The latest- a Land Rover with scratchbuilt windows

Hi everyone- Here's a look at the latest, a 12c Land Rover in green. Not too special, except that I scratchbuilt the windows using some clear plastic packaging. The whole story is on my website. Sorry, no "before" photos... I THOUGHT I shot them, but I can't find them anywhere. Trust me, it looked pretty bad (though not as bad as some I've had!)

If you give that blister pack plastic the Future Floor Polish treatment (before installing) they will look even better.

Plastic stock has always been a good way to make windows. Here some I made years ago, long before replacement window inserts were available. I even did a clear window Greyhound bus but I couldn't find the pics of that one.
