| Home on the Range Rover (new title same build)
I've always wanted to build a Range Rover and had some time to kill today. So I started sketching out the body next thing I knew I was cuttin and gluin and thought I better start a thread before I got to far along. I don't know how fast this build will be (I'm not known for my speedy builds) since all I have is the tires and some styrene. Oh well on to the specs and pics Body: hand built 70's Range Rover Chassis: ? Axles: MRC I think Tranny: ? Wheels: 1.55 steelies Tires: MT Baja MTZ's This is the body style I'm shooting for This is what I have done so far I didnt expect to get this far today. Not having the rest of the parts kinda makes it hard to get excited about going to far. On the up side my B-day is next month maybe I can talk the wife into an early present.

Comming along nicely, what are your plans for the chassis, a scale shassis and suspension setup would be cool.

Awesome styrene skills, my best work with styrene was a rectangle. But then that's how it came out of the package! lol |

I started the seats this weekend, they are almost done just a bit of filling, sanding and paint started by building a frame then boxing them in then laminate the details on then do it two more times just sitting them in for mock up | |

That looks awsome. Any ideas what colour you are going with? there were some sweet two tones on those models Petrol filler turned out a treat |
