dwc43 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I have not built up a model in a long time. So I saw a friends Jeep and decided to do Crofts Jeep Rubicon from the "Cradle of Life". Nice fitting kit and really easy to build. Hope you like the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwc43 Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 I still need to put the two off road lights on the windshield frame. Forgot about those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose1957 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Nice job on the Rubicon. Haven't seen the movie, I only saw the first one. But that's a good looking Jeep you built. I think I read somewhere that the Revell kit was based on the diecast for the movie, so that makes sense that it looks like the one from the movie. Welcome back to the hobby, keep on building.

Jeff Thanks. That makes sense, that it's based off of a diecast. It's curbside, no engine. Has a nice undercarriage though. Forgot to get a pic of that. Actually comes with real coil springs to install, but hard to see with a black suspension and springs. They needed to be bigger in diameter, but I used them cause this was a quick build. I still need to paint the blue lights on the front skid plate and install some after market ones on the windshield frame. But, it's pretty much done.

Jordan White Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Looks good, always nice to see a clean build! The pictures are a tad blurry though, one trick is to take the picture from further away and just crop the picture down to what you want to show. ?

Yeah, the pics look funny especially at the bottom of the frame for some reason. Thanks, I'll try it your way next time and see how it turns out. Always open for suggestions.
