"Damn, I Have Just Washed My Landy This Morning..."

Photobucket
This diorama tells about a farmer that really pissed off because his land rover series II is getting dirty again. Although he have just washed his land rover in the morning, early that day.

The vehicles was a scratch build and total remodel from the italeri 1:35 land rover paratrooper, the telegraph pole was from the italeri telegraph pole set, and the remodeled figure was from the academy German infantry bastogne. The environments are made from wood powder, dish wash sponge, dirt, ice cream stick.

Australian Military Land Rover 6x6: "Perentie"

This model was made according to the real model of Australian 6x6 Land Rover which called "Perentie". The model that i made is the variant of troop carrier type.

This 1:35 model was totally build from scratch, except for the wheels that i took from the ford mutt truck utility, and the axles from the gmc 2-1/2 truck. I made this model using the plain plastic plate and some paper clips with a lot of help of tamiya putty.

I know my own handcraft job of this scratch build is so far away from perfect, but it took a lot of time and hard work to build it (specially during the EURO 2008 session, because i made it around that time), and also it gives me a big self pleasure of building my dream 6x6 perentie.
So hope you will enjoy it...
