I worked in the corporate offices of State Farm for several years before retirement. Two of the guys that were on my team went off to start their own State Farm agencies. One of them is still an active agent, and the other has since gone back to the corporate offices. These are models I made of their agency vehicles for them. The Jeep is not an exact match to the real car; I was unable to find a model of his Cherokee (which was named "Jake"), so I built the smaller Revell Wrangler Rubicon kit and named it "Jake Jr."

I also tweaked a paper model of a Mini Cooper to add State Fame markings and also made that for my friend. Boy, paper models can be a challenge to make!

Thanks for looking!

really nice job on both build a paper model but I can understand the challenge. Can barely make a paper airplane much less a car.

at first glance the mini could pass for plastic model. Excellent work!

Nicely done! I do wish someone would make a Cherokee kit, it'd be a useful addition to the stash.

a newer Cherokee was built from Tamiya as a four door. Perhaps?
