Title: Austin Tilly Utility Vehicle
Post by: Robomog on February 01, 2026, 08:18:41 AM
Hi all

You probably know about my quest to find a vehicle for my scale shots of 1/48 aircraft that resulted in an overscale landrover, well here is its replacement.

Not many parts its quite a compact kit, I've started pre painting the parts

Hi all

Made some progress on the tilly

Most of the Chassis is complete

Installed the glazing in the body shell and masked it out

Primer coat......

Rust applied then covered with maskol

Brush coated with olive drab, the backstory being this is a surplus military vehicle bought up by a civilian and sprayed yellow, badly.

Some of the green is masked out.

Yellow coat.........

Maskol is rubbed off to reveal the green and rust underneath......

The wear in the back is a bit too regular so that will need addressing, next job is some weathering and shading so it looks used

Thanks for looking..........

Coming along. Weathering this back could be a bit of fun

Looks good! I'm tempted to start on the 1/35 version.
