Looks Awesome Seth. Those HPI Yoko's really set it off. Hard to believe this is mostly scratch built
Wyoming
Thanks James, I am very impressed with the tires, they are among the most scale looking tire I have found and also kind of stiff like Tamiya tires so they support heavy rigs better than many other tires I have used.

Orangemeca
You're so great and crazy !!!
I like your way of think
Great and amazing work
Butcher-Bird
looks phenominal(as does all your work), but being ex-military and a bit anal like your are I have to say that the black stars just aren't working for me(nor have I ever seen a military vehicle with them). what color is that(OD green)?
mongoose1983
You're one of the most talented TCers ever, Seth. The Jeep looks frankly AMAZING.
Wyoming
Thanks guys, remember this is not supposed to be an official 'military' vehicle, just a personally styled vehicle like many off-roaders, militia and survivalists like to build where I live. The color is ultra flat khaki tan with no green at all but the lighting made it look a little green.
Butcher-Bird
instead of stars and since your using a tan paint-scheme maybe you could do an Isralei Defense Force vehicle or something...
TIMECMDR
Another masterpiece from the Wyoming factory, Top drawer stuff as always!! Amazing Shiznit
3SPD REKR
Really nothing more to add, just superb. I would like to know if there are any posts or web sites that cover these scale nationals. Sure to be of interest to all.
Great unique work, as always
Wyoming
Yeah its mostly on RCcrawler.com but it sounds like some full size crawler magazines will be there like Crawl and some real custom truck makers along with Axial, RC4wd etc.

def4x4
Looks wonderfull in that color, and always better with more details. Looks like this woudt be your most detailed jeep build ever. And it look like your cat has more interesting for the winch than the rest of the jeep lol. This is truly a work of art.
Henk4Focus
Great. It's really looking stunning Seth. Those wheels looks great. Pity that it will look out of scale against your tanks.
Franklin
Wow-this is coming out great! Paint and details are top notch.
skywhelp
Love this one, all ready for the predictions for 2012 every man for himself eh?
Wyoming

Tamiyamandan
WOW...Looks AMAZING !!!!!!
delux

the green beetle
Do you stil want that Hummer turret?
I've got one but it's in Holland...
Wyoming
Thanks guys, I finally bought a turret last night on ebay with an old hummer Body so I am good to go now, but thank you for offer.
Tobbe70
Stunning - one of the nicest builds I have seen so far!
BeetleOne
Please my Lord, where can I find those tires?
Wyoming
They are actually the HPI tires used on the new Mini Trophy desert race Truck and are standard 1.9 tires but HPI doesn't advertise them as such: part# 103765
BeetleOne
Thank you for the info Seth.
