That set should prove to be very versatile, not just as a Rapier supply trailer.  Either way, it looks great!

Metal kits, so certainly not cheap (picked this one up second hand off of fleabay)

A resin trailer might be an interesting subject for an accessory for Paul’s Landies…

Nice addition mate!
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Very nice work.

He is a very hardy farmer, driving around in the snow in an open top Land Rover with the windscreen down.

Not sure about what looks like a shotgun loose in the back, especially when carrying a dog. Dogs have a reputation for shooting their owners with them if they get the opportunity.

Seems like a typical hill farmer to me, well with a less dented landy than normal. ;)

Doesn’t want to take out his windscreen when he cuts down some stranger with the shottie…. either that or the dog likes the breeze.

And the open top Landie is a thing even in the snow round here …  lol

Reminds me of my Uncle Eurfryn, a hill-farmer from the Preseli Mountains of Pembrokeshire (where the Stonehenge Bluestones came from), except Eurfryn's Landie was full of ankle-biting mentalist Corgis!  >:(

(He was probably the very last farmer using them as working cattle-dogs, in the 1980s.)

I dunno. I had a great-aunt with ankle-biting, mentalist, sectarian, dachshunds, whom she would set upon unwanted visitors with the command "Romans!"
