Nice work on the tool boxes -
I finally found a method for the roof that seems to work. My plastic ribs didn't work out being uneven, so a tip was suggested about metal flashing. KnS sells thin tin sheet, so I thought I'd try it. This is just a guinea pig test piece, but looks promising. Here's what my attempted ribs looked like..so embarrassing . Even using a jig to create them, every one was slightly different

Welcome aboard! Thanks for following along I was using an enlarged drawing for the layout I found browsing photos. Office supply store enlarged the drawing for me. The front corners were formed using the cowl off the Paystar kit. I added a filler strip to make both sides fit the drawing. The rear corners are just sanded, where the 2 sides met. I'll have to check the height from floor to bottom, but its close to 1/2 an inch if memory serves Any other questions please ask, I'll try to help

The kids have plenty of places to hide their chewing gum now...all 22 seats are installed. Half way thru I realized my ca glue wasn't holding..figured it was time for another fresh bottle, this ones retired to the bin. A few looked lopsided after peering thru the glass, so adjustments were made. Overall I'm pleased Once those were set, I started hashing out the details up front. A pair of 3d printed fans from moluminum, scratchbuilt fire ext, and garbage can round out the current parts. Heres the bin before paint..and yes it'll have a bag lol Thanks for following

Nice work so far ! That flashlight looks familiar..wonder if mine still has the filters -
The glass installers arrived early today and didn't waste any time. Evergreen .005" clear sheet was chosen for the windows, and I ended up stacking several strips into my Chopper to avoid bending. This made a pile of windows very quick. I painted the edges w steel ..seems I'm out of aluminum paint. Once they dried, they were quickly installed w testors canopy glue. The kids left a couple windows open I see. There's a few paint tweaks to the frames yet, then a light brushing of Future to fill the mild scratches. Now the seats can be installed!

ongoing oilfield project

Looking good so far ! I'd love to model one of the articulated trucks on the oil fields, so unique -
@TarheelRick thanks for your feedback its very welcome! I have plans for 2 window exits on each side, and 2 roof exits once I conquer that. Are there any common spots they place those window exits ? I was thinking nearest rear tire, and possibly half way back from O/O doors. Glad the rollover exit was successful, hear of tragedy when they go over.
