Isuzu Bighorn- an unfortunate choice of name. Curbside kit, with a shallow interior to fit batteries, etc. Chassis is really rubbish.

I tried acrylic auto paint, on top of an allegedly protective primer. Wrong. Orange peel city. After a couple of rub throughs,trying to polish it out, I gave up & repainted then polished. Still not satisified so out came the toothbrush of mud.

A recent shower & some ant hills give the "off road setting". Well, our back yard is off the road........

No WIP's since it's such a crude kit. The body is well moulded, though, and you get a choice of dashes or LHD or RHD.

It looks the part in that setting. Way to turn a set back into a cool model.

Steve, its a Fujimi kit, # ID-51. I got it from this mob http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10067733

I've only dealt with 'em once, but the models arrived quickly & intact.

Cheers,

Chris

Hi Webby,

I first thought you had made a diorama, then read it was your garden, it really looks good in that setting, love the weathering, it is something I have yet to try...
