Great job! Not to diminish the work done, but now it looks like another run of the mill Matchbox Originals to me. Were you aware of the Matchbox Originals paint colors when choosing the scheme?
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

Thanks Tinmann and Matchboxtom.
Tinmann I first had to look what you meant by "mill Matchbox Originals".
No I was not aware of the colour sheme of the Bedford in that run.

Just finished this Land Rover.
It became new tyres because the originals where all damage expect of one which is now the spare wheel.
The windscreen was missíng - the turned down windscreen is printed.

I like the color, and it looks good with the windscreen down.

How much does each of those wind screens cost (if I might be so bold as to ask)?

No Problem.
The part should not cost more then 2 Dollar if I order them at shapeways.
But this part was made by a friend for free.
If you want I can sent you 1 or 2 of them.
But the parts need a little work which should not be a problem for you.

And Bob thanks for your reply - I like the color too thats how a Landy should look like.

Hi,

the red Rolls Royce is my latest custom model.
This was a not that easy because a part of the body was missíng and is replaced by a part of the cut away roof.
