I too prefer CJ style over MB or GPW style grill.

Shapeways!

This is as far as I got with the project. I was able to use my headlight mold and cast a perfect set, but it took the help of an artist friend that does that sort of work for a living. She had a small autoclave plus a commercial grade clear resin that costs around $250 per pint. I'm not willing to make that sort of commitment for equipment.

Here's a pic with the lenses that I cast on my own.

Damn I'm a dumba** sometimes.... I realized that I've been posting a few updates to the Orange Jerp in the wrong build thread...

Sorry for the confusion, I'm moving back to the orange Jerp build thread, I've been tinkering a bit with it.
