WII Willys jeeps

Lou,

First, what a phenomenal tribute/gift to your father. The best projects have that kind of story behind them.

Second, as I look at this … I find myself in utter disbelief that a person could build something like this. The scale, the level of detail, the painstaking hours that you must have spent. To me—at least at this point (total newbie)—it’s nearly impossible to conceive.

What I’m saying—hopefully, obviously—is that you did a fantastic job. I hope your dad is as proud as he is touched!

Wow.

Very cool, I’ve driven something very similar back in Germany in 71. Dangerous bugger, rolls over easy, all it needs is a big star on the hood.

Lou, I can only imagine how much fun your Dad had watching and I’m sure there where a few stories told of fond memories driving one of them. The detail is awesome (doing one blows my mind, but TWO!) Just a great job and a great story. I posted a Steam Engine awhile back that I did for my father (also took a year to do) and the look in my fathers eyes when I gave it to him was priceless.

WOW, nice work!!

-- Ohh mann...pancakes and boobies...I'll bet that's what Heaven is like! ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣

Very nice. Great detail. Most people will never know just how much work these jeeps represent. A great way to honor your Father.

very nice work… exceptional detail… hope they are complete with trailer while he is still around to appreciate…

Like jockmike2… drove one around downtown Germany in ‘70 when we weren’t driving tracked vehicle…

Unit identification numbers go on the bumpers. Just a quick thought but you might try to get your father’s unit identification and put there? I’m sure he is enjoying as is…. and maybe telling a story or two?

truly wonderful…

Very nice, awesome job Lou!

WOW Lou!
You really took the time to do this right. Amazing detail through out. Bet your dad is as amazed as the rest of us.
What a cool story, project…................
Awesome man…...................

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

Lou very nicely done. The wheels I know are a real pain to do, and you pulled it off very well. Also good selection in the cherry wood for your model. Your Dad will be very pleased I’m sure…..

-- Brian, Ontario Canada,

what a great project. well done

-- The CNC machine can either produce the work of art you imagined, or very decorative firewood.
