Thanks Howard and Andy

The work truck has moved on a bit: there are a lot of very small and/or fiddly parts involved in the chassis and engine, most of which won't be visible once the body goes on
The wheels are made up of seven 'rings', each with a tread pattern 0n the outside edge, which in turn entrap the centre wheel rim. Effective, but a lot of work in each one!

Great work with the Herc gunship, Jim, the finish looks spot on to me - i.e. properly menacing! That German Army work truck is a very interesting subject and the sort of thing I like to build as an alternative to a diet of AFV's. I look forward to seeing the build progress.

[Ratch]

Liking the look of that truck.

[Softscience]

Nice work on your herc. The truck chassis looks really great too. At this stage it looks like you can go all Mad Max with it.

[Lone Modeller]

The Hercules is big! Looks super Jim - and a quick build too.

The Wekstatwagon will be an interesting change - not seen one of these before but there will be numerous opportunities for interesting details.

Liking the look of that workshop truck!

[iggie]

The workshop truck has progressed a little, along with some of the fitted furniture

[Stuart]

Loving that Jim - that looks excellent!

[Lone Modeller]

The wood effect is outstanding. The seat is a little gem.

Thank you LM and Stuart

Tonight's effort was to make a start on the tools and equipment...
The compressor has 16 parts, the bench drill 7 and the vice 5

[Stuart]

Great work Jim - that does sound rather complicated!

[skypirate]

Good grief!
Mind-boggling fiddliness abounds! 7 layers to the truck wheels! Aaaargh!
But love that seat!
..and the big gunship, of course!

Cheers,

David

Great little workshop and the seat, as others said, quite outstanding!

[JamesPerrin]

That cracked leather seat is marvellous

[ShaunW]

My goodness that workshop truck is looking good, Jim.
