Sir, I find your work fascinating. May I make a few suggestions? - shape of bonnet correct? - rubber bumpers on top of bonnet need to be thinner? - left and right seats usually of different widths in Jeeps? - petrol filler cap? - gun bracket on windshield frame? - wheels and tyres need to be more traditional? Making these suggestions as i admire your work. Hope you don't mind. Looking forward to the day you start using balsa... Regards.

I'll try to make the changes suggested by you. I'm from thane. I'll try to find balsa near me. Swapnil N. Title: Re: Jeep CJ4A scale build Post by: worknfun on January 25, 2017, 10:25:43 AM Hi swapnilnimbalkar,

Just wonderful! Shows that balsa is not really essential to get clear edges and smooth corners. Just that balsa is such a pleasure to work with... Your workmanship is already great. I think your painting finishing will be equally good. Only the snow may be hard to arrange ;D And you have to tell us whether the metal parts are readymade or you made them too.

Regards Actually there are no metal parts. Here is the rear side, made with electric wire. Title: Re: Jeep CJ4A scale build Post by: swapnilnimbalkar on January 27, 2017, 02:03:47 PM Picture
