details complete!! all done
painted the driver and lights all screwed in job done at last!!
the missing drivers arms were impossible to find so i managed to source a pair of FAV drivers arms from TC member JSourbeck in the states today they arrived and after a little trimming and sanding managed to graft them on and paint him he looks alot less silly now :)

Nice work. Like the metal look sides and the driver figure. Good job on his shirt, you must have a real steady hand.

Looks awesome mate .

Thanks guys!!! to answer a couple of questions the chassis is all completely standard the chrome sides are simply chrome decals fitted down both sides of the tub,a real cheap and easy answer to losing the vast amount of blackness usually tucked under there

Nice, hope my comments fit. I dig it all, maybe a few shots outside as soon as weather permits, of course warn us as the chrome will certainly blind all unprotected eyes. The driver is a unique and one of a kind, you should be proud. I think he needs a beer in his hand. Take the RX antennae and wrap it around a small cardboard scrap(cut in the shape of a CAPITOL I) and tuck it under the body somewhere so you won't damage it by running it. @ Blaque Jaque...Would you be very happy if EVERYONE was staring at YOU??? This model makes me want a SR now more than ever. I fancy making a SpeedBuggy SR one day in my life.

This is the best looking Sand Rover I have seen on TC. Top job. Driver looks a bit like an old colleague of mine, especially with that shirt. He was a VW nut and he had a Beach Buggy.
