I started a project at the request of some of the fellas over at a Jeep forum I belong to. Here's what I have so far.

Hand drawn. I've been taking measurements from my actual Jeep and scaling them down. Then I just adjust as needed.

OK gang,

Here's an update.

Got the windshield and hood worked out. Then I started laying down some detail. I have a long way to go on this one.

Oh man... Dang, I never thought to trace off any of the parts... I am going to build another so maybe I can create a few files for it at that time.

Here's todays update:

Started roughing in the bars and did a little detail work in the grille.

And the steering column and wheel...

I'm finally checking in on this project and am well and truly impressed with your talent and craftsmanship. This is a beautiful model and it is a pleasure to see it taking shape step-by-step. I look forward to watching the future progress. Many thanks for sharing this one with us.
