How long do you think it will take you to paint the detail parts?

I've applied the primer around the truck
Chassis.
Cab truck.
Cargo bed.
Group Chassis / Cab truck / Cargo Bed.
Wheels and tires.
Seats.
Antennas.
Parts and accessories of the truck cab.
Appeared a few glitches, I'll fix it after the primer dry completely
While this is going to work in cargo accessories, has much to be done. This is only a part.

Wish I had the cajones to tackle something like this. Excellent work! I know it is a truck, but it is a mean looking beast!

Sergio,
I see what you mean about the antennas. I dread this part of my build..the set ups are quite confusing to me.
Good to see the Primer stage..I'm looking forward to the paint job.
BTW, that did you use to cast the parts in BLUE?

Matt,
Thank you.
Regarding doing a job like mine, the only advice I can give you is to do, even if the first does not leave very good, the second will come out much better, as well as the third and so on.
Looking at it may seem complicated, but doing more will see it is simple, if you need anything, I can help.

Nick,
The most confusing about this vehicle for me was to interpret the images correctly. Every picture I saw was something different, I almost went crazy ...
I was really anxious to see the template in primer, I think I'm more relaxed now.
As I said, I had problems with the jerry cans at customs, the solution was to do here. When I need to make quick copies, I use a material dental / orthodontic. The mold is made of a special gelatin, it is reusable. In parts of acrylic resin using a self-healing (fast) and liquid specifically designed for orthodontic work, the blue parts, rapides combining the ease of handling, the only problem is that the resin is very tough, bad work if needed.

Next step try to reproduce the camouflage nets? Serigo Try Medical gauze with ribons of tissue paper painted brown, green, and tan. I will do it this way, but I have a pair of craft scissors tha cut a wavey patern. I purchased them from a scrap booking store. Or wait for some one to make a better way.
link below has some ref. photos.

I did the first test for camouflage netting, banding and usie white glue.
I wanted something more organic look, this was very aligned for me, as if new.
Nothing complicated, my time is short, I thought of using the camouflage net of Echelon, my fear is they do not arrive in time. Has anyone used?

Sergio,
the truck looks ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC when painted. I really want to see all the clutter on.
In regards to your previous picture with the net attached to the cargo bed. I sometimes do it similar way but then take a large brush and apply the white water-dilluted glue. This helps the gauze to "sit down" so it looks weighted. Also you can paint the gauze much easier then.
Pane wachmajster vy jste ale hlava!
