That's all pretty interesting, Rob.

When I typed that I like Jeeps (and I do), it dawned on me I've never been in one. :) So you comments about getting burnt out on real jeeps hit me funny.

Your comment on finding building car stuff relaxing is interesting.

Anyway, you have fun and I'll be watching........................

 

A lot of the new macho ones on the road look really cool though. But I know what I know and would never buy one.

I find building car kits relaxing and you have near limitless options on paint colors!

Greg

I'll be watching too.

I'm getting the (model) car bug too, and I've always liked Jeeps a lot.

 

I still like the looks of them. I just moved to building military Jeeps in 1/35 scale. I own most of the 1/35 scale military jeeps available and many of the 1/24 scale ones too.

I've built the Monogram Jeep twice; once as the off road yellow one and another around the same time but from the TV show Mork & Mindy. Basically the same kit, just molded in blue without the off road gear.

P.S. I will admit when I was looking at new cars for the wife, that I took a gander of a really nice 4-door hardtop jeep that was in the lot.

I got the "Daisy" to build for a good friend who has a "7", and then found it was a "5".  Seeing the pic of the "7" you put up, went looking and found the blue 2 in 1 kit on the bay and grabbed it.  Wasn't too bad on $$, and still a few floating around there for what I think are reasonable pricing, considering

Have had various models (1:1)of Jeeps since I got out of the service, as well as before.  Currently have an SJ (2 door full size Cherokee with the factory flares) and an XJ (4 door downsize Cherokee) as my DD's.

I'll be watching too.

Totally missin' this! Looking forward to your build Rob!!!

This is the original kit I had as a kid. I just wanted something close enough to bring back memories. Even the yellow paint is an OSHA yellow can of leftover paint from work. It was one of my favorite kits, of course not painted except for details. The body was left in yellow plastic.

I highly recommend that. It sure reminds you how much skill you do have at the stuff you are used to building...

I just built two car models, first in a long time. I couldn't get the hood to close over the engine on one.

This Jeep is swell, Rob.

Nice job on the yellow so far.

Might take a look at the Dukes of Hazzard "Daisy Jeep".. CJ-7, no top, but has the 4cyl.  Along with a funky "Golden Eagle" edition hood decal and spoked rims.  Those are still floating around for a few bucks. 

 

I've been forcing myself to start building outside of my confort zone. I've been joining group builds where the type build isn't my normal genre. I've been getting bogged down in my armor kits.
