I did a little more on the 2A1. The Lewis looks better all the time. On checking all my Motley mount pictures it looks like the mount and seat get painted khaki and the gun is black. The seat cushion probably was the same brown vinyl as the rear seats on the C8. When I do the truck it'll be khaki with light stone camo.

I made the liners for the steps in the endgate today. The inside and outside pieces kind of wrap around each other in the holes so you have to put them both in and form them to shape with them in place. When I was done I tried them out for size with my felt pack boots and there's lots of room.

I started brushing on a coat of paint. I'm having the camo pattern go across the inside of the box too although I don't know if they did that or not. The motley will be in the middle of the khaki. I figured that way the khaki seat wouldn't stand out so much. The pic I colourised gives an idea of what's planned. I could have done a better job on it but wanted to get on with the painting. Here's a question for you. How do you know when you've got enough runs and drips?
I fixed the colourised pics up a bit.

Mike, I used spruce and fir. That's what was used on the original bits that I found. The sills were hardwood on the original but fir will be lots tough enough for non-military use.

Excellent work Dave. I really like how the 2A1 is coming along.
Regarding the paintjob; I don't know if I can agree on the camo job on the inside of the body. Most examples I have seen only show camo on the outside and on the canvas. Quote:
