This model on display at the 2013 Fulda Meet depicts a "ruggedized" Land Rover Defender for transporting a television news crew in dangerous locales. Gerald Blümer said he was inspired by the tragedy in Syria and wanted to build a protected vehicle. But what? Of course, a Land Rover, but after all the bad TV news he decided he wanted no police or army car. So he asked himself, "What are the working conditions for those TV crews?"

This model is based on the Land Rover Defender 110 from Busch. It is just paneled up, has a new treadplate roof, and some minor changes. Gerald said it wasn't the biggest model-bashing - some others were more difficult.
