[^][^] Just left nice needlework comment in your showroom.

I've been thinking about this for my sand rover, are the screws just tapped into roll bar?

Top work Simen!

Just love it, fancy doing that myself, wish I hadnt parted with my spare shell now, doh!

Thanks for the nice comments guys!

I drilled holes thru the rollbar (jepp, plastic as well as the metal core) to fit the standards screws. I used linnen instead of canvas which is more scale like (thinner) and more flexible, although harder to sew in. Overall happy with the end result, nice to build a Willy that differs from the others I have and the ones ya'll have too []

LOL Jim [] I had to borrow a sewing machine from my girlfriends mom, but I actually plan on getting one myself soon - I actually kinda like sewing [xx(] but hey, I can still benchpress more than 250lb, do well in sports, drink beer and repair my own 1:1 car! []

Simen - very nicely done!

I am really liking these more interesting and creative types of "mods" - like ToyMkr's Sand Rover and such.

Simen - you are truly a Tamiya Expert now! Sewing is a good thing [] MR Tamiya himself would be proud.... and it helps the cause when you can bench 250 lbs!

Best Regards,

Sparky.

Very Very Cool [^]

Like the desert scheme as well, sand coloured camo really suits the willy. The willy cover finishes it off really nice, great result!
