Theseus 8x8 because if you look at what I stared with, almost all the parts (except for the lower chassis pan) have been replaced by 3D printed parts.
I gave it very little weathering - mostly dust on the tires and some dirt smears:
Here it is with the door tacked on:
TBH, I like it more without the door (I've seen pictures of the Argus 8x8 tooling around without doors). I spent a lot of time on the windows, too!
Not much cargo right now. It's all Value Gear resin, except for the two Meng water cans. The winch in the front is from my

Here's a front view with the inspector. Bob is currently awaiting painting. The headlight reflectors were done with Molotow chrome from their refill bottle. There were going to be plastic bulbs in the headlamps... I forgot to add them in. The "glass" for the headlamps is from the crimped section of one of the Space:1999 parts bags; it looked just right:
Console detail. The larger monitor above the control column is for the rear view camera/cargo light:
Side view with the Inspector. The guy just won't give anyone a break:
Thanks for looking!
