I was being a little thick but I figured that out after Ewok posted. Mine will be much better of course.

Some more work tonight:
Added lights on the cab back, handles and levers for the winch system, and the crane. Lenses will be added to the lights after painting.  Closeup of the levers and handles and what will become the gas cylinders.  Added headlights and brush guards. The driverside guard looks like crap and will have to be re-worked.  Had to see how it was coming together.

This is a great project. Thanks for keeping us updated. I'm really anxious to see what it looks like once complete. With the Sherman on the back, it makes me sad that the missile carrier isn't true 1:18 scale, I would love to see it towing a tiger tank!

A little more work this past weekend:
Dremeled off the terrible molded on cable and hook and filled. I also worked up a cover to add actual shovel and ax to cover up the molded on versions. The cover is just sitting on, it will not be attached until after the painting. I also decided to use brass tubing for the muffler, I will drill out some vent holes.  Reworked the driver brushguard and added another light. Removed the hedge chopper thingie and filled. Added I-beams and worked on the headlight mounts.  Added some more detail on the boom and filled in the dinosaur claw marks on the door, yes I said dino claw marks. Also added some more control handles.  I am thinking about removing the molded on "jugs" on the bottom of the cab and adding a few detail plates and then I am ready for paint.

Isn't there some plastic card made with diamond plate? I think it's for model railroad construction.
