And that shows just where The Great Roo outscores most of us converters and part-time scratchers! I love the vehicle, and Cliff's rendition of it, but I'd have looked at the curves on the roof and the mudguards etc and discarded the idea outright. Cliff just goes ahead and builds'em.
Nice one Cobber!

Thanks for your kind comments Guys. The roof was easier to do then the guards, of which gave me the greatest problems. Mainly in just how to do them.

This believe it or not is the first time I have done mudguards this way and while time consuming I would go any and all guards this way in future and in fact am planning on doing 2 different sets of truck front guards this way very soon.

Stage 3 of this build will be held up for a little while as I had to make a new set of wheels as the first set I did were too wide. But that is modeling the 'Roo Way" :-)

Once again thanks for the comments

If I had 10% of the talent "Da Aussie Bum" has, I would feel blessed. The man has a gift. Thanks for sharing with us again Cliff.

Thanks once again for all the kind comments guys (and gals).

I guess with your reactions to this step by step article you want me to do another on my next project?

YES or NO?

Cliff, My only worry is that you branch off to "Clifforama" and leave us poor sods behind!
