This is the Macralon armoured Land Rover I've spent so much time on. It's still a bit rough and ready. It is based on the Tamiya Land Rover Ambulance which looks like this (And no, I didn't build this one, I don't know who did) :




I'm trying to build this:




And this is how it looks so far:








I still have a long way to go and I'm the worlds slowest modeller but, I think I'll probably get there eventually.

Looks like Barv has turned you over to the deepest part of the dark side... :-)
Looking forward to see some more pics of it.

Looks pretty good Murdo, 2 questions:

¿ which figures are those?
¿how did you bent the doors? ¿Are they scratchbuilt, right?

Cheers

Thanks Klaus,

1) Figures are Airfix 1/32 Modern British Infantry. Very soft plastic. I hope to cut out the Rifles and replace them with Italeri ones. The heads and helmets will have to be replaced too.

2) Doors are scratchbuilt from Plastistrut.

Thanks Murdo, could you tell me how did you get the bent shape? I need to do something similar...

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Now we're cooking with gas. !!!...(the""Force"" is strong)....great stuff
Coming on a treat -----had one the same style :-) :-) :-) :-)

*Klaus..... Murdo may not be able to answer for a bit so----- warm the plastic either in hot water or under a hair drier (over a candle is my favourite--gives 2 hands free)---bend over a rod with diameter of ..!! inside !! (allow for thickness)of curve required--cool and repeat as needs be.
aye
