Jeep Wrangler Lifeguard Unit

[Wheels]

I started with the Revell Diecast Tomb Raider Jeep. I scratchbuilt a new rollcage. Instead of putting the rear seat in I added plastruct diamond tread and covered it with BMF. I added a stokes basket, surfboard, flippers & gear bags. I also added a whip antenna, radio and emergency lights on the hood. I stripped the chrome off the wheels and painted them with Tamiya Silver. Decals came from Lindberg Baywatch Toyota P/U kit.

While the metal thing is not my cup of tea this is a really great way to capture the current look at the beach. Nice idea and nice work.

Only the body is metal. I wish Revell would do a plastic version.

I think it's tight...

After all, the cars we replicate ARE metal.....

Metal is a good thing. I should know. I've been a METAL guitarist all my life.

No ill affects as of yet.

Being that the whole kit is under scale (1/28)

The best thing from it is the tires.

The wheels look a lot better painted too.

You did a great job converting it to a Lifeguard jeep.

It looks alot better...

Nice job.
