Hi Rick,

This looks like V3000 :thumb2: - scratch built or conversion?

Hi Simon,
I cut the top off along with the windshield and constructed a new split windshield and a folded soft top from brass wire and tissue paper.
The rest is just added detail and weathering. The vehicle to the left in bottom pic is what I started with.
Cheers, Rick H.P1010589.JPG

Thanks John, I have purchased vehicles from that web store in the past. Kind of spendy so I only got stuff that I couldn't find elsewhere.
Cheers, Rick H.

Thank you Steve, a bit of dry pigment does wonders. Simon, I shall take your suggestion to heart about the jerry can handles on the next one I do.
Cheers Rick H.
