Thanks Tobbe I am glad you like the models. Regarding the orange and dark grey version it was just an experiment from the beginning, but I found that orange and dark greu contrast to each other in an exciting way. My first dark grey seat-area was (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) impressed how you made it scale well with minifigs. Turns out that car bod part is the easiest to get two minifigs side by side. You did a great job with the color variants also...so much I'll be making one of these soon with some kind of (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Thanks Meno! I will try to make and publish a dat-file ASAP. The construction of the model is not very complicated so I think you can manage to make one yourself.

(...) I think that the hood/bonnet on the "girls" version is better than the flat hood used on the others. The only complaint I have is that the wheels are a bit big. I would have used a different kind of wheel. And I would add 1x1 clear round (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.military)

I wonder, Bill, if you are thinking of the civilian CJ series. This MOC is of the military Jeep, where I do believe the flat hood is prototypical. This also explains the low door and high back, which is opposite to the arrangement on current (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.military)

Thank you for your effort, Mattias. Interesting that I have the same wheelbase but that one extra plate of height, and one studs' worth less length at the back, should make a difference. (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.military)
