Here's one all stripped of blue paint with a polished body ready for new paint. I removed all the extra casting nonsense for the luggage and thought I'd admire the fine classic Landy lines for a bit before I continued.12c Landy with a plain smooth roof (no junk on top)
12c Landy with a plain smooth roof (no junk on top)
Did you ever want to see a version of the 12c landy with a simple plain roof? Think of the alternate variation possibilities: Police, Fire, Rescue/Ambulance, Life Guard, all manner of civil applications. Too bad for us matchbox regular wheel lovers, all we got was the junk on the roof version Here's one all stripped of blue paint with a polished body ready for new paint. I removed all the extra casting nonsense for the luggage and thought I'd admire the fine classic Landy lines for a bit before I continued.

When you take a piece of old wood lets say from an old piano and plane down all sides is it not a new piece of wood..Is this glorious casting not now a new Land Rover ready for a perfect or indeed weathed finish ? I love a good naked casting in the morning.

I find there is a certain baeuty in having a naked model (yes them as well!!) and have a collection of Dinky 'Action Kits' Rolls-Royce and have aquired a few made up but left naked and that is how they will stay. I have enough of them built up and painted so can enjoy the versions 'As Is'.

The TV show "Murder in Paradise" is a good example of a 1:1 artificially aged vehicle (in this case a Landy) to make it appear older, beat-up up and very weathered. The one above already has a new finish on it and is going to be a rescue vehicle of a certain type (not a fire truck, not a police car, not an ambulance, not military). It has a clean roof now, but I am working on completely different "junk" for the roof. I'll post it when it's finished and I hope some of you like the changes. It's taking longer than expected cause my printer keeps smudging the last of the decals I'm trying to make.misterpop wrote:a new Land Rover ready for a perfect or indeed weathed finish ?

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.
