Land Rover
Built by Mark Jakins in April 2016
Built at 1:24 scale. this Land Rover is substantially based upon the one shown in issue 107 of Constructor Quarterly, modified because I did not have the exact bits. Its steering is made from an elastic band. The model shown here contains 12 hinges. I was walking through Wimbledon and the Entertainer toy store had some funny space-age Meccano models reduced in price, each with two hinges. I bought out Wimbledon and Kingston stores, but could find no other sets. So boot, doors, window and seats are all hinged. It took me a day to build and then a week to get it right. I particularly like the small models.
