If I was really ambitious, I'd have removed the rear part of the jeep... if I was that ambitious. 🙂

Album info

A little kit-bashed scratch-build of the "three-wheeled truck" used by the Kusakabe family to move to their new house in the animated movie, "My Neighbour Totoro." Based on the Daihatsu Midget DK, I used parts of a 1/72 Willys Jeep, a Kübelwagen and a Kettenkrad to create the basic chassis and boxed it up using styrene plates.
