Well Handy's pretty pleased with our effort on the Jeep....
Well Handy's pretty pleased with our effort on the Jeep....
I've used Spotted Gum wheels, Blackheart Sassafras dashboard, American Walnut rear bumper, Jarrah sides/mudguards, Cypress Pine front cowling, Merbau engine block, Gidgee front bumper bar, Tassie Oak seats, plus a few I have no idea what they are except the colour & grain went well where I used them.
The Jeep is almost 12" [305mm] long x 6" [150mm] wide and 5" [125mm] high with 5 coats of clear gloss polyurethane;
it took me about 6 weeks better rain/cold & poor health BUT fun having to adjust & modify the plans as I went with 150% scaling.
It'd have to be something like 15 - 20 hours to make the Jeep.
I've also added different pieces to increase the strength/toughness to make the toy little boy proof.
Thank you ladies & gents for the encouragement & support.
Cheers, Peter.

Looks great Peter. Really like the extra gas tank and the bumper badge you put on.

Steering wheel
Wrong side, correct side?
I say it is on the "right" side!
Great work Crowie (and Handy).

my comment was both tongue-in-cheek and serious (and by no means intended to detract from your workmanship).
The steering wheel might be on the "right" side -- both in terms of handedness and by reference to that place where cricket matches are often cancelled because of rain (and also Japan !) -- but you have modelled the classic WWII jeep -- at least that is what it looks like. I've seen a few classic jeeps driving around Australia, but AFAIR, they were all left-hand drive variants.
for the rev-heads out there, was the classic US made jeep ever available ex-factory with right-hand drive ?regards from Alberta, Canada

Gees, that has come up well Crowie. Nice colours in the different timbers gives it plenty of interest. Just need Handy to hop into the drivers seat and give it a test drive.
