hi.
thanx for all the kind words about the progress.
the progress will slow down now. I have been working the girafs and croc last evening. and I have a pile of dust to show I was working them, but no visual chainges.

rivets have crossed my mind. actually I have tiny copper nails laying around that might do the trick. and it's not drilling milions of holes only hunderds. but that effort makes the differense.
I have to test it first. I also know about a trick with putty and a suringe. to put rivetheads on a model.
Also I have to keep in mind that the sides are going to be covered with stickers. and al the detailing I put in the sides where the stickers are going to be is a waste of time. or even making the stickers ugly in the end.

a modellin rule. if you make one thing very detailed that sticks out, and draws the attention. you can leave other parts less attended.
so rivets around the window and roof are fine. on the sides. I have to see where it will show.

but first I have to figure out a way to make the bumpy lines on the side. even if it means I have to make some sort of bead roller.

I have to get foto's of the stickers on the side, and have the company that stickered some other trucks in the club. to make me the stickers for a decent price.
They have made this sticker fore a friend of mine .
