Once the basic body was built, I proceeded to construct the driver’s compartment. The Ground Zero Games model has an unusual driver’s compartment on the left side of the vehicle. I followed the same basic construction process as the body, cutting out a frame, and then gluing on the top and front.

This is where I ran into my first mistake in the conception process. When I had made the line drawing, I had the front of the compartment extended out over the front of the body (as on the original model) on the side view, but neglected to reflect that on the front view. It worked out fine, however, since I made the sides by laying styrene on the model and working from that, so the mistake corrected itself.
