Hi all,
After a long trawl through the various threads here I found Rick’s wonderful unimog build.
The model itself is from:

Head over to Rick’s full build for a far more in-depth look that mine will be!
HMV Mercedes Benz U1000 Unimog 1:24

I thought the Mog would be a perfect as a basis to build a new bodyshell for my 1:35 scale rock crawler chassis.
The chassis I’m using is an Orlandoo Hunter. A great kit built ‘hobby grade’ 4x4 crawler.
I have been really enjoying building shells for this using paper models as its far quicker for me, from conception to the finished article, than using plastic kits (of which I have a few ongoing projects).
Being new to this forum lark i thought I’d try my hand at documenting the build and some of its hurdles as I try and modify the original designs for my needs.
Please let me know if there is anything you’d like to know or if there is anything I could be doing differently to improve.
Both on the model and the build thread! Haha.
Onwards...
Here’s a little teaser of the sheets printed after a Rehash and recolour...
Thanks for looking,
