JunkstyleGio Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 That looks nice! I even like the (way to green) main colour! Quote
syzygy87 Posted March 22, 2023 Author Posted March 22, 2023 Thanks a lot! I wanted to build it in sand green, or dark blue - a less bright color, but there are fewer parts available in these colors :( Quote
Johnny1360 Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 Looks great, very well done. I did get a chuckle though as it reminds me a lot of Clark Griswold's Wagon Queen Family Truckster. Quote
astyanax Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 I have no affinity with the source material, but I do love this model for how it looks by itself, it really pops! Quote
Berthil Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Well done! Nice detailed smooth finish on the whole build. Also not a fan of the green but understand why, may be the Landrover brings new Sand Green pieces to try in that color if you can motivate yourself to go through the whole designing process again. Not easy to do that again on a finished model. If any remark I would add some details in the back of the car, picknick basket or something like that. Quote
BrickWild Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 If you like, you can recreate my U-Haul Trailer using this parts list and .io model! ;-)https://brickshelf.com/gallery/TheScooterGuy/UHaul-Trailer/Update/u-haul_trailer_-creator_expert_scale_-_2023.xmlhttps://brickshelf.com/gallery/TheScooterGuy/Stud-io/Trailers/UHaul/u-haul_trailer_mt_scale_larger.io It should be of adequate scale for your models.

_TLG_ Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Very nice shaping and I like the color scheme too! Quote
lcvisser Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Nicely done, I like the color scheme, particularly the tan lines across the sides. The engine bay is a bit too cluttered I think (also noticed it in the F100), but that's literally the only thing I can comment on ;-) Quote

nerdsforprez Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 My grandfather drove this vehicle. Brings back so many memories right there.... Quote
PassengerJet Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 WOW It's an impressive car and all I can say is well done! Quote
2ndgen Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Holy wow, this is amazing. I can't believe the detail.......it's very very well done. Quote
syzygy87 Posted March 25, 2023 Author Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Again - thank you very much! :) I took pictures on city tires - worse for me, they look like they are too small, but it's the off-road ones that are too big (according to the scaler) :) But a big tire/wheel usually looks better, so that's probably the effect. ..and if I thought only about city tires, the car could sit lower, that would probably help too. Photos in the first post (the last five). Edited March 26, 2023 by syzygy87 Quote
grum64 Posted March 27, 2023 Posted March 27, 2023 There's nothing I dont like about this, I even like the colour. Great work, well done. Many years ago after going on a business trip to the US and seeing one of these, my friends Dad bought an old Range Rover and, using woodgrain effect Fablon stuck to the sides, tailgate and bonnet, made a desperate and quite honestly embarrassing attempt to recreate it. It looked awful but he liked it and I guess that was all that mattered. Quote
brickhead_07 Posted March 27, 2023 Posted March 27, 2023 Such an great looking build, I love it! Quote
syzygy87 Posted March 29, 2023 Author Posted March 29, 2023 Thanks again! :) On 3/27/2023 at 12:06 PM, grum64 said: Many years ago after going on a business trip to the US and seeing one of these, my friends Dad bought an old Range Rover and, using woodgrain effect Fablon stuck to the sides, tailgate and bonnet, made a desperate and quite honestly embarrassing attempt to recreate it.

To be honest, this wooden trim is quite embarrassing even on original cars - but it looks good on old American wagons.... ;) Quote
