	RRG was a blast as always yet this time I came up on the Saturday to enjoy the social aspect of it and witness the tat auction in a more sober state. It didn’t disappoint although no purchases were made by me, general lee air horns were my only losing bid. It was good chatting to new people if not met before and getting know a few people more that I’ve only briefly chatted to in the past. It also gave me the opportunity to take some fresh photos with latest additions. The wheels match a lot better when the alloys have been given a fresh polish too.

	A bit of tinkering on the Lego truck last night to get it closer to a match since the real truck’s changes... The mini flask is my favourite addition. I’ve got a few more bricks on their way to tidy up the rear arch cut outs.

	I think one row of tiles below the windscreen is as close to reality as it’s going to get...

	Mrs minty is away with Ethan and the in laws so I’ve had a full evening to combat a few items on my snag list, although as usual not as many as I’d hoped! First job was to paint the side light / indicator lens within the headlight cluster, which I’ve wanted to do since fitted the mooneyes lenses as I think the orange and yellow clash. The side light section has been redundant since the headlamps were replaced with units with integral side lights, the front section of the indicator isn’t required as there is a front indicator in the bumper so that just leaves the side indicator element which I decided to replace with some indicators further back. I scuffed up the lenses with a sanding sponge... I gave the lenses one coat with Montana hardcore Matt black paint (as that’s what i had!) After half an hour I sprayed a coat of Halfords gloss lacquer and then repeated twice with 15 minutes interval between each with the last coat a lot heavier, luckily without creating runs... I then placed them in the airing cupboard to bake whilst I got on with my other jobs... This is then fitted after the other jobs, unfortunately it’s dark so tricky to tell ... Well if I had known the indicator was going to shine through one coat of paint I wouldn’t have spent three hours wiring in an additional pair of indicators... (Black screws to come next)

	In between the coats of paint and lacquer on the lenses I was painting of a different kind to clean up the rear panel. I don’t know if anyone has noticed in the photos but the back panel had blanking plugs and blanking tape in place of the optional extra headrests. There were also drips of glue and paint from presumably when the rear window was replaced as well as little trickles of rust coloured water so I wanted to clean all that back and apply a fresh coat of white hammerite smooth paint the same as I’ve used on the floor. Last job then, starting while the paints were drying, fitting side repeaters that I bought from blackpop, handily he had already fitted brackets which were absolutely perfect for holes already in the side rear of my cab... I measured up the required wire length and connected the wires to the front side indicators and tested before routing them around ... Cables were routed behind the dashboard and cable tied in place and routed down through the white conduit that the hydraulic control cables run through so the cab area is back all tidy again.

	Finally managed to get a look at this in person at RRG, and it is definitely as amazing in person as it is in photos!
