Todays accomplishments. Primed & painted the wooden items for the carrier. Let them dry for the week, fix the straps to hold the rear seat cushions down, got the wooden inserts & felt in the grenade bins done, made up 2 sets of 19 set headset extension cords so the driver has a headset. And my smoke generator bin that requires 2 smoke generators and cutouts for 2 ballistite rounds tins. Both almost impossible to find so I had 2 smoke generators 3-D printed just so I can fill the spots and found 2 old tobacco tins that were the exact size of an original ballistite rounds tin I borrowed from a friend. I sandblasted them and had paper labels printed. Will fill the empty spots for now until originals show up (which will probably be never!). That’s enough for today. Time for a coffee!
