Thanks guys
Nice little A frame tow bracket to add to the rear which is made from PE parts....
Okay, so hands up anyone who actually believed me when I said this would be OOTB
The hood frame work is nicely done by Bronco, but hiding the joins between parts will be a pain, so I decided to remake it from brass tube. The kit parts are used as a template....
The brackets between the two parts are made from scrap PE and soldered together before utilising the original styrene brackets mounting the assembly to the body....

Must be your monitor settings Matt?
Yes, done the B/W as I felt like doing something different with the blog. I'll revert to colour for paint though
Made a start on the rifle stowage brackets and 6pdr ammo cases amongst other small parts...

Beautiful o.o.b. Build. , Gary!
Any thought as to articulation of the tarp brackets? I've always wanted to build a jeep with the roof on. I know Bronco or Dragon have the cast parts for the soft top, but something like what you've done here always looks better.
Glad you've finally discovered the nobility and pure fighting spirit which is THE JEEP.
