WWII Willy's Jeep Born into a Jeepney Bus

[ARRMAgeddon]

During ww2 america used these vehicles called willys jeep
Correct me if I'm wrong but i think these jeeps are all over the world
I could be wrong tho
ANd after ww2 they just left these jeeps all.over the country
Among these countries is the philippines
Filipinos turned these willys jeep in to a mini bus called jeepney
Jeepney is what you use to get around the city in the philippines
They comes in all sizes decorations color paints etc.
You can google JEEPNEY

With my porject I'm using a chassis for the d110

THESE JEEPNEY ARE THE MODEL
FOR THIS BUILD

 

[ARRMAgeddon]

The willys jeep have been streched for passengers
lets start the build
Well i already started it but i couldnt post it due to my acount here

Chassis for the build
I Have one more rolling chassi like this that i did not continue
Invested about 1k on that sitting ont he rain rc4wd d110 kit with upgrades
It's so bad the wheel bolts starts to rust

 

[ARRMAgeddon]

Lets begin
Now looking back at this picture
Its already wrong very wrong
If you look at that second picture
I already covered that darn battery compartment
The only time i realised that was when i was almost done
i am using those magnet thing for the body
Bit more scaler withou the clips

By the way I'm using pvc pipe for this build
Just cut heat it up flatten it and cut again
I was thinking pvc is much stronger than styrene
Again i could be wrong
And since this is a crawer chassis well it can go up those trails too
And you dont want leavimg pieces of the body on the trail

The back is a bit pain in the arse
Big hands and small pieces doesn't go well

The front now this time i must have tried 8x making this grill
Its funny i couldnt make straight line
Therss always one that doesn't wanna cooperate
So what did i do use a straigjt edge on a tape
Cut out those things i dont need and paint it
Now just a matter of tracing the lines on that plastic
Made holes for headligjts
And trying them one

 

[ARRMAgeddon]

From that gril to this
Lets leave out some of the pictures

Now since I'm thinking of puting lights on the in side of the roof at a later time
Lights for the passengers
I have to make the roof removable
Big hands
I was thinking of using magnet again
But incase it rolls those braces for the roof will surely bends or comes off
Ill just use screw for the roof and the roof braces
The windshiled again ill use that one used for the yacht

 

[ARRMAgeddon]

What do you guys think
The build and the model
Side by side

Thanx man hopefuly i can follow the paint job on this thing

 

[ARRMAgeddon]

With the roof
A bit tricky bending this pvc
but heat gun glue and patience of sanding
We got it done

Now the jepeneys they carry cargo on top the roof too
Sometimes people ride on top of them
I have experienced it once in my younger days
More like a roller coaster with a metal bar as chairs
