Thanks guys, interior's done now as I've got the body on and don't really want to have to take it off again. Thankfully the sitting dog does fit through the window so can add him in once he's done. The flatbed doesn't fit the best but that's on too, and hopefully stays in the right place. Both figures and the dogs have finally arrived so we can crack on now.

Thanks all. Spanjaard if you look very closely you might just notice the front driver's side wheel is also white instead of silver like the rest, but it's difficult to see now under the mud and grime. It's more noticeable in pic 25 before it got covered.

Some photos of the completed build, not had much time today as one of the kids off sick so will try to add more after the weekend. Some final additions to the truck with the roof rack, CB aerial and a rear registration plate, oh and some side indicators which aren't on the front wings of the kit.

Thanks Bruce and Spanjaard, a few fiddly bits and sweary moments with my biffer fingers towards the end but it all came out well. Getting the chain to go round the roof rack wasn't particularly fun.

Thanks guys, figure painting was my thing years ago so it's fun to get back into it and see them come alive as the paint goes on.

Hopefully, once the figures arrive, this will eventually be a small diorama with my two survivors and their scavenged Toyota Hilux pick-up loaded with their booty and the two dogs which they have stopped to exercise. The beauty of building a beat up truck is that if something goes wrong you can just incorporate it into the character of the build.
