A bit more time consuming was the cretion of the scene lights which are placed on the rear of the truck.
Those were build out of clear plastic pins, styrene tubes, a 1x2mm square styrene rod and very thin wire. Then i painted them with a "molotow liquid chrome" pen.

Next were the grating parts on top of the rear bumper and on the surface of the rear compartments.

Then i built new front rims to get a closer match to real ones. And i finished the front bumper. The decals will be added at the very end.

Next was the completion of the Boom control panel on the turntable. and the tubes for the hydraulic support of the telescope boom as well as a small cover to hide the big screw that holds the turntable in place (this part you won´t find on the real truck ).

At least the hydraulic tubes for the radial outriggers and the work lights with the electric wires, attached to the outrigger supports.
There are only minor steps left, such as the attachment of the final cables and tubes, the door locks and the last decals.
But not really much interesting to post, since you will see them with the completed truck anyway.
So with this post i conclude the building progress of this project.

I will post the finished truck within the next two weeks (depending my work scedule ).

Absolutely wonderful work. Love the detail and I can't wait to see the finished product.

Thanks for sharing

This IS absolutely wonderful! I also can't wait to see it finished!!
