Esci Landrover build

[Nick Allen]

I'm new to this forum so I thought by the way of introduction, I'd show you one of my past builds. It's based on the old Esci Landrover 109 and the build is well over 10 years old ...

... I added the roll bars, looking at it now they're a tad overscale, but at the time, it looked reasonable. I also wanted to show a bit of damage so painted the o/s front wing in grey ro represent a replacement part, but also damaged the n/s front wing and side using a warm spoon heated in water to acomplish the damage. The windscreen was also damaged using the blade from a scalpel, and I also added a bit of weathering. I don't have the model anymore, a friend of mine, a collector of Landover models took a shine to it, so I let him keep it.

Thankyou, I'd like to have another go at building something similar, I've moved on somewhat since I built that.

I love builds that look like they were just driven in off the street ...and this is one of them. Nice build and welcome to the forum.

Thanks Mike, I've just noticed your signature, I've got several builds unfinished, maybe I should place a couple on here, it may spurn me on to finish a few? As a retired firefighter of 27 years operational experience, my main modelling love is fire trucks. There are so many in the stash I've lost count. I've also got one main ambition, to use my favourite kit, the Mack AC, as a basis for a 1930's New York Pumper, one day?
