For one week of the last two summers a good friend has taken us Jeeping in the Colorado mountains. I wanted to do something special for him and had been looking for a Jeep pattern when I came across grampa’s @grampa depiction of a Jeep. It was exactly what I’d envisioned but didn’t know where to start. I got rid of the Christmas tree on top and did my own lettering. It’s cut from 1/4” BB. The finish is Watco Danish Oil followed by several spray coats of satin lacquer. I used camouflage fabric for the backer. The fabric was sprayed with the lacquer on the back side and allowed to dry. I then sprayed a heavy coat on the front of the fabric and on the back of the BB and mated them together. It dried so quickly that I didn’t get as good of a bond as I’d hoped, but should be ok. Fitting that I finished this on Vietnam Veterans Day. Gene was my Squad leader and I his Medic in Vietnam. I’ll deliver it to him next week on our way back to Illinois from Arizona. Thanks grampa for your design. Tom
