discussion I did it.....

[Guest]

Yep! Hi everyone!

Some of you know I'm a Land Rover fan....
I'm a die-cast collector, but I have bought some real Landies, as well, since I obtained my driving license.
Now, only remains one of them on my own.
He needed some works and changes. Body & engine. So I decided, two weeks ago, to repaint and leave it as "new". A total restoration!!!

This morning I did a fast visiting on the garage....and found this......

Wow!!! Certainly, my Land Rover, will change severally. I'm wishing to drive it again and programme some travel around Europe....

Great stuff Polux, I know how much you adore the Land Rover.

An update

They started to work on the outside primer paint.
I'm wondering which brand are using... maybe Vallejo, Tamiya, Gunze,......?

Always loved the Landy, she's coming on nicely Polux. But you do know if you're having it yellow you'll have to have a camel trophy sticker somewhere lol

Keep up the great work matey, John

 

[Guest]

I remember when I was a child.....
I saw a "yellow car" driving through an amount of mud. Oh my God!! There was mud everywhere!!
I was discovering what a Land Rover was...

He will be different, but there is a little part of tribute there....

 

[zuludog]

I've never owned a Land Rover, but a friend is keen on them.
He says they are simple to work on, just like a great big Meccano set; or at least the earlier versions like yours are.

 

[Guest]

A 110? I love these. So easy to work on and pretty reliable. Thirsty though! Great choice on colour. Almost camel trophy orange!

 

[Guest]

Its looking pretty good Polux. Have fun with it mate.
