Ignoring the reverser problems for now I set back on with a few little details I knew I could make real easy
Laser etched 1mm acrylic and then cut to the right size to look like wood plank. I'm really hoping I can paint this without loosing too much detail when it comes to paint!
Here you can see it in place. Batteries cleverly hidden behind
I then etched a 2mm piece and ruffed it up a bit with a blade to weather what will be the seat. a few chunks and a coat of primer later....
Happy with that so I stuck it on with the faithful masking tape underneath until I can work out a snug fitting to stop it falling on a slant into the battery box. The battery pack is very snug in the space so I can't really get away with a tab on the inside of the cab otherwise I'd not be able to get the battery pack out. the right solution will come in time.
a little side view to show the only other little detail done today.. the "Zorst" hanging out the side of the frame. That's me clocking off for the weekend. See you all next week!
