Ahab Posted May 8, 2010 Posted May 8, 2010 Hey everyone, It's been a while since I've posted any builds on this site. I think the last was the 1/60 scale drone from Macross Plus....it'll resurface one of these days! My current project a 1/10 scale interpretation of Jim's jeep from Mospeada. At this stage, it's simply a MDF mock-up. I'm hoping to finish it up by the end of the weekend and get started on the actual piece next week. I'll eventually offer this as a kit. I hope you enjoy. More soon. Quote
dizman Posted May 8, 2010 Posted May 8, 2010 Pretty neat, too bad we don't have a 1/10 Jim to go with it. Quote
Beltane70 Posted May 8, 2010 Posted May 8, 2010 Very nice! I can't wait to see the finished product! Quote
spedfish Posted May 8, 2010 Posted May 8, 2010 WOW!!! I'm gonna keep my eye on this for sure. Looks great!! Quote
derex3592 Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 WOW! That's awesome!!!! the pic with the bikes in the back is just killer! Jim/Lunk gets NO love from any toy company ever! Great Job! Quote
meninge Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 OOHHH MY GOD!! very good work!!! Congratulations and please keep going til the end!!!!! More pics more pics!!!! Quote
Jasonc Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 Frakkin' awesome!!! You can do an awesome display with that thing. I really gotta put together my 1/10 scale Fuke resin kit. Quote
Ahab Posted June 10, 2010 Author Posted June 10, 2010 Thanks for the encouraging words, Guys. I'll be beginning work on the pieces next week. I Since the jeep measures nearly 17.5" in length, weight will be an issue. I'm entertaining casting the chassis/bottom half of the jeep in fiberglass resin. I'm working to make it as light and strong as possible while maintaining rich details. Also, I'll be designing it as R/C friendly as I can for anyone thinking of a do-it-yourself conversion. More soon! p.s. Lookin forward to seeing that Fuke custom! Quote
Ahab Posted January 9, 2011 Author Posted January 9, 2011 Did I say next week? I meant six months! Here's a small update on the jeep. Blocking in the tire/wheel master on the lathe. Quote
troyness Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Looks way too cool Ahab!!! Keep up the great work,I,m excited!! Quote
Ahab Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) Thanks Troyness. Here's another small update. I know wheels are not all that exciting, but ya got to have em! These are the basic shapes for the tires, wheels and hubcaps (before details are added). The tires/wheel halves will be molded, cast and joined to form the full{symetrical} shapes. Tread will then be applied then molded once more. Edited January 11, 2011 by Ahab Quote
Ahab Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 I'm stoked to see all the mospeada activity (from members) of late. So, I'm dusting this project off and getting back on the horse with Jim's Jeep. Updates coming! Ahab- Quote
teckno viking Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Sorry for a necro rise post. However as 1/10 & 1/12 arent that far apart. Curious did this get finished? Or was kits offered from the wooden masters? As I think this could possibly work with the 1/12 Sentinels Riobot. Just curious as be great to add to the 1/12 figures or tackle it slightly smaller and more accurate. I have some 1/10 vehicles and aircraft that work perfectly well with 1/12 scale figures. Hence why I ask. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Cool project, I had completely forgot about it. Quote

captain america Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 That's such a kickass project! I hope it was completed at some point because it was off to such a great start. Quote
teckno viking Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 I did ask Sentinels if they planned to do this "jeep with the 3 remaining characters as a set". The reply was "forwarded on your suggestion". Till we hear i guess scratchbuilt will be the way forward or kit is made by someone. Quote
