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...
