Lrdg truck ( Long Range Desert Group )

Morning all,
This is a little project that I have been working on lately. I have only used the wpl chassis and cab in this build albeit heavily modified to get it looking somewhat near to the chevy trucks used, all other major parts have been made using styrene sheet and rods etc. I lowered the whole chassis by about 15mm to try and get the low stance of the truck and the cab has had many changes including lowering the door sills to the running boards, extending the arches at the front and rear and making the open front grille for aiding the airflow to the radiator. I've used a servo for the steering with a 30amp esc and 2s lipo, it has a truck sound module and a separate sound module for the mg sounds and flashing lights which runs to the Lewis machine gun in the cargo bed. So far I've only given it a base coat of light sand, It still needs a lot of little details adding yet and painting of all the extra bits. The pics show where I'm at now and how I started out with it and the last couple of pics are what I've been working from to achieve this
Cheers,Lee.
