G'day Dennis
This replica will eventually have a 'as in service' appearance when finished.
As part of this project I will simply 'clean' under the vehicle with a high pressure steam cleaner and then give it a garnet 'whip over' with the sandblaster. I will then give it a coat of paint.
When the Landy is finished, I will take it into the bush for a 'final coat of realism'. By driving it through bushes and mud it should scratch and dirty up nicely thereby giving it that 'used and abused' look that adorned all of the LRPVs. It's a bit like a model maker building a tank model and then making it look 'war weary'.
