[MOD][MOC] of Mr. Tekneex's 8110-C Model Jeep

[JGW3000]

After quite a long time of gathering parts, although I had about 80% of them required, building and rebuilding, and finally getting time to photograph the result, I present my interpretation of Mr. Tekneex's C-Model of the 8110, a Jeep - the original topic is here - http://www.eurobrick...&hl= 8110 jeep

SInce I didn't have an 8110 to start with, I decided to use parts on hand, which then led down the slippery slope of changing colors, adding doors and a roof, adding a spare tire, different lights, etc... I also spent some time looking at similar vehicles on the road (about 11.6% of a passenger vehicles where I live are Jeeps, and about 20 % of those are some variation of this style). Lights, doors, roof-top light bar, spare tire, outside mirrors, and other added/modified features are all inspired from these observations.

Features:

- XL motor for drive

- Servo for steering

- RC for the XL and servo motor

- M motor for front winch, raising/lowering hood

- hand operated two-speed gear shift, mounted between seats

- working doors

- working engine

- working steering wheel

- four wheel drive with center differential and independent suspension

Don't ask for a video, the final model was soooo heavy the poor XL motor could barely budge this thing to move much faster than a snail. Rather than rebuild with two motors for propulsion, I promptly disassembled the model for the next MOC.

Without further ado, some images:

Nice colour scheme. And I love your idea for the license plate.
