For chrome bits I used scraps from plastic model car kits. The tube-shaped frames from the car part sheets where great.

Then just used the model car paint to paint the matchbox car.

now for my matchbox cars there not very old ones as im still a teenager
first up the defender 90's


now the discovery's


and now the freelanders




im sorry i dont have any rangies i have seen a few in the shops in fact there is a new range rover sport at the moment and there is also a few of the new defenders out now in matchbox i do have a g4 defender but i couldnt find it so i hope you enjoy these few i know that the photos are not the best but you get that

during the next couple of weeks i am going to modify the defender ute made out of lego and i am goin to try and make the new defender range
might even have a go at a few discos

Time to get my camera out I only have a few cars left, a 90 (same as on of the ones in your pic schmierer) got a disco (same one as the second from the right, the dark green one), and two rangies, also a few lego landies in the cupboard somewhere. Oh and a micromachine series 3 109 and a matchbox land rover safari that had a pink roof-less caravan.

Oh, is it strange at all that I'm 19 and getting excited about lego Land Rovers? Never too old to play with lego I guess.
