The frame and bed are too long for my tastes...

I want a smaller vehicle for a humorous final product.

The tailgate needed a little work, removing the molded-on pins and replacing with wire.

Some brass rod and a little solder to build a gun rack...
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/6/7/3/343673-12716-82-720.jpg)
This should work...
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/9/1/3/343913-12716-62-720.jpg)
Here's what the shortened version should look like.

The interior is coming together...

Nasty hole in that seat. The springs are pushing through...
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/9/1/4/343914-12716-41-720.jpg)
Had to build the interior doors with plastic sheet, rod, and a few spare parts from past models.

Very nice start with this subject and excellent extra details, like battery cable, hinges, and at least the very lifelike work at the interior 👍

Thanks Mates! 🙂. I'm experimenting with lots of new techniques. It's been fun!

Markus, the seat fabric is made from paper towel, coated with with glue. I found that by separating the plys of some 2-ply paper towel, the bumpy pattern was on the inside.

This is great class. I've already wondered how you got the pattern in the seat. Very big class, Mate.👍👍👍

The paper towel is laid down with "white" glue. I had a typo in my earlier post. Also, before applying the paper towel, I melted the plastic seats with a candle to help make the depressions.

The words of second slogan on doors are flipped, like last word should be the first etc
I highly recommend consulting Arabic speaking person before doing Middle Eastern subjects. And due to all ongoing events there are plenty of ideas and I think modellers need to tackle these subjects more like you just did.
Excellent model, other slogans are Ok.

I guess Google translate can produce the correct translation and direction of words, but sometimes it gets missed up when copied to word processor on a PC without 'Arabic' added to keyboard input languages for the OS ('Keyboard and Languages' tab in Region and Language settings in Windows).

Oh my god this is so cool man, what a combination and that rusty feeling is so real. 100/100

Excellent and convincing work and a very good eye for the detail 👍
Only one topic to mention from my side George, the front window seems to be much to clean for the overall used and rusty vehicle - just my two cent😉

Thanks Christian🙂. I was thinking the same thing about the windows, but was experimenting (practicing) with making "clean" glass for future aircraft models. I'm not very good at canopies, and need all the practice I can get 🙁. I may dust this one up a little bit before entering any contests 🙂.
