Land Rover Re-imagined.

Okay, so yesterday I had to make a trip to the local dump to drop off some garden waste. While I was throwing the stuff in the massive bins, I spotted what looked like an old 1/10 scale r/c truck. The body was pretty banged up but the chassis looked to be in good condition, so I fished from the top of the massive containers and brought it home.
As I had suspected he r/c part and body shell were beyond repair, butt he chassis was perfect . After about an hour of messing about with it, removing the body shell and cleaning it, I was left with this.



This gave me an idea, as my old land rover custom needed some work as it was showing signs of wear. I stripped away the old chassis I had made, made a few alterations to the land rover shell and fitted it to the new chassis!
Gentlemen, I give you the "Dino Hunter"!





It still needs a little bit of work and a few finishing details, but you guys get the idea!

Wow, I’m really liking the look of the Dino Hunter.

Now that's a beast!...and definitely a VAM truck. With a blower that size sticking out of the bonnet there's no way it's eco-friendly enough for a MAM. It has a carbon foot print bigger than it's massive tyres!

I need more bouncing screaming dancing giggling icons! THIS IS SO COOOOOOOL!!!!!!

Oh, you're gonna need an entire story arc just to introduce this beast! I can almost imagine Jake walking in to the motorpool to review the newest creation and being presented with this! Or Conan, puffing on his pipe, simply nodding and saying, "yes, yes, this will do. This will do nicely."

It's outrageously cartoonishly adventurous and unrealistic and totally awesome! What a score, and what a marvelous kitbash!

Can't wait to see the Dino Hunter in action!

That is outrageous in a good way!

Holy s#!%

What a great find mate, perfect for your Landy bash.

Those dinos are in for a shock when that beast rocks up on the scene

Never saw a Monster Truck made out of a Landy, that is so cool!!! Not sure I ever saw a 1/6th scale Monster Truck.

Great one, Dal, and if it fits in your garage, you're all set!!!

Definitely not eco friendly, but full of power! Jake will have to keep it away from the eco warriors! Still a few bits to add, but it's coming along quite well so far

Cheers Dave! I reckon you have just about summed up Lord Conan's response to such a beast! Just what he needs for his adventures, but will Jake let him take it out of Dinosaur Valley???

I don't think there is much chance of fitting that into a garage Bri . It will have to live in an outside parking bay .
Thanks for the great comment too!
