BlrwestSiR Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Very nice! Just made me looks for Ladas in Canada. None for sale at the moment. Carl 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Thanks Carl, a unique car in our streamlined times at least, that's why my wife wanted to own one. Now she will get the small one for Christmas. Cheers Rob 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough, I wouldn't mind a Sherp. Have no idea what I would do with one except not get stuck in the winter time. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside of a vehicle which is more unstoppable than others is, if you got stuck somewhere, there is nobody able to pull you out .

DocRob Posted December 12, 2020 Author Share Posted December 12, 2020 A friend of mine, who is more gifted than me concerning woodworks, has supplied me with two bases in the shape of the island, I'm living on. Not sure which I will use (slight tendency to the darker one), but after the decision, the Lada gets it's mirrors and is done.

BlrwestSiR Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 The darker base looks better to me as well. I like the woodgrain in it more. Carl 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaS Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I vote for the darker one, too! Curious: How big is your island? Is it the kind of place where everyone knows everyone else? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusMac Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Like the darker one too. I'm guessing from the shape you live on El Hierro? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, it's not that small as it looks with the Lada on it, scale wise, but it has maybe 10.000 inhabitants. There is no mayor crime here and in the moment we have no Covid as well. A great place to be in these strange times. 2 hours ago, GusMac said: I'm guessing from the shape you live on El Hierro?

Winnie Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 The Lada looks awesome! AS for the SHERP, the local hydro electric company has a few... (Manitoba Hydro) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Thank you Winnie, I had lots of fun building it. It was my first full resin kit, and I would do some things different (better) next time, but in the end, I like the result. A Niva is far from perfect and that's how I finished it .
