With the plasti-card turning up (I went for 2mm thickness), and much staring at it wondering what I had let myself into Shocked , I finally decided to get stuck in.
With a design in mind, a sort of modern take on a vehicle action man could use (much like an action team vehicle)on his adventures, I started to cut Sad Very Happy .
As some of you may have noticed from my earlier pics, I used some grey plastic to build up the missing dash board part(taken from a trainer tower control panel, I decided to do away with the middle seat and turn it into a communication centre.

The next job was to build up the dash board and front part of the land rover,

Having spent most of yesterday cutting the body parts I then started to glue it together, and soon it began to take shape Very Happy

Then I added the front screen and cover for the driver compartment, this is about as far as I got bounce

With the rear sides fitted, it was time to start the back to give it a bit more definition. I also added a roof and a few running struts. I also added a part under the radiator grill. I also added an old rifle rack in the rear and a small compartment as well as a fuel tank.
With these jobs done I then added a external fuel tank and what will eventually become a first aid box. I also found a steering wheel which fitted in nicely. Next job ? Filler Shocked

lol! , cheers Damo, and I am so pleased that you like it Very Happy . The plasti-card is really simple to work with, all you need really is a steel rule, a stanley blade and a cutting board and pencil. I used 2mm thickness plasti-card because it is the same thickness as vam vehicles and I found it really simple to work with. I have only tried straight lines tho mate, but I would recommend it to anyone having a bash at a custom cheers
