Thanks, guys! I’ve since fixed the left side of the cabin roof that got pushed down out of place by my handling.

This is a fun little kit and it never disappoints. A modeling equivalent of a blank canvas.

I took a picture of my first build of this kit and the latest:







I managed to pop the cabin roof and tailgate chain again, but those are easy fixes.

Really nice work again Frank.

The finish is excellent and really sells it.

Well done

Stunning build, perfectly weathered and a simple but effective scene, the addition of the dog just sets it off a treat.

Excellent looking vignette with good placement of the vehicles and also keeping it simple and yet great details.  Thumbs Up!  :smiley:
