Just going through some stuff, these might be of use.

Cheers! Once someone makes one, I’ll buy one.

Glad I decided to set this in 1984. There are some wonderful Der Spiegel covers to adorn a newspaper stand.

Various masking issues meant the bloody thing was hand painted for the most part and then re-painted and re-painted. There are some modelling issues as well, both mine and the original kit. I have an airbrush now, so it's acting as a placeholder until I get my hands on the Empress version. Anyway, good enough for the table, at least for now.

That's looking nice, a very cool camo pattern.
Have often been tempted to paint my 1:1 scale LandRover like that, with rattle cans. Luckily the thin thread of common sense that just about connects me to reality has not yet snapped...

Well it might have been a lot of work. But it looks alright to me.

[Grumpy Gnome]

Looks good to me mate! 👍

[Ultravanillasmurf]

That looks the business.

Well done.

What year/mk is it Ash? Brit car nerd here I’ve got two.

Nice work Carlos  Hopefully you’ll get that airbrush up and running.

Nice! I am holding to get mine out of storage soon so I can get back to my NVA project.

It's an '88 110. (220,000m + 0n the clock). Scrape the black paint off and there are a parts from at least 5 vehicles in the mix...



Sorry Carlos, for going off at a tangent.

[carlos marighela]

Nah, that’s cool. That is pretty much what was locally termed the Perentie.  Different donk, somewhat tougher chassis but pretty much the same vehicle. Power steering was novel compared to the old Landies, so there were a few over steering accidents when they first came out. There was an even cooler 6x6 version that was popular with the SAS.
