Land-rover and trailer
m.l.field

Thanks. Wheels on the Land-Rover are Hummer with the outer nuts shaved off and sprayed ivory. Trailer wheels are unpainted Hummer. The Manta will hopefully get a showroom entry in a day or so when I sort pictures out.

Car transporter trailer

400 views already :0 Thanks for all of the comments. You'll probably not believe me but the design was made up as I went along. It seems to tow quite nicely though and with a car on just about balances on the wheels.

Land-rover series ii 88'
m.l.field

Thanks for the comments everyone :)

CC, I know what you mean about the shell the closest it comes to anything is a 100' hybrid. This isn't perfect and I know there are things that could've been done better. I'll have to try and correct that when I do my '62 109 version.

Gaza, look at the bottom picture ;)

Body is by HPI as well. Just had to have one as my 1:1 runabout is an A4 avant :)

My cave

The drawer that is open is about 3' from the floor. It'd be something a lot more delicate than shins that you'd catch :(

Lr 88 build - pt7 - lights
m.l.field

http://cpc.farnell.com part code is SC02212 if you're in the UK then RS components also sell them. I used a standard 5mm LED in them by just drilling into the back.

LOL, I hadn't seen yours until now. I'll probably use one of the Kamtec shells, the wheels will almost certainly get changed too.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

@Steffen the bootlid is wrong for a 400 too ;)

Thanks for running the competition _miga_, and well done Vin87 iirc you got one of my votes anyway. I just wish I could have found a more scale location for my pics.

Lr s1 86 build - pt7 - final detail and first colour
m.l.field

Thanks for all of the comments :) I just hope that what I have planned for the paint works when it is done.


@ mudslinger, the painting didn't take long as the spraygun was out to do some 1:1 panels in the same colour.


@ CASE1, if only.

Scale wheels for my defender d 90
Joe_Cool

Good to see someone else having a go at modifying these :) For future reference I can also confirm there are only 4 slots and on the 1:1 they are only 5-10 mm wide.
