SimonT - 4x4 1/24 Esci Range Rover

[Si Benson]

Interesting stuff going on here Mr T. The block work wall looks good....any suspect mortar lines can be hidden behind a traditional garage ‘gentleman’s calendar’ or a ropey looking modular shelf unit :smiling5:

Morning Simon
You never fail to entertain :smiling2: It seems obligatory for your models to go through many ups and downs before emerging at the end as quality results. The tyre idea was a good one - perhaps you should have done it after breakfast. Wall should stay flat with the backing.

Simon, hope you didn't undercook your breakfast mate.

Hi Simon, my Range Rover was a four door 89 model with a 200tdi in it, I couldn't afford to run a V8!
I think the tyres look ok considering you are doing it as a rusty barn find, the wheel nuts & valves are a nice touch too.:thumb2:

[SimonT]

Steve - cheers

Si - don't think you can have that many shelves or calendars

Jim - plenty of ups and downs for sure

Ross - at least I didn't eat the tyres and stick my egg butty on the car

Graeme - thanks :smiling5: I bet the V8 is a tad thirsty

Nice work Simon so far and sunny side up wheels that's a first for me. :smiling2::smiling2:

[Jim R]

Hi Simon
Nice looking framing. Another one to do?
Jim

[SimonT]

Hi Jim - made two at the same time :thumb2:

[Fernando N]

Looks great Simon, the dio idea is very nice and love the damage done to the Rover.:thumb2:

Following on from the back seats.

[SimonT]

Thanks Fernando

Assembled the frames and main wall section

still need to add the short wall sections but they will need some fettling to make them fit the photo frame base

Quick test to see what it looks like with some wriggly tin

[Graeme C.]

The barn for the 'barn find', looks interesting, a bit of suitable junk perhaps?

[SimonT]

Hi Graeme - if there is space then it will get a few dusty boxes and maybe an oil drum in the corner

Not had much time so only managed to roll a load more roof panels - should have enough now for the full roof

[Jim R]

it will get a few dusty boxes and maybe an oil drum in the corner
....and a 1985 Pirelli calender on the wall☺️

Simon,
Not sure how I missed this up till now, but great work all round your modelling skills still impress me after all this time. Really like the breeze block stamp.
