Classic Range Rover

[grant_3250]

Picked up this Italeri Range Rover kit from a car swap meet. It was amongst tables of plane kits at a cost of just $8 AUS!. The theme for the car is a weathered hauler, something that would tow a car to race day (I have a scratch built trailer on the way!). I scratch built a slab of Jack Daniels, Australian number plates and a Supercheap Auto catalogue in the front. The weathering and detail painting took a lot longer than expected but I’m happy with the results. Feel free to comment.

I like the mild weathering you did.

Cool!  I'm a sucker for a beater!   Nice job on the weathering and rust, so easy to overdo and most folks do!

Per the Jack Daniels, what you call a "slab" we call a "case".    Expensive stuff, nobody can buy a whole case!  And a story.. for my 30th birthday, my wife threw me a big surprise party.  And it seems everyone's gift was a bottle of Jack!   I had enough Jack for the next decade!   I drank some, regifted some,  marinated meat in Jack...  got tired of it and haven't bought any in a long while!
