Land Rover is about complete. Not quite as originally intended but fitting figures into the vehicle didn't allow for the original plan. And also both roof parts in the kit were twisted beyond straightening even if glued.

Really liking your work, but am curious about the figures that will populate the scene... watching with interest 🙂

Thanks Bruce. Three out of four figures for the Land Rover are complete and the fourth is finally underway now that I've managed to find suitable parts to get the pose I wanted. It's been tricky fitting figures not designed to fit in a vehicle into a vehicle that isn't designed to have figures fitted, and then also make convincing poses to fit the scene.

Thanks JV and Tyson. All the four safari-goers are now complete and waiting to be put in the Land Rover, but I'll wait for the final reveal before posting pics as I'm now waiting on the main attractions to be delivered so I can paint them up and finish things off. Now I have some time to think about an idea for the next project.

Amazing job on the cheetahs, and I agree with the lady behind the driver, they seem awfully close to the rover 🙂

Cheers Bruce, finished it about a week ago but had to wait for a sunny day to take some photos so that it actually looked right. And thanks Tyson, I was seeing spots where there were no spots for a while...

Just seeing this now. Really nice! I love the cheetahs, the dio captures the safari perfectly.

Thanks Jennifer. Now I need some inspiration, and cash, for the next project.

I hear you on the cash part. It has cost me a fair bit to start into this hobby.

Album info

My next door neighbour and good friend was born and raised in Kenya. He's soon to be turning sixty-five and almost retiring. He and his wife return once every few years and go on safari so I thought I'd make something to present to him on his big occasion. Trouble is if I like it too much myself I'll find it hard to let it go. Oh well...
