0lllllll0 Jeep JK 0lllllll0 So this is my first scale rig, so please bear with me as I am still trying to learn everything. I was into RC cars more than 20 years ago, and wow have things changed. I wanted to build a scale Jeep JK to try and match my 1:1. I started out with a stock Axial SCX10 RTR TR Honcho. Nice rig to start with, so I figured it would be a great starting point. Some of the things I have done so far Matched Tekin FXR ESC and 35T motor Custom made aluminum 4 link CC BEC 3Racing winch, with one of heyok's winch controllers FlySky FS-GT3B Digital 3ch 2.4ghz TX & RX Bad ass custom hand made front bumper from Dave-@tw!ll at DHFab, Dave does killer work Bad ass custom hand made rear basket made by Shon-R2j at R2j Custom Crawlers coupled with a RC4WD swing out rear tire carrier. Misc. scale accessories, some purchased, some hand made. New Bright Swamp Dawg body Well, onto some pics of the progress. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5213.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5212.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5211.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...IMG_5210-1.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5182.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5183.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5184.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5185.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5190.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...IMG_5193-1.jpg |
To remove the "mud" I sanded the whole thing with 320 then 500 grit sand paper and then cut all the fenders and cut the bumpers off. I filled the "fender attachment points" with a good quality automotive 2 part glaze(like bondo, but easier to sand) http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5261.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5262.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...IMG_5263-1.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5264.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5265.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5266.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5267.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5268.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5269.jpg |
All masked up and ready for primer http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5270.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5271.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5272.jpg And here is the first of two applications of primer. I primed it once, block sanded the whole thing, then reprimed it all. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...IMG_5273-1.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5274.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5275.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...IMG_5276-1.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5277.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5278.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5279.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...IMG_5280-1.jpg |
Next came the color! I used Global BC automotive base coat, paint code PS2, and Global D893 clear with medium hardener and medium reducer. Ready to go, with the 1:1 in the back ground http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5358.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5359.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5360.jpg After the base coat and the first of two coats of clear http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5361.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5362.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5363.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5364.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5365.jpg All painted http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5394.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5395.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5396.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5397.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5398.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5399.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/IMG_5400.jpg |

Thanks for looking |
That is some shiny paint you got there. I also see you have the real deal in your driveway. Wes |
Looking good Leif! Can't wait to see it all together! |
The paint looks great"thumbsup" I hope we see you at some scale comps this season. |
Nicely done.."thumbsup" |
Nice work so far on the jeep. Now i know what to do when removing the mud off the headlight lenses. By the way your work on cutting the fenders was super clean. no rough edges and everything seems symmetrical. "thumbsup" Damn, Nearly forgot, sweet color combination! |
Awesome job on the bodywork and paint. Love the look of the chopped and filler flares . You just can't go wrong with a silver JK..! Heres one I built a while back.. "thumbsup" http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t...7/HPIM1868.jpg |
This is a great shot. I took a doubletake to make sure it wasn't the real thing. The "open" driver side window, black door handles and hood snaps, winch, headlight, and d-rings really add to the realism. The biggest giveaway to me is the steering/draglink, and lower links, then I realized the pine needles were really big! Great job. Quote:
