HI pinz the paint i used on the landy was grey car primer which i got about 2 years ago found in the loft, also used a bit of a indelible ink pen, and the other paints i use on my models is acrilyic paints sometimes thinned down. Anyway LARA,s legs have been bent a bit better to fit on the mine loco,i stuck her in boiling water bent the legs then when i got the shape right under the cold tap and hey presto she ready to sit down {nice}. cheers mike...ann..x.

HI, again ive still got to put the lights/indicators/wing mirrors on the landy i forgot to say before, and try and find a set of number plates? off one of the old models hopefully?. mike....ann..x..
Don't want to worry you unduly Mike but.... I could have sworn I glimpsed a Traffic Warden creeping out of the undergrowth towards the Land Rover. An evil glint in his eye and muttering "Tax Disc not displayed on correct side of windscreen" !!!
You'll need to make a scaled down parking ticket to put on the windscreen!

the last traffic warden to stick a ticket was gassed by thunder knickers so i dont think another one will show?. Oh but anyway what,s to stop this being a TRICK?? the tax disc being on the wrong side to lure the next two legged ticket sticker!, so they can get his/her head blown off?!! by a right good blast!.
