1/64 Jeep TJ/CJ5

Something a little different!

This little project was a gift for my father. When he was in the service in the 70s, he had a 4-cylinder Jeep which he and a friend completely rebuilt in their garage. A few years ago, he managed to find the same year and body of jeep-- a 1975 CJ5-- and it's become his pride and joy. I'm a Jeeper, too, and I love my 2016 JKU, so I know how attached we get to these vehicles. I decided to make him a miniature model of his jeep.

The model isnt perfect-- using Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars means sometimes you're going to get cartoony designs and weird proportions, a I went with a TJ body style because it looked more like the CJs than the CJ style models did. 😄

At some point I'd like to do a true 1/64 scale model of both our Jeeps, but for now I think this will do! Jeep wave! ✌
