I'm not a great modeler - okay - but not great. This little vehicle is calling out for somebody to got to 'town' on added details. As it as i've added a little...

As I wanted to have one of the doors open I've added a little detail to both doors and to the 'cabin' (I hadn't noticed before but Jed has included the safety-belt 'gubbins' so I've added the fastners and a little portion of belt)

mean looking vehicle from this angle! you can't see it but there is some 'suggested' detail in the cargo bay - the lower portion of the turret; boxes, crates; ablative padding on the cargo bay roof front wall etc. Steering wheel and gear lever will be added after cleaning. Open door is not fixed in position yet.

I'm not sure if having the driver stepping into/out of the vehicle is going to work successfully. The doors are problematic (only if having them open - they fit really well closed - and I've had to drill and pin to make longer hinges to facilitate the door opening right back against the side) because of the shape and the size of the opening - we'll see...

meanwhile check the blog for a preview of a military version of one of the G.O.T civilian vehicles

started on the interior. still to have some work done on creating a 'lived-in' look and a few details still to paint. The items in the cargo area can hardly be seen with the roof on so just a few items to suggest stowage, equipment and the lower part of the turret...
