Scale Model Jeep CJ-7 Golden Eagle Build

Thanks Randy. I'm actually missing the air cleaner and pulley assembly that I pictured above with the red circles so if you have those I'd be interested. I'd also be interested in the hard top and doors and clear glass for top if you don't plan on using those. Let me know, thanks!

I used the Revell kit to replicate my Jamboree. It is a 78 so I had to shave the rear marker lights off, it has incorrect low back seats, pitiful roll bar and it sports the 304 V8 under the hood. Beggars cant be choosers. I really want the old 16th scale Golden Eagle kit to do the same thing.

Have a couple model kits I haven't opened, I was never patient enough as a kid to do things with nice paint and leave enough drying time, etc. so I'd get frustrated, but I did a number of them between cars, trucks and military stuff. Was hoping to try with the Scrambler kit, too bad it didn't pan out.

I did a decent job on my Wild Willys 2 with some detail and paint.

And this one was RTR aside from the addition of some JPFreek stickers. Love the realism in the Axial crawlers and it was genius for them to license actual part designs to reproduce in scale, this is the SCX10 Casey Currie edition with insanely bright LED lights. Sadly, the transmitter's throttle switch crapped out and I haven't been able to run it in months :banghead:

There is an amazing display of RC cars, trucks, etc at the PA Jeeps show, at least for the past 2 years right in line with the Waggy above.

I miss using my Tamiya Bullhead. I used to work at a restaurant on a main road. One snow storm after it closed at night I was in the parking lot playing with it. When I got home, my dad told me the cops where talking about the crazy kid playing with his truck out in the snow. Still have all mine:Fox; grasshopper; Vanessa's Lunchbox; little Tamtech; Bullhead; Wild Willys 2 (I picked up last year still in the box). Gotta admit the Bullhead has a Toyota body on it, it was before my Jeep days.

These videos of scale builds are cool and there are ton of great ones on Youtube but I'd prefer to keep this thread to "members only" builds just for us. Thanks.

Sorry brotha! I started that divergence. I'll keep it on topic. [emoji4]


 
I built a Barbie jeep into a Jurassic park copy rc truck before too. The jeep started off as a broken Barbie jeep, I rigged up a big deep cycle battery and put pneumatic tires on it. Then painted like the Jurassic park jeep and my nephew used it for a few years. When he outgrew it I added a couple of servos and a receiver. Only problem was it was only rwd.
 
Wow those are cool. Wish those had been around in the late 60's and 70's. The closest I had was a Cox Baja Bug with no remote but it was pretty got. We had plenty of open land so it could go far with an extended tank of fuel

My apologizes for showing non forum members work

I found a Revell Honcho model while cleaning out my closet today, took a pic but it wont upload here for some reason, Not sure if I'll build it or try to get rid of it.

A Honcho? Awesome.

And I really want one of those Axials. But I know I don't have the time.
