I was going to do more than this, but I don't think it really needs it. Apart maybe from beacons on the roof, maybe a toolbox & a few loose ropes etc

 

Cool 

Tried to lift anything yet?

I love it.

Awesome....
This reminds a bit of Martin from Cars...

 
 

That's the truck I was specifically thying to avoid this one looking like ... but blue paint, rust, green doors, crane on the back - I was clearly channelling it anyway

That's what happens when you fall unconsciously in love with Martin  .

all kidding aside, great job Jonny

 

Working on the (very basic) interior - cut the feet & a slice of butt off the XR311/Cheetah driver, then added a bit to the legs because I hadn't taken account of the "seat" thickness ... then had to cut more slices off so the head wasn't touching the roof. 

Head angle was changed by using a bit of M3 studding, gap filled with Milliput. Steering wheel is from a Willy's' Wheeler.



 

Niiiice!

A single, large beacon on a stick made more sense than a pair on the roof, I've also spaced out the bumpers & added corner defenders, overriders & license plates.

Also started work on stuff to go in the bed: hollowed out boots & helmet from the driver, pry bars, fire extinguisher from a Willy NOS bottle I filled in some time back & a Scorcher exhaust, batteries & fuel cans, toolchest

 

Looking great...as usual, i love all the details !
