Hello, my name is Andrew, drew for short. I happened upon this forum looking for information and pictures for CJ8 scramblers. I have been building models since i was 6 or 7, its been 40 years now i have built airplanes, boats, cars, scifi, figures, but seem to build a lot of 4x4s. The preferred scale for me is 1/24, and now and again 1/25 if its a nice example, if not i scratch build from gray ABS plastic, brass, aluminum, and steel using a lot of super glue. My most favorite thing to do is to build working suspension and often steering from brass aluminum and plastic, i have done leaf spring, coil spring, torsion bar, coil over, what ever it takes to make the suspension work. I have been on Jeeps recently, hence the CJ8 and am working on a couple of CJ10s. Unfortunately most of my projects tend to be "in progress", I have only 1 that i would consider Finished, a 1/24 scale scratch built HUMMV 998 TOW platform that was finished 20 years ago, everything else is in varying states of completion. This forum caught my eye since it focuses on offroad models. Attachments:

Glad to have you aboard . I'd like to see some of the methods you use for scratch building . This board is slow but there's lots of good stuff to discover .
