Revell 1/24 HLF20 Varus 4x4

[Guest]

Hi all made a concerted effort on the chassis today, still a bit more to add (this really is a great kit I'm loving this as much as the London bus)

[Guest]

Done a bit more to this amazing kit, the fit of parts is perfect, they really have done a great job of this kit the parts are such a good fit I've used no glue on any of this part.

Hi all next update.

[Guest]

coming along nicely mate , really enjoying this build

[Guest]

Hi all I love this kit, the fit is exceptionally good and the detail is great, again no glue


I tried a failed experiment the instructions say aluminium for this part so I tried aluminium foil

Yes I could try again but there are far more complex bits that have an aluminium background and this looks awful so I think I will use paint (although the ally doors will be simple enough with foil)

Hi all made a start on the many, many accessories in this vehicle.

Hi all I'm wondering if on the real thing these compartments are hinged some how

After adding this detail the other bit fits over the top like this

There are handles at the bottom of the outer shelving I'm wondering if I can some how make the parts hinged to show all the detail, there is loads of shelving like this and it would be a shame to hide all the detail.
Yes I could just not glue them so they are removable but I would like to try and make them as they are on the real thing.

A great idea Ken, it's a pity to hide the detail.

Hi all here is the next update, I would really love to add lighting to this but can’t find leds small enough.


It’s a good job I’ve not glued the cab on yet as I’ve missed some painting

Love the detail on this already Ken,nice work being done here

[Guest]

Hi all here are more of the many, many accessories for this vehicle

[Guest]

Hi all here's another update, I thought I could improve this bit so I cut the moulded on straps off and made some of my own


Then I thought to myself I can improve on that too.

I do think my bench is getting quite full (and this is not all I'm working on)

Here's an assortment of the accessories so far made for this.
