1/6 Land Rover series 2 comp

[Fly In My Soup]

Well starting another build... 6th scale of course...

 

This time...a first for me...I'm not making the body.....this will be done by a talented fella called Richard. 

 

So as I've been amassing parts for a wee while now...it was time to start doing something whilst I await more parts and the body itself.

 

First off was to create some xrtra wide axles...

 

 

 

The video for doing this xl axle mod is here;

 

 

Next we look at some chineesy peasy beadlocks;

 

 

 

 

The short video showcasing these can be seen here;

 

 

 

More to follow stay tuned

Looking better with a body on it and its articulating better as well 

Is it just the body the cows trashed ?

This has been rumbling on...
