That is lovely work on the color variations, Carlos. Makes me want to give it a try!

Thanks guys!

So I’m inching this one closer to the final stages. Last week I finished up painting the road wheels, commander’s .50 cal., and today I did the final straps on the stowage items, and the mantlet canvas dust cover

So this is how the build looks now

Next up, gloss coat and decals…

That's looking all kinds of good Carlos! That is just beautiful work on those tarps; are those spare barrels for the Ma Deuce I see poking out the back? :grin:

Thanks Gary. No, hose aren’t spare barrels… too long. I think they are supposed to be some sort of tent poles
