Just finished detailing my Hi-Lift jack

[NCNitro]

Heres the Tamiya jack I just finished, it will be going on the tuber. I think it's ok, I will make the next one better. But I drilled out all the little holes which were just dimples on the plastic, and cut the plastic out from between the handle and jack body. Painted it cherry red, same as the fuel cell, the handle is satin black, and the handle end is testors rubber black. The screws were done in testors metal.

Thanks Lloyd, it's actually the Jack that comes with the Tamiya CC-01 YJ. I am making my Tamiya Jeep more of a dd mild offroad Jeep, so I decided this will be mounted to the tuber.

Drilling the dimples out was a terrific idea. That REALLY adds to the realism.

The only the I can think of to add any more realism is to add some metal covered scratecs and a little rust coloring to the jack lift point and the foot. Killer looking accessory!
