My SINDY range Rover WIP UPDATE 09/10/16

Dal,

Awesome vehicle to have in the garage eh mate

A friend in the US called Jay aka Voo Doo on some forums and FB did an amazing transformation job with his.
I hope to emulate his work with one Sindy Range Rover too. Plus do the WMIK Wolf XD custo, so guess I need a second one now LOL

Anyway here is mine and also roof removed as Dal said in his thread (pops off), plus showing the replacement wheels I plan to use once I have made a mold and cast them.




Seat layout for WIMK conversion.


Next to the RC HUMVEE shell, looks to be a perfect winner to me, slimmer but just as long.


New wheel option for Sindy Range Rover. Just a test fit.

It's looking very promising, a sexy black colour would really transform that vehicle

Anyone know what's the best material to use to make some long whip aerials for my vehicles? I was thinking something slightly flexable and robust.

Very cool Jason!, I think the range rover is a fab vehicle!, I have often thought of changing the wheels, but the biggest problem I think is wheel clearance. On my landy conversion, I built a wooden chasis to higher the vehicle to allow for bigger MTV wheels. However, the wheels you have seem to work great! I shall look forward to seeing it progress

Not sure on the whip aerial clivvers. Though thanks guys.

My Idea is to hopefully have THREE of these.

One to turn into a WMIK.
One as a AT type Adventure/Explorer vehicle with rack etc on the roof and spot lights (not sure on colour but not AT yellow).
One All Black with running boards and fitted Ladders on the roof (lay down and rotate on a base) for Anti Terrorism jobs.

Dal Thanks mate on the wheels, the PTE work a treat I think. If molding goes smoothly can run a set of four for you too? Be later this month I mold and cast them.

Also as I have mentioned my US friend Jay aka Voo Doo and his amazing transformation of the Sindy Range Rover, here you go. Has the Man done good or what?

Fantastic idea Jason!, three would be awesome!, hang on a minute! whats wrong with AT yellow?? . Hey, if yu can make me a set of wheels, that would be awesome!

I have seen voodoo's work on fb!, he did an amazing job on it, shame we cant get him to join us?,

fantastic , he has certainly transformed that range rover , but i'd have to agree Jason, better in black !

Cool Sindy range rover would be ideal for a SAS set up

He done good you all done good thanks for posting

I love the yellow AT paint job, very nice indeed!

Hawkeye a CRW Landie for the Sterling Lane boys would be nice.

That's a cool bar vehicle. VooDoo's may be one of the only ones on this side of the pond!

Well Not had luck getting a second RANGE ROVER.....yet. So WMIK is back burner.
Instead Plowing on with current Range Rover being Spec Ops covert ready.

So today, First thing to do is Get rid of the RED LOL



Now what do you guys think, leave this shade of Black or go for Gloss Black? I am actually torn on this.

Also today was some Mold making. The Icecream tub is a mold setting of the Powerteam Humvee Wheel. As Plan to add these to the Range Rover & the Humvee shell I have. Also make spares for the vehicles using this wheel type.



The other molds are weapons accessories

So busy Morning today.

The Range Rover looks great in Black, personally, I would leave it in the matt black format, it would suit the combat ready look better. However, at the end of the day, its your call my friend

Those molds look interesting, looking forward to seeing what comes out of them

You sure have gotten rid of the red, black looks much better, I think Gloss Black would make it look cooler but that what I just think. As Dal typed However, at the end of the day, its your call my friend.

Excellent work so far, Ian!  

I think the black colour the Range Rover is at the moment is great! A Satin black is perfect, an inbetween matt and gloss is the way to go if you can't make up your mind. It also looks more badass without being a shiny gloss finish. Gloss can show up imperfections more. Great stuff!  

for Badass, matt black all the way !

It's really looking good in the mat black

matt or satin id go for

Awesome Jason!

Thanks Guys for the kind words

First wheel popped out of casting!!

looking good Jace!

Cheers Dal.

Now have four plus a Spare.

Great stuff Jace! they will great painted up

Right BIG job done.

I have removed the Doors from the Range Rover. So now need to figure out working Hinge system (input anyone?) and Working doors





So get the hinges sorted, then refit interior and some Mod con kit. Then next is Windshield and glasses for the sides and rear. Though plan to make the rear working tilt UP, to go with the working tailgate tilt down feature.

It's coming on nicely!

Your homemade wheels look great! You'll also be able to make some very intresting looking cakes from those molds!
