    Love the landrovers mate it makes a refreshing change, they would look good if you made them ito a kind of off road scene. I dont actually know what they call them.

    Loved to see the RS1700T in there!
    You clearly have a talent for this.
    I've got an original (metal) RS17T model still in the box.
    I wonder what'll happen to the value of it if it's built up and completed, or left boxed? Any thoughts?
