1/24 Esci Range Rover

[zak]

I have been looking at this for some time, I picked it up second hand at the Lincoln Show perhaps 2/3 years ago.
It was cheap, but had been started, so I need to look at what has been done and if it is the RH drive version or the LH drive one, that was being built.
This is while I battle with the body colour on the Pontiac GTO, trying to get a really nice finish.

Another car model awaiting the 'Zak' touch. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this one.

Should be good.

Just deciding on the colour and painting the chassis/underside.

Decisions, decisions...........      

[zak]

Chassis and floor pan painted and together.
Painting started on the body shell, 3 coats so far.
Wheel hubs painted.
No engine, so it is what seems to be called a kerbside model.

If no engine you could put it up on bricks and strip it of engine, radio,, etc and say its been trashed in Walkington hohohhoho

Your imagination knows no limits.
Less time to model at the moment as Sandra is incapacitated and I am chief cook, bottle washer and general skivvy.

Looking good and at pace too.......

I am now attempting to make some seat belts, in the early Range Rover they were attached to the seat.
Seat belts made from Tamiya tape painted black, the buckle was made from thin wire and thick paper.

[chriswil42]

Looking good Dave. A strange colour for the seats ( or is it my eyes )?

[zak]

Sandy coloured. as per the instructions.
Maybe the shading down the pleats has made a difference.
