And here I am, sharing my first project on this forum: a Land Rover Defender of His Majesty Coastguard. I recently came across some pictures and loved the livery. I’m planning a small vignette inspired by the picture below.
Given the limited number of Defender kits available, I will be using the 1/35 Hobby Boss kit, straight OOB. Obviously not the right version, but I care more about the livery, and the kit is the closest to the ones in use, from what I’ve seen online. The only element I’d like to add is the emergency lights at the top; if anybody has a suggestion for an aftermarket option, I’ll take it!
I will have to create the decals myself, which should be fun (?).
The vignette will be more or less what you see in the picture above, which will give me a first chance to work with water as well.
Bear with me, since I’m not the fastest builder; I’m hoping to be done within the next 6 months so it’s ready for the next IPMS contest in my city.
