Ian Suds Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Inspired by havoc's model of italeri's 109 FFR Land Rover i decided to have a go myself. I liked this kit and enjoyed the build and simple base scenery. The story is of a crew who are on a range day but have been tasked with closing a track to the public for safety before their turn on the range. First some photos of the weathering to the chassis. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Suds Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 In case anyone is wondering the tow chain came from an idea when I was delivering a new window winder set to a local garage. I asked the mechanic to cut a length of wire off the broken one, it just looked right to add to my stash for future use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG058 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Love it! Very nice work. Just needs some range stew to finish it off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob 1 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 That's very good, the delicately added dirt is particularly well applied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Very nice work on the Landrover. Great weathering. It's always a shame when the undersides of vehicles have been made to look fantastic with all that dirt, rust, oil, etc, and then they have to be fixed to a base so it will never be seen. Having said that, as a teen I 'crashed' an SAS jeep into a diorama ditch, just so I could show the underside, which in my opinion was the best view! Just an idea, but can you find some suitable figures for the diorama? I think they would really seal the deal. Rearguards, Badder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree that it needs at least one if not two figures, so I have been searching and found KFS do two around that time in 1:24. They are overalls rather than combats but better than nothing. That cup of tea needs someone to drink it lol. Just got to get around to ordering them, if anyone knows of any other suitable 1:24 figures I would appreciate the heads up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darby Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Excellent job. Detail such as the tool kit and that weathering make it look very real indeed. It's easy to picture that at Lulworth or Tyneham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisTheBear Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Having been in a few FFRs and on a couple of ranges (a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, and with slightly different lingo) I really like this! As to figures, well the poor grunt is probably just on the other side of the nearest tree, having had one brew too many. DennisTheBear 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent K Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 That really is fantastic the weathering and such is done just perfect not too much, and it's always amazing what a well made base can add to a scene too, even a small vignette (no disrespect, I can see this took long and a lot of effort) like this is just brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
