Title: Rotabuggy
Post by: Camthalion on September 10, 2013, 03:04:03 PM

Stumbled across this quite by accident while net surfing and decided I needed to try and make one.   I thought it was something rather simple to start for today as I have just come off nightshift so simple  is all I can handle today.  Anyways I grabbed a Matchbox LRDG jeep which wasn't progressing at all and added the basic tail.

Definitely cool. 

I wonder how it would look to do a Humvee with similar?

This looks interesting Geoff, I've read about this somewhere too. I thought it was in 'Project Cancelled' but after a quick flick through the book I couldn't find it in there, so it must have been in one of the Air-Britain quarterlies I get.

I like the cut of your jib, sir.

Nice work, Cam! I look forward to seeing more!

Not much done, my shifts aren't good for modelling at the moment, but some more work on the rotabuggy tail
