Convoy, take 7

[Biggu]

You did a GREAT job on that trailer JM !! And in lightning time as well. It is a bit of a difficult kit to get everything line up straight and correct but you nailed it. I’m excited for the new cabs too. This will be a great addition to the convoy.

Thanks Pal! 

I do hope the cabs arrive soon! 

My hands always get a bit shaky when I'm in the middle of a build but can't work in it!

Just slight withdrawal symptoms! 😉

[Jürgen M.]

Since the cabs still haven't arrived and I hate sitting around in the little bit of free time I have I began to work on something else!

I took this old DAF 2800 NTT Cattleman apart.

The more I looked at it during the past weeks and months the more I hated it.

I like the truck type but not what I made of it back then.

I'll turn it into a regular N2800. An everyday working horse.

When it's finished I'll post it under glass.

Didn't want to open up a thread here for it. It's just to fill up waiting time till I can get back to the IH!

[Jürgen M.]

I'm back! 😎 

Means, my cabs have arrived and I can now proceed with the IH.

Thanks again Bren! (He printed 4 more cabs and sent them here after we realized that the first parcel definetly had gotten lost!)

 I took the best print and immediately began to work with it.

Step rails on the lower sides of the cab,

then the first coat of filler primer.

That will be gently sanded (parts are extremely brittle) then a second coat of primer, then flat white, then gloss white then decals and clear coat!

This is fun again!

Glad you are back on this one buddy. You have enough for a small fleet now ! This will be sweet.
