The White truck is Red

Back with another update. Though not much in the end, it was a big learning experience for me.

Previously Iron Mike‘s critique of the “scale of the handles and cranks” got me thinking. I agree and they were just a little bit ugly (the old: a parent never sees the flaws of his kids) Thanks IM for the good call :ro:

Now back into the forge/machine shop/work bench and “On to The Revised Ones!” Which resulted in the following;

First the originals

There is no cure for AMS, just I hope you remember the strait-jackets in the corner of the room. :woohoo:
I was busy having a frontal lobotomy or was that a bottle in front of Me, can't remember, but I went back and got caught up on your build, Dude I think you have Hobby Pox ... also no cure.

Great job all is looking very good, just wait the Doctor will see you next, sit in the corner like the rest of us making the Verooom Veroom noises. (y) :frantic :soldier

Finally have an update on the C3000. I have been adding, creating or just plane slogging along with some fiddly bits to the interior of the cab. Which, except for final colors and the windows, should be the last of the interior :v

Worked on the dashboard gages. Cut out silver foil circles added some Archer dry transfers,from the "junque" drawer, coated with Future (yeah my bottle is that old).
