My SINDY range Rover WIP UPDATE 09/10/16

LOL Clive.

It is coming along nicely though. Thought I had some various size hinges but for the love of me cannot find them Grrrrr. So Doors not fitted yet.

Change of plan on wheels for the RANGE ROVER.
Saw these and now just waiting for them to arrive this week



1/10 scale RC tires at 108mm diam.  Just Perfect and fit perfectly with the Range Rover look.

So looks like this weekend Some work back on track with the RANGE ROVER.

So the Cast HUMVEE wheels will now be going onto the second HUMVEE I have that needs a total chassis build. Awesome

Nice looking project you've got going on there, wheels look great.
Is it going to be jacked up like voodoos yellow one?

Those wheels look very mean!  You won't see no w---n driving on those things, they wouldn't be able to handle them!

Thanks Chaps

@ Jet, Yep similar height as I think it actually helps bring the vehicle into scale for the figures as well as a more aggressive look lol

@ Clive, LOL maybe but then you get some touch SOB female operators you know

stunning stuff Jace!, looking forward to future updates

Been awhile but the 1/6th mojo is back in play.

Hardest part I had was figuring out to make the cut out doors (from the molded body) be re attached and working. which style hinges etc.

Well I am happy to say that the hardest part of this project is now done.

We have a RANGE ROVER and working doors

I used some small hinges I got and measuring for a top and bottom one, dremelled with cutting disk a slot into the doors and also the main vehicle body.
Test fitted and once happy Made permanent attached to doors/vehicle body.



Doors closed side views, doors closed.




Front view Doors opened.



Currently the Rover is drying from a New coat of Black bringing it all together.

Then to attach wheels, add a windshield and tinted side and back glass. Rear glass will Tilt Up (hopefully) as I have some Dolls house hinges for that. Then comms suite in the front and possibly concealed holsters.

Then Kit the bugger up
Though debating adding Dash and rear Blues n Twos lights. Not sure on that yet.

So this will be my Covert Ops Range Rover and the other one when I start that after this will be Adventure/Explorer...dare I say AT based LOL Never had an AT anything in the past lol

Amazing work Jace!, it really has come a long way! and well worth all the effort! . really looking forward to seeing more, as and when! Awesome stuff!

Cheers Dal.

Will be more updates over the weekend As soon as the paints dried

May start on the second one too. Thinking NO Doors, adding windshield only and then very similar to Jay's (VooDoo) Awesome custom Ranger Rover https://actionmanmobileops.forumotion.co.uk/t6434-adventure-team-rover

Question is do I go AT Yellow or some other colour or even leave Red?? Decisions LOL

Its an interesting choice, what colour to go?, maybe camo?? (just to be annoying! ). The idea of no doors tho, that could be cool, but don't forget the big wheels and higher suspension

It's starting to look mean, nice work again Stonewall

looks fantastic great work

Great job!

Thank You Chaps for the very kind words

Today got the windshield fitted, side glass on drivers door and as a Covert ops vehicle, Interior Roof Blues & Twos.



From within view


Switch for Blues n Twos fitted to dashboard (passenger side).


Lights on photo. Please excuse the towel on the roof to darken o show lights better.

Top work Jace!

Thanks Dal.

Now need order the rear Interior lights for the rear LOL
Gives me time to fix the rest up whilst wait for that to arrive from the US.

FYI the Interior lights are 1/18th scale and work a charm for interior lights as you can see. Chap on US ebay sells them pre made kits. He has a video showing in use too. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150375495286?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Calling it quits now, as Taking Claire to SCREAM EXTREME Tour tonight MWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

stonewall my 1/6th scale bro , you have done an impressive job so far . i am eagerly waiting to see the finished job

Thank You Kindly Jim.

Me too my 1/6th brother, me too Should be a nice piece indeed I hope.

Well fitting seats for figures for the Range Rover.

Decided give a decent range so a VAM & TTL19 type to give variety on body types.

Dremel out and cut seats to fit better.




Doors closed.





Also whilst dremel out, I cut the doors off Range Rover No2. However not going to be re fitting the doors. Leaving it open access.

More excellent upgrades Jace!. Very nice work indeed

Cheers Dal.

Hopefully have some photos later today if the children allow me time lol

I'm liking the lights! Nice work

Thanks Clive, Figured as a coverts op vehicle need a Traffic remover device and the lights fit that bill LOL

Update on Range Rover No2.

Now has Bullbars.



Ladder at the back.




Will be sprayed silver and weathered. Though plasticard metal plate will be added.



So Far liking how this is going. Though still debating main colour of the body.



Still need a metal Roof cage and will also be adding 4 x LED Spot lights at the front of the cage too.

Anyone got vehicle tool brackets spare? Jerry cans?

Excellent work so far Jace!, the bull bars looks amazing!

As for tool brackets, have you considered thin brass strips (easy to bend into shape) in to hook type shapes and painted??

looking great
