Laredo Conversion

 
Scale : 1/24
Manufacturer: Tamiya
Category: Factory Stock

I like the chrome grille of the Laredo compared to the Limited.   The conversion work only required the scratchbuilding of the wheels and hand drawing of the logos, so I proceeded for the work.

A "master" of the wheel was scratchbuilt from a sheet of plastic and epoxy putty, then it was duplicated with resin.  The front and rear Jeep logos were foil cast, and the chrome grille was represented with a metal foil.

The engine was detailed with various pipes and wires as shown.   The air conditioning pipes and brake pipes are visible in the picture.

The body was prepared with dark gray primer in order to darken the body color of red.  Then, Testors clear over coat was applied, and the body was polished with Tamiya Polishing compound and Tamiya Modeling Wax.
