Colin,

Well done! You must be earning brownie points for life for this one

Attached goes a minature DAF jeep I saw driving around last summer at a HMV show.

Outstanding work Colin

You could probably go into production prior to the holidays next year and make a killing with the jeep enthusiasts. Course the Stitch Nazis won't buy one cause you have the wrong makings on the head bolts

Thanks dave, I guess if I go into production I better do a choice of head bolts. All finished and put away till the day.

Hey Colin

If you did an electric version I would order one for myself, nice wheels to get around at airshows, etc. lol It looks amazing and your son should love it.

Colin

You have done yourself proud and for one little boy the best Christmas present ever. Great workmanship,I suggest you "Patent" it before some enterprising person in a foreign country is thinking of Xmas next year.

Fantastic work.

Little Jo

Default This one is electric!

Hi Guy's,

A Friend of mine copied my GPW for his son and he installed an electric motor in it. Unfortunately young kids grow fast and he does no longer really fit in the Jeep. The Jeeps featured in a television program on Dutch telly.

Have a look at the pics

Cheers,
