I have already picked out a few things. The tie down rope looks great.

What they said...good idea on using thread for cable, you can get it to act more naturally.

MATTS,

Yeah ! I agree those ropes are Awesome ...... Who makes them ? A Friend of mine recently turned Me onto some that is used by the Rail Road Guys for Telephone cable on Phone Poles. It's somewhat elastic & Works Great !
 
Re: LRDG chevrolet and Quad with 6 pdr. gun by Bagge

Thanks again for the nice comments you are to kind! :)
the tread i use to tie down the cargo is ordinary cotton embroidery tread, but i know they have in hobbystore (hobbystore like in sewing, knitting etc.) a type of tread that is elastig and works wonderful for rigging and that kind of job. if i had it i would have used it!

Its looking excellent Mats. The bracket you made and the stowage tied down really gives this build character. Very very nice work (y) (y) (y)

Just need to weather the decals a little to make them blend in with the rest ( i know i should have put them on before i did the weathering of the truck :bang head )
If the numbers are correct i don't know i looked on internet but not much info on british markings.
