Land Rover Series III LWB - Revell

Land Rover Series III LWB
Revell , 1/24 , KitNr. 07047

the idea of a Land Rover buildoff with our modelling collegues was born, as the kit launched and nearly all of us had on bought. To see the different ideas (f.e. my brothers Shorty) is the fun part.
I always had this in mind...snorchel, rooftent, sparetire on the hood, bumperbars and winch. that was my wish list - well thought.
The color has to be sand with black. I was not sure to place it in the desert or snow...it ended up to try how to make the snow and it worked out great (in my opinion).
I'm really pleased with the result, only a base needs to be build...in progress....some days...if my "important" projects are finished.

Very nice!  It's a really nice kit, finished mine earlier this year.  A group build/club build would be a great thing to see.  What did you use for the snow?  Turned out great.

Thanks John! I will make pictures if all are done. They have to be ready end of the year.

The kit is very good but imo complicated at some points. you have to choose LHD/RHD before building and follow that line. Also with the seats. Not a model to change the mind during the build. 

For the snow i used a Water-woodglue-Natron mixture. Natron are tablets for "anything", i need them for indigestion. i put it with a stencil on and used my airbrush for light dust

Great looking finish. This would look good in a diorama of a snow setting. The effect is very accurate looking.

Really nice snow effects Dominik, I too built this model when it came out. It is a well designed kit and like you said, you need to choose which version before you build. The end result is really nice. You absolutely need to put it on a base. Looking forward to see what you're gonna come up with. Great build and great weathering.

Totally agree!  I went through the instructions several times and still had a few hiccups.

Really good looking weathering on your Land Rover Dominik.  The snorchel, winch, and spare tire on the hood was a nice touch.  Looks like it's been out on the Bonneville Salt Flats making a pass.
