Default Fake Jeep for Cwalring

Been working on a solid axle FJ Cruiser for a little while. It will be my Class 1 this year. Here's what I have so far.
Nikko body
Gelande 2
K44's
1.7 Baja Claws

That's Albert's Pappy Smiggin. He's the owner of the Hole.



By the time the dash was done it was nearly solid styrene and too heavy for comping. What was I to do?



I stuck it on the vacuum former and lost some weight... and detail but I'm a comper now and I don't care about nice things.


I was on a roll so I made a clear windshield too.


Done. Let's comp.

Nice styrene bits. In the last pic it looks like the rear can be stretched a hair so the wheel is centered in the wheel well. Could just be the angle though.

It's a mix of the angle and the rear links being too short. I haven't changed the suspension from the stock Gelande 2 setup yet.




My 5 day vacation from work starts today. Between yard work and working on the big FJ I'm going to try to work on this as much as I can. Dang, sounds like I'm not on vacation at all.

Rough start on the door jambs.




I made a resin copy of the cowl vents because I didn't want to cut up the stock Nikko glass anymore than I had to.


I think it needs a snorkel. I'll make that today.
