Magnificent work Steve. That is a very well-worn Blitz. A lot of detail to look at in those pictures.

Steve a beautiful piece. My favorite is the chipping effects as always a great built by a master builder.

 

[Steve Jones]

Kind of you to say Lee. It would be nice to see some of your work again on the forum. I hope all is okay

I may be 7 hours ahead in GMT but am always late for the party. Great finish as always Steve. Can't help but remember seeing something weathered like this many years ago while researching for my R & R dio...



And they work perfectly chugging along merrily in the hills of Cameron Highlands...the second most saturation of landrovers outside of the UK.

Cheers,
Richard

 

[Steve Jones]

Looks like an idea for a build to me! Thanks for the feedback

Its been a real pleasure to follow Steve. You have finished with a superb model, it truly looks used and abused with the brilliant weathering.

 

[Steve Jones]

Thank you Mick. That was the look that I was going for so I am glad it worked out.

Definitely captures the look of an old campaigner. The finish details are awesome, even down to the leaking axle lube. A stunner for sure. PaulE

 

[Steve Jones]

The devil is in the detail Paul. I could have done more but wanted to move on. Thanks for the support
