Mail Delivery Jeep
This little guy is part of a "mini-scene" on the Glen Frazer Free-mo module.
The Jeep is parked on the shoulder of Franklin Canyon Road as
its driver steps out to deliver letters to a bank of mail boxes.
This vehicle went with the Glen Frazer module that I sold to a fellow
Free-mo modeler for incorporation in his private Free-mo layout.

Right: This is generally what I
was trying to recreate - a DJ5

Right: The model is a bit of a "foobie" - a significant variation from the
prototype is the rear quarter panels are solid - no big windows there.

Below: The model is kitbashed from a Roco open-top military Jeep,
and a Trident delivery box truck. The box truck came decorated in
the US Postal Service livery with the big eagle logos on the side
panels. I cut out those side panels, logo and all, and grafted them
onto the Jeep body. I scratch-built the roof from white styrene. The
rear panel and side doors were made from clear styrene, masked
off for the white paint such that windows were created. The mirrors
and yellow fender lights are parts scrounged from my spare parts
box. MV Lenses were used for the headlights. The stripes are
N-scale Amtrak passenger car decals. The rear "Jeep" logo is a
custom-made decal. The license plates are images downloaded
from the internet, re-sized to HO scale using MS Visio, printed on
regular paper, and cut out for gluing onto the bumpers.
