This is a build of the Killerbody Radio Controlled Toyoya Land Cruiser LC70. (Scale 1/10).
The client wants it to look "used but looked after".
I have all the parts. He even bought the roll-up-and-down windows and full interior add on kits. The kit is of beautiful quality.
I struggled to paint the add-on seats because they are made from a type of silicon that paint simply does not easily adhere to. Eventually, I used Rust-Oleum grey primer that I let stand for a week after spraying. That gave the best results though I still had to do some touchups after I had carefully installed them.
I bought a figure of a farmer online, modified him to a sitting position, and 3D resin printed it. Came out nicely. However, the legs were too short to reach the pedals and I had to do some good old school-type modeling on him.
Even the windows can wind down! (Aftermarket add-on).
The engineering in this chassis is astounding and a pleasure to build, though challenging at times - which is good!
