Starting Another Model Build

Man that's just weird Ken. Not aware of anyone else having this issue maybe you should describe in detail in the Site Help section so I can try to figure it out, and if not pass it on to our web guru. That's had to be maddening the times it's happened.

I'm not completely sure that it wasn't user error Kevin. The next time I post in the thread, I will be sure to pay attention to what I do and if it happens again, I will be sure to post in the site help section. I do find it odd that it happened repeatedly so it very well may be a glitch. I will be sure to let you know.
 
This thing is so cool, I like it better than the hummer. It's a jeep thing, others wouldn't understand.
What no pictures of the tweezers you used to assemble the hubs? LOL

I did have to use tweezers to assemble the hubs. I can take a photo of them if you like. :lol3:

I spent another 8+ hours in the shop today and worked on the trailer. I was surprised at how quickly it went together considering all the retarded angles and the tricky cuts. Either way, it went together very nicely and I'm happy with how it came out. I'm hoping to get some time to work a little more on the Jeep tomorrow.

The trailer is a nice touch, I didn't see that coming. :good2::good:

Someone I know, made a snarky little remark when they saw this wooden Jeep and said something like......"What's next? A soft top made of wood?!?!?!"
Challenge accepted Mr Snarky McSnarkyson. Spent 7 hours in the shop today to make the soft top. I have to say it was quite the challenge.

Whenever I work on a build, I know when I'm done. It is usually the point in time when I look at the project and just don't feel like adding anything extra to it. When it comes to that point, the build is finished because if I'm not 100% into it, I'm just going to wreck it. I worked on the jerry can again today. Made another 5 of them to get the one that I was happy with. Glued it in place and called it done. Thanks for tuning in for this one guys. I had fun with this build.

I really should have straightened the roof before I took the final photos though. Oh well, when the finish goes on, I'll be taking another set anyway.

Terrific build Ken. What kind of finish is going on. Don't say army green model paint with white emblems.

Nope, I wouldn't say that. I don't like painting wood and avoid it at all costs. This one will just get a clear coat, to bring out the grains and darken the walnut. I can't spray it yet until the weather gets warmer and I no longer need the wood stove to heat my shop. I'm not a fan of spraying explosives with a fire in the stove. :banghead:

No worries mate got you covered. Send it to me and I will spray it for you in our now warm Texas climes . . . . :sneaky:
 
VERY nice, Ken! Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Looking forward to watching the next one - whenever that might be.
 
What a ride! I have enjoyed it, amazing as usual. Great thread Kenn. I gave it 5 very well deserved stars!
