Land Rover Defender "Snatch"

Heres another scratch build of a 1:35 land rover defender "snatch" that i made. All the vehicle's componet (body, chassis, etc) were hand made and build from scratch using the plain plate and some putty job, except the tires are from the 1:35 italeri land rover "paratrooper" (similiar like tamiya's pink panther) tires.


back in the early day of work

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

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.











This diorama was made for the owner of "Land Rover Clinic", a land rover workshop in the South Jakarta - Indonesia

Land Rover 90: “Camel Trophy 1985, Borneo”

This model is a totally rebuild and remodel from the original kit. Based on the italeri’s (1:35) land rover series II (paratroopers-similar like the tamiya’s pink panther), the model was converted into a land rover 90. The 109 inch wheel based model was cutted into 90 inch wheel base model of land rover 90. Because the base model didn’t have a hard top, and it was a series II land rover, it must took a lot of rebuild and remodel from the hard top, front body, front lamp, side skirt, front bumper, rear body, coil sprung (converted from the old series II leaf sprung). And because the model will be build as the land rover 90 that used in the Camel Trophy 1985 then some details are added to bring it life such as roof rack, bull bar, jerry cans holder, roof rack lamp, winch, side mirror, shovel, axe, and many other details. Almost all of the major were scratch build, except the jerry cans and the snorkel which was taken from the italeri ww2 jerry can set and the academy ford utility snorkel (upgrade with upper cup). A lot of plain plate of plastic (for hardtop, side skirts, roof rack, and other body works) and some various size iron wire (for bull bar, and ) were use to make this model possible and close to the details.

The result is the Land Rover 90 of Camel Trophy 1985, Borneo.
