I’ve always been a fan of the movie Jurassic Park. I always thought it would be great to own a Jeep and replicate one from the movie. This was the next best thing and there is no rust to contend with. (Sorry David)

Dennis behind the wheel makes this 1000% better

At first glance, the first pic looks like a real car in a garage, and then you notice the Sharpie.  It’s disorienting for a split second.

That’s amazing. I’m expecting it to crash into a ditch next to a d ilophosaurus at any moment!

I built a Pajero on that chassis as a kid.  They are great for scale...crap for having a lot of fun with.  Still, it was fun to built and wheel.

Yeah, I kept hearing that before I got it. In the end I have another truck for bashing. This one is more of a model with functionality.

Quite simply, that rules!  Nice work!
