Brilliant in every way! I also dig the the photo backdrop. Are those the kit wheels & tires painted to suit? And who makes the camo decals?

Well Pat, I think you have outdone yourself on this one! Very ingenious to see that result out of the 1/35 scale armor piece. Looks great and goes with all those dune buggies you have been doing lately.

Thanks guys the the wheels and tyres are all plastic so painted them by hand before assembly, I'll go out into my log cabin later and find out the decal makers. I reality the vehicle would be perfect in real life, motorcycle steering, small combustion engine and six wheel drive with low pressure tyres, ideal for the beach!
Yes the decal makers are Scale Motorsport. I copied them and increased the size of the print to fit the builds. I think that they have a range that 1:1 car makers use to cover their prototype vehicles for road testing.

Yes Bernard, I've got two others, use two different backdrops. The first is where the surf is a bit close!  And the next shows the lifeguard station in the distance..  I used these when building the Surfite, plus some fine sand..  |
