Laser Scanning the Bantam BRC-60 Frame

The Austin Bantam Society shared a link to this interesting story about the use of a laser scanner by Direct Dimensions, INC, to scan what they describe as the Bantam BRC frame, but is really a BRC-60 frame according to Bill Spear. I’d read that the frame broke after heavy testing, but I don’t see any obvious breaks. I didn’t know it had been saved. It definitely has decayed.

(11/13/2014) No pics provided.

“This a 1942 (I think) Willys MB Jeep. It appears to all military except the headlights which appear to CJ 2 A type. Needs restoring. I bought it as a project and realize I have no time. Engine turns over, but I have not run it. It has a set of wheels from an M 151 and tires that hold air.”

Jeep Wreck by Barry

Blaine discovered a thread at SCALE MOTORCARS about a guy named Barry who builds scale car wreck dioramas. Included in the different dioramas is a pretty neat scale model of a jeep graveyard. Barry built it based on photographs of an actual location. The setting and condition of the jeeps look a lot like the photo I shared earlier this month from Price of Wales, Papau New Guinea.
