Awesome work indeed! Watching this build from the beginning and it has been great seeing the progression and the eventual end product.

Really good stuff here. Love the attention to the little details. See something new each time I look at the pictures.

Jeff this is all just wonderful stuff. Much of it reminds me of my own OD shenanigans from times past, (haven't broken out a kit in ages) Painstaking attention to detail.
I half built an M8 somewhere along the line, and went the lengths of even scratchbuilding the snow chains in scale...
Once again, kudos for showing me/us so many in-depth techniques. Cheers

Fantastic work and excellent photography too! One thing I'm curious about is what you used for the "rope" holding down all the stowage? Looks very real and more importantly, in-scale. I've not been able to find anything locally that I'm happy with.

Hey Don,

Thanks for the kind words! The rope comes from this place:

I bought about 4 different sizes, from smallest on up. This stuff is really amazing, and not too pricey!

Cheers, Jeff
