1985 jeep comanche

[michelle]

this i made with one of andrey bezrodny's awesome 3d printable kits and a free to download flat bed model file from either cults3d or thingiverse 
this is a tribute to one of my favorite tv hosts josh gates and his first tv series destination truth josh and his team of investigators and their camera cases and other gear cases would almost always end up with worst car/truck/van they could get there would be rusted sections or holes in the floor boards or missing windshields some did not have gauges and some would generally break down or have some other issue and this happened pretty much every country they went to to do investigations and when they did get a good car/truck/van and then they would need a boat or plane for a part of the investigation the boats engines would seize far from shore or start to sink or capsize or the small plane would start to fall apart in air
i painted the body rust oleum satin protective enamel french beige 
i painted the bed and headlights rust oleum  bright coat metallic aluminum 
i painted the rims tires chassis grille bumpers and camera and equipment cases rust oleum 2x flat black primer 
i brush painted the interior apple barrel matte chestnut acrylic paint 
i brush painted the gas can apple barrel gloss real red acrylic paint  and the gas cap apple barrel gloss yellow acrylic paint  
i brush painted the two water cans apple barrel gloss turquoise acrylic paint and the caps apple barrel gloss white acrylic paint 
i weather the cab and chassis with my own homemade weathering spray that both give rust and dirt look to parts i spray with it
