JEEPERS! This road
is bumpy,” you can
almost hear the toy
soldiers say as, heads bob-
bing, one swings over the
steering wheel while the
other falls backward,
clutching the side. Their
Jeep, bucking and rolling, can take it—and
s0 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 hav-
ing the rear wheels off center, while the sol-
diers are made to bob by eccentrics on thefront 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.
