Starting to scratch some stretchers . Pe bits , copy paper and some brass rod .

That is Fahrenheid, I guess. 30 Celsius is not really freezing

What did the other eye?

Nice work! Lookin great.
What happened though? Stripers not running?
J

Oh the stripers are still there , but 30 degrees on the thermometer outside my kitchen window is 10 degrees standing on the beach with a east - north east wind . Not comfortable .

What, you don't like icicles hanging from yous nose? That is extra weathering!

I always look forward to your scratch-work. Nice looking stretchers!🤩

Cheers!🍺

Hey, ya Nor Easterly beach bum,......this litter set up is looking really good, I like all the mods. Pretty impressive work Bro.

Ya, I just retired too Brotha, working harder now than when I was working 5 10's a week. But, the new boss is a lot better lookin than the old boss, that's for sure, HA!

Ruck Over Bby!

You also get to sleep with your boss

Cool stretchers & fine brass-work, looks perfect. How did you make the paper not look like paper?

Thanks guys , appreciate it !!
Little more work , got the canvass going . Nothings glued down and stowage could change need more in the back of the tub etc.

Great progress. Keep it coming...

Really interesting details you added! I like seeing stuff one normally does not see,like the sundry medical gear.

Thanks Erwin , thanks Jerry , still lots to do !! Darn thing is so small to work on I feel like I'm repairing watches . I'm going to have to rig up two old pickle jars and look through the bottoms then strap them to my melon to see what I'm doing .

Please do post a picture when you do so?

You could also use this one (I have been using it to great satisfaction, since my Mk1's are deteriorating, and normal glasses are not strong enough): https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/32921492145.html?gps-id=detail404&scm=1007.16891.96945.0&scm_id=1007.16891.96945.0&scm-url=1007.16891.96945.0&pvid=350ae217-d683-45d9-b18e-046d615a6c35

Basically done , needs road dirt and dust , Oh and the trailer .

Turned out great...
Only one very minor detail: the straps for the hood (rear) needs their central part also painted brown. Now you left them aluminium?

Wow fantastic work I really like how busy & used those jeeps look, as well as the tangled undergrowth – maybe the sesame bush front-port-side of the tank is a tad too emeraldy? Just a dusting of khaki-ish pastel powder might probably turn it down enough. How’s the figure search going? Those Aussies you showed on p1 sure would be perfect…one word: crowdfunding

I agree with the others,this is turning out great. The jeeps really look the biz.

Thanks guys , Erwin , straps touched up .
Tim , floral hue adjustments to be addressed .
Jerry , thanks man !!

The two frame channels to the trailer tongue should be c-channel . I probably should , of could of done that but I didn't have any Evergreen channel lying about and didn't want to put things on hold to wait a delivery , sooooo , lumbered on .

Nice progress you're making. Love the details.

This is the kind of super detailing I really like.
J

Me too, love the dinged mudguard & the other metal/scratchwork too - hey I’ll trade you some C-channel right now for any 292 Angle you got – 261 (.060”), 262 (.080”) & 263 (.1”) in stock although snail-ish delivery highly likely for the next few weeks…

Off to the body shop fer paint .
I used a piece of copy paper for the tarp , 28 gauge wire to make the gnat sized tarp grommets and I believe 32 gauge twisted together wire for the rope .

Outstanding trailer. You know I love the cheap,low tech solutions ! Nice.
J

Good looking! You keep us spoiled, but keep 'em coming, please!!!!
