Details on dash, steering column & engine cover:





I'd wanted to do a "coin" pattern floor on the Umimog (I think) but wimped out, I thought I'd have another go... I needed at least 50% more dimples than I first thought ...




Grid pattern drawn out & first pass of studs ...





... looks a bit too much like lego, so intermediate bits can't be skimped on ...




Extension part added & mirror image bit for the other side...





Drew up a tax disc, had to guess at some of the details, but I don't think they'll be that visible when the thing's printed out at 6mm wide ...

I think that's most of the interior construction done though the back wall is very blank ... everything's held in with Blu Tac ATM (must remember to degrease thoroughly in there ...

Wow, detailed down to the floor matts

That's just ridiculous!
Nobody makes 1/10 scale floor matts looking that good, which "nobody" will ever see...

It's beyond me how you're going to paint all this, but I'm sure you will get it done.

No wobbly Hawaii doll for the dashboard?

and a flag and a pin up calendar on the back of the seats.

Look at the air.vent in the dash; slightly adjusted for comfort

3rd January 1977 was a "New Year's Day Holiday" in the UK in 1977, so the post office would probably not have been open?

Paint first, CA glue in after

I was thinking about a teddy bear on the grille, but those are are all excellent suggestions - flag would hide the beacon wiring & I think I could modify an OO/HO gauge figure ...
