Chris,

The subtle cameo looks spectacular, very impressive work!

Kevin - ditto on your build, hope you share some interior shots, the figure looks like a work of art by itself.

Thanks for the comments.

I did hand paint the rubber wheel rims. I didnt want to spend time masking as ther are going to be obscured by the weathering process as can be seen below.

Adding the headphone set sounds like a good idea. Has anyone got any pics/links of the correct wiring set up.










The tracks are slightly too long and after battling to get them on I will have to take a few more links out.

Scrapes and scratches next...

Great work. I used the following site to help me wire the radios in my Grille.

http://panzerfaust.ca/AFV%20interiors/germrads.html

There are several photos of radios so you may have to look at several photos to understand how the power supply hooks to the radios and how the radios hook to each other.

Good luck.

Thanks for the radio info Kevin. Will possibly add the detail at some point. Other than that I am signing off on this one. Hope the next project is slightly hastier although, with another kid on the way...
