Default DAF XF in tamiya scale

I'm building a DAF XF105 in the tamiya scale.
the end result is going to be made of resin. the bennifit of resin casting is that is doens't have to stay just the one cab. in fact the first one is going to be the super space cab. the second one the space cab.
I'm working on this cab on and off for just a year now. and i'll place the picture's and tell about its different stage's .

I started with the drawings found on the DAF website. and scaled them back to the 1 : 13.5 scale needed for the tamiya volvo/scania/man chassis.
the printouts of the drawings were glued to cardboard.

to me a new material, and I wanted to find out if it would work for me.
in this stage it works fine. later on it started to work agains me. so there is not another complely cardboard cab-prototype, in the future.

but as a base it's just fine. and with no hard work and little time. the endresult of the first evening was impressive.
