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.

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...


the plain plastic plate just have been made as a body...


some tamiya putty to fill the bad part...


a little bit smoothing...


half done...


another half done...
