heepey Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 This project was started by another builder and passed of to me. I had fun taking his beginning and finishing it. Based on an MPC WWII Jeep it is a representation of the popular Philippine people mover. What I started with.
Danno Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Cool! Good job to both of you! But ... it needs dingleberries!
Sixties Sam Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Whoa! Now that's something different! Very cool vehicle! Great job on finishing it! Where did you find those tiny horses? Sam
jeffs396 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Great work Dan! Very different Me likey Jeeps
Tom Geiger Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Very nice finish and a great model! I believe you got that from Terry Jessee.
Mopar - D Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Nice build on your Jeepney. I spent 2 years in the Philippines and these Jeepney's were all over the place. Most of them were all chrome plated or SS with very little paint plus they would have riders hanging off the back on the sides with about 20 people altogether.
Chillyb1 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 That is a very cool model of an unusual subject. I first heard of these things maybe 25 years ago after some friends visited the Philippines and told me about them.
Austin T Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Very nice model. Although I think the real things are ugly I kinda like this one.Great job with all the scratchbuilding. Are the horses HO scale?
heepey Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the kind comments This was only possible because of what I got to start with. The Horses came from an Esci kit of a Toyota Bj-44. Next time I get to town I will be looking at the doll house shop for some miniature baskets and bales to go on the roof and maybe a pig and some chickens Edited February 5, 2013 by heepey
MsDano85gt Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 There are some nice chickens in/ And a crate in the tijuana taxi kit! Just a thought!
Edward Gore Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Awesome project. I've rode in several of these in the Philippines and your build looks great. I remember they all had some kind of booming sound system and interior lighting effects. A small box is attached to the dash for the fare $
David G. Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 That's just too cool! Great work. David G.
