1/6 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon "King"

[Tom22]

Hi


I was in the progress of transforming a 1/6 New Bright Jeep Wrangler into a crawler, when I found this:

BC4x4.COM four wheel drive, 4x4, offroad and fourwheeling site.

Since I liked the shape and color and since I still had a second body which was heavily used and scratched lying around, I decided to give it a go.

I had a lot of cutting, cleaning, filling and sanding to do...





I needed a new rollcage, but because I wasn't able to bend metal tube of 10 mm diameter, I went to the local DIY store and found this...



... which became this:





Unfortunately I didn't think about taking pictures of the building phase back then, so here are the first results (front- and rear bumpers as well as side skits are still to be made):







I know, it's not 100% like the original but that was what I could make out of the NB body without an even greater effort than it had already been...

The color I used was the original Jeep color called "Orange Crush".

And since I had a little paint left and had just finished my 1/6 Quad based on a 1/18 Kulak Crawler which later shall be pulled by the Jeep on a trailer, I quickly made this:





Hope, you like it...
