Starting an off-roader with a twist,it is inspired by the dead men walking loonies in Iceland and the have some nuts off roaders.They think nothing of racing up a vertical cliff in a 1000 bhp truck!

So a couple of kits will be combined,starting with this..

Along with the wheels and tyres off this..

While the brush was loaded tried some alloy on the std kit shell - quite nice methinks.

Cage looks great and the color choice is going to rock when you start to add the other chassis components. Everything will contrast just right. Icelandic style 4x4. 1705482731

That is one impressive roll cage, more like something you'd expect in a science fiction space craft than a hill climber. Agree with the colour - that is a sharp tone and will definitely set off the body details nicely! Icelandic style 4x4. 1705482731
