Jeep Comanche Die-Casts????

[blackdiamond]

 

looks good, doesnt it?

[Blue XJ]

yeah that looks pretty good. I don't think I have even seen a 2 door MB XJ model before.

[carnuck]

I picked up some toy 4x4s that drive and light up (Stomper?) that look like a cross between an MJ and a J10.

[GirsMJ86]

I have an old Stomper, it is an 80s J-Truck with the square headlights that lightup. It is red and have "decals" on the sides and the "Jeep" tailgate. Also have a bull bar and roll bar.

 

The semi trucks were REALLY cool cause they were 6wd.

and 1/43 scale 4 door cherokee... http://cgi.ebay.com/1-43-Universal-Hobb ... dZViewItem

 

both would make great comanche's

[Burgundi]

anyone ever find this? My husband has a Comanche his brother gave him before he passed and I’d love to get him one of the hotwheeles. Just because the truck is… getting old. 
 

please please let me know if you do. Price isn’t an issue.

@Burgundi Comanches were never made, the pic above is custom made. A member on here (Dzzim) is working on a 3D printed one.

On Amazon there's a shop that I can build rca and they have xj bodies MJ bodies and 2 for xj bodies. It's worth giving a look

13 year thread bump!

Maybe you could reach out to hot wheels or matchbox and see if they can make a one off or small batch?

I am working on a truck model in 1:64 scale and will probably scale it up and make larger ones available with more detail.  At the typical 1:64 diecast scale it's hard to get much detail on an FDM printer. 

 

I may also make an SUV version but haven't decided yet.  

 

Just as a note, Jeep XJs are currently available in diecast.

could you print one of those and then be able to somehow cast them ?

I don't have the equipment to cast and at this scale, sand casting would offer less detail than the plastic model would have.  And true diecasting is just not really possible at home.  I could possibly cast them out of resin but at that point it would make more sense to buy a resin printer to get the high detail on such a small model. 

 

They will still look good on the FDM printer, so far I've been pretty pleased with the test prints.

thats a good point.

The only proper-looking thing I've seen is a body for those realistic looking RC rock crawlers. Otherwise, not much on the smaller scales. Even for plastic model kits, Jeeps are rare. There has been a J-Truck, ZJ, YJ, CJ and TJ model kits, but never any XJ or MJ, or even a kit with a 4.0 liter for that matter. I keep bugging companies such as Round 2 Models for at least an XJ model, but they seem more interested in creating those darn Star Wars and Star Trek kits...

[fiatslug87]

For those that don't know, there was a 1:18 scale wired remote MJ made. So keep looking!

 

 

 

 

[Pete M]

been looking for one of those for 20 years.    kinda hard to keep the ol' passion going after such utter failure. 

[ComancheKid45]

It took me 16 years, but I finally found a die cast! Sure it was custom made but it turned out awesome! 😁

 

 

[fiatslug87]

AWESOME!!!

Ok that’s pretty cool diecast from hot wheels.

There's a fella on Instagram that makes custom "Hot Wheels" 

 

I'll probably have him make another one for me next year. I'm super impressed 

[eaglescout526]

I’d take a couple! Wish hot wheels or

hell even matchbox if they’re still a thing to actually make some of these. I know there’s some XJ ones out there I want to get. 

[Pete M]

you do NOT get to share that and then not give a link!
