landroversforever Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I thought this deserved its own post rather than adding it to my other thread! A birthday present from the girlfriend back in November! As there's nothing in the picture to scale it.... its 1.5m x 1m canvas that she has painted for me taking the best bits from two of LRs promotional pictures. The water and mud at the bottom was done with a pallet knife so has loads of texture to it too. It was originally intended to go on the wall in the workshop, but I would hate anything to damage it and I don't know how the paint/canvass would cope with the hot/cold/moisture. So the plan is to get a full sized print of it when the companies bother to reply to me! What a legend eh! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren Frimodt Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 wow! Thats a gift from the heart right there must've taken ages to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Well I was lucky enough to see most of it being done... So it was so cool seeing all the stages appear and how they were done! I wasn't allowed to see any of the last bits being painted so there was still some surprise. Holli recons about 60 hours went into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve200TDi Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I also got some art from my girlfriend at Christmas. It's in the MUD WUN Racing colours too! This will be going up in the house too. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Essential you get a copy in the workshop Ross, just to remind you what a complete Defender looks like ? Aside from the pee taking, that looks a superb piece of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
