Sorry to hear about the shoulder John but some cracking work on the Land Rover

 

[John Huggins]

Okies then made a slow start today, the rear gun mount wont rotate so cut it off & pind it on, works fine.

Also had a look at the exhaust & it looks nothing like the walk around, in the kit the down pip is in the N/S/F wing, in the walk around it comes down through the engine bay.

What you think !!!.

Seems a nice rear board.

If I remember, there are a plastic chains on the kit, the quality is not great but...it's ok! You will search for a real ones? Could be a nice touch.

Looks great, John. Your drilling out of the front rad grill was worth the hard work!

 

[John Huggins]

Okies then while im waiting for bits to set on my GB i thought i would get this thing finished, i must say i dont like it much this is why i put it to one side.

[Polux]

Great!!! Nice to see you on this one again!!

The engine looks good John

Why don't try a clear Brown wash or a sand colour filter, will look less "pink", I do it on mine time ago

Anyway I love your work on this lower side

Cheers
