Overloaded Land Rover
This is an Italeri 4 wheel drive 109" LWB kit I bought on Ebay. I am not completely finished with this kit yet. I still have many extra accessories to add, which I'm waiting on. I call this little vignette is called 'Proud'. The African driver is proud of how he managed to pack his entire belongings in one go.

The idea comes from looking at many pictures of various overloaded vehicles from around the world. Some more rediculous than others. I am adding another figure of a guy taking a pic of the African driver and his personal belongings.

It's probably a bit too much but it's so well done that fun comes from that too much vision

Do an internet search for overloaded vehicles and you will change your mind.

No need to do an internet search I know what you probably refers to, but if you did it you probably have noticed than most overloaded african vehicles are trucks not land rover !!

and I confirm my comment, the big black "don't know what" in the middle to give volume is PROBABLY too much...

The TV on the top is great though !
