| Re: 'Maddogs and Englishmen'
Right another shot now I have got the Proportions pretty much there. I was a little out at the front so I added a piece in  So the Plan:- I had a Couple of PM's from 'Maddog Madigan' in regards to the Red 4 Door FJ that I just finished and sold. He asked me if I wouldn't mind making another one... Well I don't do copies of my work usually and this is no different. So I found another 4 door that somone had built and this is going to be used for reference. The Twist with this one is it has a Removeable Hard Top, Internal Cage with Tube Doors and also a few other touches that I will get on to later if I can pull them off  Hood Will Open Wings and Running Boards will be removeable as will the bed area. So I'm doing the Bodywork also the Chassis and 'MD' is going to do the mechanical fitting out on the Rig. The Word Currie has been floating about so I'm pulling out all the stops with this one as requested. Picture Wheelbase is around 310mm I added a little extra in the rear door area from last time.

I cut them with a Sharp Knife in my Front Room I don't have a workshop yet which makes things rather hard. | |

Top tip here I don't usually give out my secrets but here's one for you. Get yourself a Tablet. I use a Galaxy but an Ipad or whatever would work as well. When trying to get pieces cut the right size its very handy to have an image that you are trying to replicate. Simple enlarge the image on the screen to whatever size you are building and you can almost trace it!! Makes getting dimensions and angles a breeze. Also kinder to the enviroment and your pocket because your not printing out hundreds of pictures.  |

you said you do't like to share your secrets so I'm not going to ask, but your work really impresses me. I think it would be great to watch someone do this kind of work. I'd say you are a master modeler |
