Sorry Vangaurd but the picture is a little washed out to allow us to assess your efforts so far.

seems perfectly ok to me
perhaps you need a new screen or attitude
wasnt looking for brownie points

Who's kit are you using, also what scale. looks kinda cool at the mo.

No attitude intended, I was trying to see the detail you had put into the canvas cover, as the detail is lost in the background. No problem though sorry I took the time to look.

ahhhh would be great if we were all at a model show......

NO............ Im a great believer in that no one is perfect.

Thinks to self,shall I go elsewhere?

Someone got out of bed the wrong side today

I like the Landies. Got a soft spot for these and waiting to see what you do with this one. Is that the tissue paper and watered down PVA?

In an effort to drag this back to a productive discussion, can I ask if this is the old Italeri 1:35 kit? I have one buried in the stash, so it is very useful to see how it builds up.

Vanguard, any chance you could post some more pics from other angles (especially the underside with the running gear & suspension)? Thanks in advance.

Ok the landrover is Italeri ,the trailer is Accurate Armour ,the cover is tin foil at the mo but im finding it too thin and flattens to much (wip)
The trailer is a highly detailed affair and may take some time
the landrover 3 will be some time whilst attention is served on this one
I have other ideas to add as well

oh and the roof supports need tidying and are not from the kit they are from the spares box

Looks pretty good - how was the fit of parts? (I bought mine ages ago, intending to do it as a safari wagon in zebra stripes like the one in Daktari...)

Folks are doing great things with milliput tarps these days, but I haven't got the hang of it myself.

Tom

Ah ha will this make a suitable canvass roof, toilet paper and wood glue.

Sometimes "old school" is still best! I look forward to seeing how it settles.

Tom

That is a great idea soaking it and letting it set before cutting out the tarp pattern to suit. My last try on my VW crewcab had me applying it on the frame dry and then soaking it. I was not totally happy with the fit.

Are you going to cut a paper template for a test shape then cut it on the soaked tissue?

Have you thought about the rails in between the hoops to stop the frame flopping out of shape and to give the distinctive lines under the tarp when it is draped into shape?





Looking forward to seeing how yours comes out.

Nige

Thanks for the pictures ,
your advice will be taken into consideration with regard the sheet at the mo its still tacky but when dry I will try to flatten it and form the cover and attempt to roll it up as before will scrutenise your pics at later dat ,concentrating on the trailer for now
