My opinion is the SRT8 front and grille enhances your Jeep better.

Glad to hear you’re on the mend! The chrome really stands out - especially your wheels. Lots done since your last post, in spite of not feeling well!

Fabulous work!

That's intensely detailed!

Very cool - love the straw man

To clarify, Bill, I wasn’t suggesting that you be ‘careful what you wish for’ - that was more a guideline for me to adhere to!

Careful what you wish for...

Håkan, thanks for checking this out!

As always, thanks for looking in and commenting, Jurgen!

Thanks, Topher - much appreciated! (I've enjoyed watching your pickup builds - love those sixties Chevies!)

Gary, I'm relatively new here, and have appreciated your comments since I started posting. Long before posting, I had often visited the forum and, as I said before, I was always attracted to your builds. I very much dislike painting as part of the overall process, and took inspiration from your careful attention to the finishes on your builds. So, in my opinion, you very much need to continue posting your fine work!

You really blended the roof conversion in cleanly! Nice work.

Wish I had a 1:1 of these in my driveway! Awesome presentation of your leather seats. (My brother has a place in Sarasota - 90 mph winds last he checked in about an hour ago - hope ‘uncle Milton’ passes quickly and everyone is safe)

No shaming involved! I had the connectors but wasn’t sure about them. The sand chute will partly obscure them so will look ok.

The two remaining hoses at the rear of the sander have been installed (pressure and return line for chute spinner). I didn't have good luck with the CTM photo etch zip ties while doing the previous wiring (just managed to chip paint in a couple places!), so I ran the two hoses for the spinner through two, very thin slices of a bigger rubber hose. If you don't get right up close, the hoses look like they have been wrapped in those two spots. It is a cleaner look to my eye. And, as Jeff reminded me the other day, there are some connectors on the rear drop cross member. I had some CTM couplings and sockets that I had been debating whether or not to install, because they are a bit bigger in scale than on the real truck. I did install them and despite being a bit big, they look good (no rags stuffed in the sockets yet, Jeff!) Two hoses to/from sand spinner are installed Better view of hoses attached to spinner hydraulic motor Drop crossmember sockets and couplers installed - openings in the sockets need to be 'filled' for winter operation! The hydraulic line opening at the top of the cross member will be capped as well, once I am done with needing the frame to be on the rotisserie. Still waiting for some decals to finish lighting and wiring on back panel of sander (need to get that new rotisserie built as well). Thanks for stopping in to have a look!

Thanks, Victor - glad you stopped by and thanks for the kind words! I remember looking at your build back in March (before I started posting) and was intrigued by the windshield washer reservoir(s) you made - they're very realistic. (I need one for under the cab of my truck and haven't figured out how to do it yet. . .)

Thanks, Gary - I have some on order to try and your results are encouraging.

Gary, I agree with Jeff about the re-chroming - looks great! Did you need to do much prep work to the grill surround? Its finish looks very smooth.

All these modifications inside of 25 (or so) square centimetres! Great to watch.

I started at the beginning of your build thread and appreciate all the scratch built detail you have added to your Pete and RV unit - amazing detail overall!

Your dioramas are simply amazing! They are very realistic and the vehicle aging/weathering is remarkable. (I also really liked your diorama "The Yard" - so much going on in that scene)

Crazy amount of detail - well done! You made the decals sound so straight forward - I'm sure it wasn't!

Great looking engine, Bob

Thanks very much, Trevor, for having a look and I appreciate your generous comments!

Just stunning detail, Randy - motivates one to do better!
