Airfix 1/43 Land Rover for O Gauge Railway

[mattbacon]

Hey-ho, hey-ho, it's off to work we go. Here's the Landy from my Workbench Window thread ready to take up residence on my Uncle's model railway:













Various AK and MiG weathering products -- rain marks, grime, oil stains. The tools are from a MiniArt "Tool Set" in 1/48, also (and originally) available in 1/35 for your tank workshop. I couldn't find a way to get the oxy-acetylene cylinders in the loadbed without a major health and safety violation, so I had to stick with the little wheeled compressor, which is about the size of my thumbnail and still has 15 parts!

The tools add a nice bit of veracity to the model.

Beautifully done Matt, that has so much character

[PaulBradley]

Lovely!

[B4en]

That looks just right with the assortment of stuff in the back!

[general rocket]

That's nice

[wokka]

It looks excellent and the tools finish it off superbly.

That looks great Matt, can't beat the old 'self-steering' Land Rovers! I would get the cylinders chucked in the back - I can't imagine they went a bundle on H&S back then!

[JohnRatzenberger]

Good job with the tools in the bed, looks about right mix of carefully loaded and kinda thrown in !

[Migrant]

Very convincing Matt, the weathering and the details look spot on.

Thanks, chaps! I'm going to deliver it this weekend, so pictures in its new native habitat will follow...
best,
M.

Absolutely brilliant. I doubt there will be any of Airfix's Landies done as well as that one: superb.
