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.
