New member, new project... but on a different scale.

Another new member here. I've been using the images here so much for reference I figured I'd go ahead and introduce myself. Just so you know, my project is a little different. Mine is only 1/10 scale. I'm not the first person to build a Tamiya Jeep and make it look like one from Jurassic Park, but I'd like to think I'll take mine further than most people.
My name is Garrett, and I live in Kansas. Have been a Jurassic Park fan since it came out, but i could never justify getting a real Jeep (at least not yet). I saw someone in town with their own real replica and had to do something about it. So since I'm into RC, I found an out of production Tamiya Jeep to convert.
Here is what I'm starting with off of eBay. I plan on re-creating Jeep #12 with as much of the screen accurate parts that I can. This includes the rims, soft top, doors, lightbar, wench and rear amber lights as well as the basic stuff like the paint scheme. I'm going to 3D print most of the parts. The rims are already done.
If anyone could point me to or post some views of the lightbar (looking more down on it) that would be helpful. Most shots I find are from the ground and I can't get a real sense of what it really looks like.
Thanks in advance!!!
