knever3 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 My fiance and I are looking for a Comanche cake topper scale model. I know it sounds strange but we want to design a cake for it. She wants to use this with it. If we can locate a Jeep Comanche model we can do something fun with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 prepare for some disappointment. :( how big/small are we talking here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Closest thing ive ever found that was acctually an MJ was bodies for RC trucks. theres plenty of J Truck replicas out there and I'm sure there's XJs as well, but in all my efforts of searching ive never even seen a picture of a scale model Comanche :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I saw one on here quite a while back, but it was an XJ model that was modified to look like an MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Brent has told me they did in fact make an MJ model, but he has yet to find one. I haven't found one either, but believe me, it's not from a lack of trying. Rob L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepdoggydogB Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 There was wooden little wooden truck that resembled a Jeep pickup . http://www.buysellcommunity.com/sale/GTEYSQBT/ You might be able to do a little cosmetic work to it, or ask the seller to make one for you.

TheJeepNut Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Get ahold of this guy. He can carve one up for you out of wood. This is the most amazing video and modeling I've ever seen. The model is superb but the video production is outstanding! (wish it was an MJ)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjrev10 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 those models even appear to be leaning to the driver's side just like our pickups do :chillin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiatslug87 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 http://www.comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13813&hilit=matchbox You can also do this with Cherokees that are ~1:32 scale (5 1/2 inches long) instead of 1:64 that are plastic and made by TootsieToys.

That would make for one huge cake, hopefully there is something more out there. I'll keep looking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86customanche Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Bringing this back. I've got the same thing going with my fiancé. She says just a jeep to put on the cake but obviously I want it to be an mj. I haven't had any luck looking other than RCA bodies and they are too big anyways.

86customanche Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I like that but unfortunately it would be too big. I've been told it needs to fit on a piece of paper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86customanche Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I wonder if they even made them when the trucks were being made. I was only 3 when production stopped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I doubt it. If they ever existed, one of us would have at least found a picture of one by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imstuck Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 That RC video was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COMJNUT Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 That RC video was amazing. the one thing that I saw that dropped my jaw on the video was that the hand on the steering wheel and the steering wheel moved with the steering of the model. and yes the closest thing that I've seen for a model size is the proline lexan body for r/c cars.
