TA01scratch built Land Rover series 1 finished project

[Doc Hollywood 160]

Hi All

I have just about finished my 2 year rebuild on my TA01 Land Rover series 1 I have made all of the front wings and detailed it all up. I also made the bumper out of stainless steel tube. The chassis has solid diffs and oil filled shocks with a flywheel type gearbox mounted in the centre it goes over most things surprisingly. There are a few odds and ends that still need doing like side lights and a scale number plate but otherwise all finished. I thought I would share it as it is a bit different. please excuse the mess in the background I had no were else to photograph it at the time. so will add more photos when have the space.

very nice! when you get to photos more photos, ones of the gearbox and underneath would be great to see. What tires did you use?

Thanks yogi-bear and Turnip I will definitely add more photos. The tyres are around 95mm in diameter they came with the rims for around £10 from china but they are the same as the Pajero Bf Goodrich mud terrains as far as I know. The tyres though on the Land rover are very soft and grip well. I will have a look if I can find them again on eBay and drop a link .

Did you document the build?

Hi All

I am hopping to take a lot of picks of it sadly I don't have many pictures of it being assembled but will look through my photos and add them. I am not the best at documenting as forget to take photos as going along because I am in my own little bubble but I do wish I had taken more.

Hi All

Looks awesome! I love seeing hand built models that don't have 3d printed parts. I am looking forward to seeing more.

I have taken some photos of it on the bonnet of a world war two jeep if anyone wonders what is in the back ground of the pictures as it was a nice flat area. I tried to photograph areas that people wanted but they are a bit blurry but the body is not very easy to take off but I did try my best.

Thank you Blissard it is appreciated I forgot to add that if there are any specific shots of any areas needed I can do some more photos. I still need to fit the front number plate and also the side lights which will be from a sand scorcher and also some door handles. I were thinking of making a hard top for it in the future. The REG I used was actually from a real series one that was cut up in the 1980s.
