Hi all,
So having gotten back into the hobby after a 15 year break ive started on my first vehicle build. Initially I intended to build the Landrover Snatch varient but thought it might be more fun to build a recce rover aka Dougal.
Still early days in the build but heres where im at so far
The cam is still a work in progress and placed just to see how it might look. The rover still needs to be painted and so far has only had primer, a base layer of ak nato green (which was far too dark) and a respray of a more appropriate green.
Comments and suggestions welcomed.

managed to get a little more done, painted the seats and dash, peddles and sticks, frustrating as hell and will definitely paint those parts prior to assembling in future. Also got the DPM sprayed on to the rover and worked on the cam some more, adding a darker green to the mesh. Still looks a bit to bright and ginger in places but thinking before I actually place it onto the rover Ill give it a light spray of mud/ dust colour to balance it out. Havent done that before but Im thinking it'll work and would be happy to hear any suggestions on what might be best.
