Sprocket 11,157 Posted November 1 Author Report Share Posted November 1 excellent cheers RWG, Nice Lamb link, actually it's interesting what could be thrown n the back of a Lanny, so long as it's 1/43rd, the mind boggles. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sprocket 11,157 Posted November 10 Author Report Share Posted November 10 checking out the kit, the body sides have lots of sprue end pieces to be removed, prefer that than the risk of short shotting or other moulding faults. comparison to the Corgi Landrover needs a bit of bluetac to temporarily hold the sides to the floor. held up against the side of the old Corgi, the size is amazingly similar. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sprocket 11,157 Posted November 10 Author Report Share Posted November 10 This kit is a shed load of fun to build, it's just falling together. I'm leaving the bonnet loose for painting as the headlight clear parts fit from inside. I'm also leaving the roof as a loose fit so I can paint the cab interior. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sprocket 11,157 Posted November 10 Author Report Share Posted November 10 some green primer, bonnet and roof still loose, time for some colours. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mad Steve 25,049 Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 Wow that looks excellent Sprocket, i need a couple of those. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sprocket 11,157 Posted November 13 Author Report Share Posted November 13 Cheers Guys, thanks for the comments and encouragement. I'm slowly working this into a beat up local garage recovery truck, need to make the jib soon. at the moment it is looking a bit like a free Cornflakes packet toy, but bear with me, I'll real it up slowly bit by bit. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tolvcat 5,096 Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 There's some nice detail there that stops it looking toylike already. Think it will be another cracker by the time you're finished with it Andy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mac1677 6,934 Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 Very nice Sprocket I tried to find one of these at SMW but couldn't see any, my uncle had one on his farm, great bits of kit. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sprocket 11,157 Posted November 18 Author Report Share Posted November 18 Thanks for the comments Landrover Lovers, I'm plugging away slowly with this one, and I still have the Jib to scratch build. first black wash. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sprocket 11,157 Posted November 18 Author Report Share Posted November 18 wheels will need some layered effects to get them how I want them to look. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vaastav 3,265 Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 Nice work Sprocket. I've always liked the look of the Series Land Rovers (and the old Defender) and its nice to see them built up like this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sprocket 11,157 Posted November 22 Author Report Share Posted November 22 Cheers V, quite agree there is something likable about the Series Landrovers. Glazing going into the cab. the cab interior still reachable by paintbrush through the open top. and the glass edges too. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sprocket 11,157 Posted November 22 Author Report Share Posted November 22 just fitted the headlights and bonnet, decals. left to do, sidelights painted, wipers, glass edges, weathering and of course the jib/crane 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
