Sand Rover body Restoration / Modification 5 years 10 months ago #63266

Used the media blast cabinet for the first time in this shop and the first time in forages hahaha Gave the driver clean plus the seats in the main body since the rest hasn't been painted.

Today I bonded all the pieces of the driver back together and attached the arms in the correct locations :) I made a brace for the head screw and added a small infill, Also needed a small infill for the right arm. Tomorrow I will prime then fill as required, I have already filed the arms and head joints shouldn't need to much ;)

Primed filled and sanded then primed filled and sanded again :lol: Most of the work of course was around the arms but I'm happy with the result :) Undercoated the body and head, Colour coated the hat then base coated the rear lights and steering wheel. Next is the part requiring a steady hand and I'm now happy Santa brought me Glasses for Christmas :laugh:
