Nice

I would switch rims now.. The green matches the decals better then the red.

Those light kits look nice.

loulou it is easy to make your own lights just some leds and solder . here is a idea for a snorkel for your land rover , a good friend from the tamiya club sent me this , it is made from a cheap computer usb fan and the top bit is a cheap toy headlight fix, the tubeing back to the body with some steel wire .looks much better than the stock snorkel and easy to make ,thanks ..

p2

toy car headlight just painted black ,

p4 fix back to body with steel wire .

i bileive you can also use some shower tubeing for this .and some members have just use.d the top of a tooth paste tube for the end of the snorkel..

THANK .. WAYNE S .. ..........

NAT .. THANK for the idea of snorkel .. but I received mine, (stock part) of my seller, but if I lose this one, I need your idea .. THANK more ..



PS .. for lights, if I find equipment (used toy store), I will make the kit myself ..

The metal used for that (1:1 Flexible dryer hose
snorkel)

Is flexible metal electrical conduit. No knead searching for a fan, if you know what the product is, for those that like that style.

Tooth paste caps is an old static model trick. Another trick is to mold something simple like that or something that kneads to be clear out of clay. Then use a plastic bottle to make the part out of. You put the part on a stick (small pieces I use a pencil) spray the part with a non stick cooking spray (Pam) heat the plastic
with a heat gun or hair dryer, keep pushing the piece into the plastic until it takes form of the part you are making.

Thats a poor mans vacuforming machine.
vacuforming machines are simple to make.

PS: pill / tooth paste caps make good 1/24th scale car/truck K&N air cleaners / filters

WAYNE S .. NAT .. All these ideas are very good .. if only I had my snorkel not been delivered, I would have certainly experienced your ideas (the idea of melt plactic, is very good) .. THANK ..
