tiking Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) Seems I have not posted this build here. So here it is. This is an Italeri 4 wheel drive 109" LWB kit I bought on Ebay. I am not completely finished with this kit yet. I still have many extra accessories to add, which I'm waiting on. I call this little vignette is called 'Everything but the kitchen sink'. The African driver is proud of how he managed to pack his entire belongings in one go. The idea comes from looking at many pictures of various overloaded vehicles from around the world. Some more rediculous than others. I am adding another figure of a guy taking a pic of the African driver and his personal belongings. Will post pictures when I've completed this project. The figure is one of my first try at building a decent figure so please go easy. Edited May 16, 2012 by tiking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisR Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Nice model. As we live in Africa we do sometimes see vehicles overloaded like this but also the perils thereof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
