This is the start of my Land Rover safari conversion to go on the Kenyan plains base I have created in the diorama section. Now, having looked at a couple of other Land Rover builds on here and 'THANKS' to Natter and Hairtrigger the first job I had was fairly fiddly as they pointed out a problem with the Italeri kit having six stud wheels. I would have been perfectly oblivious otherwise, not being a Land Rover nerd and all, but being a bit of a perfectionist and not wanting to spend upwards of another £20 to buy a set of wheels with the correct five studs I decided to just slice my nuts off and replace them. Sounds painful I know, but I am of course referring to the wheel nuts on the kit. Hopefully once primed, painted and weathered, any visible scars from the operation will be concealed. Another forum member had already performed this task in another build so it seemed that it should be doable. And the results are in, my wheels now have five studs as seen below. Thanks for popping in. Very early stages but I will update as progress continues. The nearly completed scene for the diorama can be found here,- 17 replies

Finally I think I’ve mastered posting images.....Those who know me from before know I’ve a bit of thing for Land Rovers . My latest build is a 1/35 scale build of an Israeli David Land Rover . Theses are essentially armoured bodies that drop on to either the 110 Land Rover body or the Toyota vehicle chassis .The Armoured body’s are manufactured in the USA by MTD and have gone through various transformations with single rear doors double rear doors etc .. The base kit used was the hobby boss 110 I used the rsov version as it gave me the left hand drive variant I was looking for . the interior was a left over black dog snatch that was left over from another project . The black dog resin interior was really warped and not at all square but as I wasn’t going to have the doors open it didn’t matter too much .The rear end was cut short to expose the rear cross member as per the original vehicle and the side lockers covered with plastic card . The top image gives you an idea of what I’m aiming for .
