Check out the new Toylander Owners Club website HERE. It has a forum, more photos of customers cars and you can upload photos of your own project.
New Models
A new tractor is due this year and we are working on another vehicle that will open up lots of possibilities if it is easy to build; watch this space. If you think you can guess send in your answer and if you are right and your entry is picked we will send you the first set of patterns. Be warned though it is a slow process so you should be able to get a few guesses in.
Building the car
A build article that appeared in the Land Rover Monthly magazine.
Free Colouring:
Colour in a model from here and send it to us by email or better still draw your favourite Toylander and tell us what number plate you would have or what name you would give your vehicle.
What about these for different colour schemes?
Another customer idea: Door handles and fuel cap
The door handles and fuel cap designed and drawn by Thierry from Luxembourg are available as a free download on a PDF.
Here are some different styles or additions developed by customers. The two Land Rover Defender styles are based on our Toylander 2 patterns and the Toylander 1 pre Pink Panther model was built by Classic Military magazine.

Insurance:
Check your household policy once you start to build as some do not cover toys of this finished value. If displaying at shows it is best to get some public liability insurance.
