Just as an update, these are the snatch Landrovers complete. Obviously the panels on them are not correct and the wheelbase may well be too long but these cost around £4 for the pair as opposed to actually buying a resin vehicle which would have cost more than double the amount.
If I ever come across these little models at car boots etc I will buy them as stock for a rainy day as there are plenty of options to carry out more conversions. I really should attempt to build an ambulance out of one as I used to drive one for HM! Also the fitted for radio short wheelbase version is on the cards but for the WMIK I have gone for the easy route and ordered one from Grubby tanks.
Anyway here are a few more pics-if you own a Dremel or similar a cheap cutting tool kit can be bought for around £6 and should last for hundreds of die cast alterations....have a go and good luck!
I must ask what is the Lesney armoured car based on (if anything?). Maybe the Ferret or Coventry armoured car? Either way I now have two painted up in British army livery....at just over a pound each I could not resist.
Keep blogging Chaps I need your ideas.
Great conversion work.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Thanks Pete, they were cheap and will be used a lot in my games.
DeleteLovely work. Doesn't it say what they are on the underside?
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon, they are marked as Landrover Safari. Not much help really. I just hope I don't get lynched by the Lesney collectors club!
