1/87 Rick Steffers Memorial Jeep

[Texman]

I finished this one this weekend. The kit originally comes at the scale of 1/100,
so I upscaled it to my preferred vehicle scale of 1/87. Added a couple of modifications.
The wheels were cut out of the tire sidewall, a second copy was then domed and glued
to the inside of the sidewall, giving some much needed depth to the wheel.

As provided, the kit contains a spare wheel assembly for the back of the Jeep. Someone
might notice I made a custom made spare tire cover. Seemed appropriate.

So, now a few pics.

Thanks for looking!

Fantastic! I'm just now preparing to put up photos of my 1/50 version, although after seeing yours, I'm a bit embarrassed. Your model is so much nicer looking in 1/87. I don't know how you build 'em so small, Ray.

I missed the link to get the Jeep. Is it still available?

[Texman]

The link is minimodel.sk
Then select catalog.
Scroll down, select "sort by" recent.
It's the 4th or 5th one down.

Nice, Ray! I really like what you did with the wheels. Looks super realistic. Of course, the spare wheel cover is super appropriate!



I have some plans for mine as well...


Thanks for letting us in on this one.
