Looking ahead for next build, something that will end up for the Merdeka GB this year:
 Old Esci kit, tarted up by Italeri. I hope to finish it as a Malaysian ceremonial/parade LR such as this:  Still doing research, these vehicles were actually standard GS trucks modified by the respective units (every unit had one for parade purposes). Therefore there is no standard fit, each was done to the taste of the workshop team. However, the common thing is that they were highly polished with homemade chrome additions (hub caps, bumpers, mirrors, grab bar, flagpole etc) |

Nice subject.
But to get more 'feel' of the subject's presentation, you need to have a few rows of cadets. Hehehe... racun.. racun... |

So far I can recall Tamiya's Campus Friend set and Fujimi's Driver set. Both are quite rare nowadays but if you can get hold of one, maybe can *ahem* recast. |

Air Force or Army not yet decided - the figures look nice, but MAHALL....forget it lah
 Anybody got 3 1/24 standing figures for sale?  Anyway, started some cutting and sticking. This old ESCI kit is quite good, the chassis detail is really nice for the age...  The one piece body is a work of art, IMHO the most accurate Land Rover in IP around   Full LHD and RHD parts are provided. They also give the windscreen frame and transparent parts, along with the standard bumper and rear crossmember. As the parade LR's were mostly GS spec vehicles, it would be wrong to use the FFR parts. Some flash here and there, but nothing serious.     In terms of accuracy, from what I see it can tapau the Tamiya 1/35 version anytime. |

Thank Capt for the hint....
Rocco - The Fujimi quite cheap at 400 yen but plus 500 yen shipping = Rm 35 per box But I also found THIS - its GBP 3.00 (RM 15) per pack of 4. You have more knowledge on figures than me, which one better? Price lebih kurang....I guess the Fujimi is less risky rite? IF u ok, Ill order now..... |

I think these two is OK for Landy's project. Sean Connery looks like Jefri Zain while bowler looks like... emmm... Prebet Tawil? |

Landy, wait until I see what Bud has if you don't mind. Kinda pricey the shipping.
But the other option looks not bad also since I have to sculpt the baju. Don't know how good the face is. Cheers, Richard |
