This year while set up at our annual Fall Festival https://www.atwoodfallfest.org there was a vendor a few spots down from me that made wood replica jeeps, trackhoe etc. I made the mistake of walking down to look at his things. To my surprise he had a M38A1 replica with a pull behind trailer on his table.
I spent 1 1/2 years in the seat of one and close to 60K miles while stationed in Germany in 1961/62 and till I left in 1963. It didn't take too long for it to be on my table in my travel trailer at our site.
Now I totally understand about painting a wood project BUT I didn't build this jeep and I so want it to look like the one I spent so much time in while in the Army.
Olive drab, a few stars and bumper markings like Hq.11 - 3rd armoured Div. etc.
So, if there is anybody here that likes a challenge, I can mail both pieces to you - just need to talk $$$$ -ahh maybe I should make that 3 dollar signs instead of 4.
seriously, I don't have the talent for this project and I know there are more than several here that are blessed with the talent needed to paint the jeep and trailer.
PM me if you're inclined to take it on
Thanks
Dick
btw - all of the lumber is oak and I realize there will be a grain pattern showing, but it's a model, one would expect that
