If I remember correctly the bumper was welded and that is supposed to represent that, it was not to proud of the metal....

Your detection methods far outweigh a bloodhound - correct...

I was there in the early1970's, and was actually riding about on one of these. Some of us had just come back from Florida showing the American allies how to hit a tank correctly... But we were not very welcomed back by the Russians on the border, something to do with Mickey, Minnie and Goofy riding about and waving in a victorious manner - seem they put in a formal complaint - we were made to surrender the face masks....
And a yes to the camo net, that will be the next step after the following update.
Cheers,
Mike.
great update.... neat and ready for weathering... can't wait
G
Update,
Second phase of weathering now complete. The windscreen was not always fitted later on, but we had ours as we used the vehicle when touring the border in Germany as part attached to the Berlin Brigade on border security, so we kept the screen as some sort of 'protection' agains the elements.
Anyway on with the pics...
The windscreen and spare do not need weathering as they are going to be covered, just a little bit of titivating here and there tomorrow and then on with the net.
Please enjoy,
Cheers,
Mike.

Update,
This will be the final update untill I have finished the cam net application. This is because I can only do one side/end at a time due to the material being very wet and fragile so that does not allow for much handling. Once dry that will be a different matter.
I thought I would go for the cam net nee torn canvas/hessian look which combines the usual cam net but with added fashionable extensions which can move and sway in the wind giving the Land Rover that cammed up windswept look...
Still very wet, but once dry will be brushed out to remove the cam bits.
The two covers in the foreground are for the ammunition boxes behind the seats.
Cheers,
Mike.
