Modified Jeep

Before you start on the wagon where's the working Vernier Gauge Scottie?

Gone for calibration I expect.

Steve, now there is a challenge lol.

[Mr Bowcat]

Verniers are far too imprecise, where's the micrometer?

[scottie3158]

As far as I can make out from my reference pic the roof frame was up or at least not in the stowed position. That meant I had to make it. I watched a video on how the frame was erected and it explained everything. So armed with wire, brass sheet and solder I managed to cobble the frame together. The two parts of the frame hinge so I can position later. And the whole thing is removable for painting.

The Pioneer tools. have also been added




The windscreen and dashboard have been assembled as a small sub assembly and also been detailed.


Finally the passenger seat was narrowed a bit and detailed. I had to narrow it as I have made the generator base a bit to wide.


cheers
Scottie

I've watched you burnish your sratchery skills over the years, but the tilt frame is beyond the pale, Simon would smile.

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Very nice work Paul. Cant believe you managed to build a hinge for that frame.

[scottie3158]

It wasn't to bad, it will be glue into place when all is assembled.

Lovely Scottie!

[scottie3158]

More wizardry mate.Soldering is something i have never tackled.Ive seen some use it on youtube builds on trackguards on a king tiger etc.Makes me laugh as the U.S guys pronounce it as Sodering!!!.Good lord we dont need that.Hope you are keeping cool.

[scottie3158]

Richard, it is a lot easier than you think. I use a gas torch and solder paste. Give it a go practice on some scrap first. Just make sure everything is clean as solder doesn't like dirt. Got ot love our cousins across the pond.

[minitnkr]

Your missing something, just put mouse over icon, all will be revealed.

Didn't work...

[scottie3158]

Same here. I guess it works ok for you Paul. As your right that is what you would normally do, put the cursor over the icon.

[scottie3158]

I have added the base coat, now for my favourite bit weathering and detailing.

[minitnkr]

U might chk w/mod to make sure your permissions have not changed.

[scottie3158]

Paul, thanks mate I will check.

[scottie3158]

The Jeep is pretty much finished now. I wanted it to look very lived in given it was a working vehicle in Burma. I still need to investigate vehicle markings I have the croc under the Palm showing an Australian 1Armd. Div. I have some tac signs and numbers from the same decal sheet but they are not as you would imagine for this vehicle, but I will probably use them as the chances or meeting someone who is an expert on the Australian army is remote lol.









Next up the equipment for the back,


cheers
Scottie

[HAWKERHUNTER]

I have no words again Paul. Brilliant work.

[scottie3158]

Thank you Steve very kind of you.
