Tim over at his Megablitz blog has been holding a "Çar Month" this March, and while I have not had any cars to work with I am hoping that these Series III Land Rovers will suffice. They are Kongwell diecasts, and while they are not bad at all, the colours and schemes are not right for 1980's British Army or NZ Army. First up I banked the clear panels and grill with Blue tac in prep for painting. 
Flat Black primer coat. 
More Blue tac for the disruptive pattern scheme, some will have just a canvas top so no need to wrap them. 
Then another coat with the OD colour. 
Ready for touch up colouring. Three or four more to go, of which I will colour without the disruptive scheme.
AHA!!!! I just got to post on your count of 166666 :-D
ReplyDeleteThe lannies look great. With all the blue tack bulging out of the windows it looks like the airbags have gone off :-D
I used to love driving them...the sound of the tyres on the road surface...great
Cheers
