JEEPERS! This road is bumpy,” you can almost hear the toy soldiers say as, heads bobbing, one swings over the steering wheel while the other falls backward, clutching the side. Their Jeep, bucking and rolling, can take it—and so can these bucking buck privates.
The amusing toy is constructed entirely from scrap wood, a few nails and screws, a few inches of a spring-type curtain rod, and glue. The bouncing action is caused by having the rear wheels off center, while the soldiers are made to bob by eccentrics on the front axle. If wood screws are used instead of nails for pivots and setscrews, the toy can be taken apart for repairs.
Paint the jeep olive green, the tires dark gray or black, and the uniforms tan, with brown outlining collars, ties, and pockets. Finally, use a small, pointed brush to paint in the soldiers’ features.
