Rover Move Over!

Well this one was a quick job I wanted to make a tuff looking land Rover 1 ton and I think I go close. I was waiting for some Lego tires and have not gotten them yet but they should be in soon and when they do come in I will make the chassis into a Real Betty K type dirt buggy!

In the meantime I wanted to make it look like it’s been thru hell and back and lived to tell the tale! The chassis needs a lot more tweaking but it will soon be a real brawler!

I had to cut a slot in the top of the chassis all the way around to make the body fit but I think with the modification I am going to do to the chassis the slots will be the least of the cutting!

Nice work, SWG... that kicks ass. Man, I don't know... I'd leave those tires and wheels on there and build something else when you get those Lego wheels. That looks so good, I wouldn't even think about fuckin' with it.

I've got a couple of plastic miltary shells from the dollar store, but nothin' even close to that cool... where'd you score that body?

That's a super sweet truck. I agree, keep the wheels/tires ya got. I've eyeballed those mini-military diarama stuff at the lhs, but didn't ever think any of them could get squeezed on a bit chassis. Nice Job!

Did someone say, "leave the tires", yet? Ah, well, just in case, I'd leave those wheels as is. It already looks cool just the way it is. :-o
