Hi again everybody!

So i have started my next build. Slowly advancing.
Kit im building is tamiya "SAS Land Rover Pink Panther" (35076) 35th scale. Im also using some aftermarket products: Eduard photoetch set for land rover (35754) and Legend Productions "Pink Panther update/stowage set" (LF1262).

This is where im at so far:















Kit and fit have been pretty good so far My goal is to make not the Pink Panther, but rather Green Hornet'ish kind of vehicle.

Seen here:


My intentions are to go for the overall green look, im not going to replace (wheels) or scratch any details (radios, antennae placement, etc.) that are different on Green hornet.

If I ever win the lottery, this is the car I'll buy, not some fancy supercars.

Good morning everybody!

I just love the smell of modelling glue in the morning

Some updates.

Added a frame to the back of the bed. Eventually all of the backpacks in the rear will be tied down to that. Used a 0.8 mm wire to frabricate that.



After that attached some chain to the rear cargo stand on both sides.



Also managed to pop by the DMV



Simulatneously while glue is drying im working on my base for this vehicle. I use styrofoam and worked it with saw and knife to get the size and shape i want. Have covered all of the sides some fine putty (originally for wood flooring). Lots to be done still
