Well here she is almost finished. Now I need and want your advice folk because this is the first base I have done. I need to know any further things I can do to improve it or if I should leave it as it is!
The sand on and behind the truck is still wet so I need to allow 2 weeks for it to fully dry and also the sand added to the cab roof etc. has still to be brushed. Once dry I intend on spraying the truck lightly with some Tamiya Buff to make it look slightly more dusty and then I will seal the lot with some acrylic matt clear.
The windscreens look blue due to the maskall I have covering the glass. This will be removed before I dust spray it.
In this last photo it is the angle that the photo has been taken that accents the tipper bed being offskew.
more pictures of the whole build can be found here.... http://photos.kitmaker.net/showgallery.php/cat/15741
cheers

Since it looks like the pile of sand is not the truck's first load of sand. I'd recommend more wheel tracks in front of the hill. Other than that...this is really cool and innovative.
