Building my Jimmy to scale
Not really a jimmy though. Can't afford the GMC grill, so it will have to be close enough. The jimmy isn't done yet, but getting closer. I bought this boondocker partial built model a while back. Started re-doing it last winter, but at the time I was using the model to try out different colors for the jimmy. Now I have the color, the chassis is pretty much done, so I sprayed the model with the real jimmy paint and can finish up the model anyway.

I also sanded the side molding off the tub. I did not cut the bottom of the fenders though because I'm not sure what I'm doing for a bumper yet. Like I said, not exact replica, but it'll be similar. I should try to find some aluminum slot type wheels for it. |

Re: Building my Jimmy to scale
I finished it up today. I think it turned out pretty good. One of my better efforts anyway.

For real fine stuff I use a toothpick. I've even chewed on the end to make a little brush to paint stuff like the holes in the rear where the backup lights would be! One time use only, chew it a little, let it dry, paint and discard.
