You need to put a space between the dots & the URL, m'lud, for the link to work.

Thanks everyone!
Just working on about a thousand little details left then spray flat, then tires, guns and other stuff.
The Hairy Bikers food show.......... I might just have to check that out.
I've been thinking about a base for this build. I do have a container of dirt from the middle east. No one can say its not the right color. I'll have to figure out how to apply some as weathering dust and make it stick.

Yeah.  You might think that, but...
 
 

Looks good.

Dirt and PVA glue would work.

I have plenty of both!

[Rick Lowe]

There ya go, then.

You can also mix a little water in, to help spread it around.
I starts off a bit puffy, but when the water evaporates, it looks just like caked on dirt.

Because it is.

Nearly finished! Wheels are on permanently! I have to do this black surround on the windows. I think it was rubber weatherstripping. A few more little parts to go.
I've been doing a little weathering with a soft pencil in typical wear spots. I rubbed some pencil lead on a spot on the desk and rubbed my finger in it. Then I rubbed lead on various spots on the model. It gives a nice worn look.

A few more greeblies and fiddly bits to go. I made a quick punch list and the most difficult part will be the weatherstripping around the windows. I already have a piece of half round painted. Maybe tonight. I'm thinking about where to hang a tow cable. But that's the wreckers job so maybe not.
I just thought of this. I could say the weathering powder is from Saudi Arabia and see how many people start scratching their heads.

I like that 👌 😏
Confuse the hell out of ppl mate..great fun 😁
The tow cable could still be carried mate so if someone gets stuck they can be pulled out ..towing bars ain't any help there .
