My new figures have arrived in todays post so the final layout should be something like this...

...except obviously with heads!!

This should hopefully explain the anxious expression?

That germans body needs some work!!!

Thanks

Hi all,
I think I should probably rename this thread or start a new one as I seem to have moved on from the jeep... but I thought I’d just update progress on the surrendering young man!

Not much more to do on this figure although I did knock him over and he fell into my paint pallet (pringles lid!) and there’s a bit of a clean up going on as a result:..you can see the splodge of white on his shoulder...these things are sent to try us!,.

Thanks
Jason

Superb painting of the camo Jason - spot-on colouring. The natural figure painter in you takes over!

Hi all
Sorry I’ve not had the chance to update on this but been mad busy!..Admittedly this isn’t strictly a modelling update but I felt it was worth posting anyway...
My wife is a massive Elvis fan and is approaching a “landmark” birthday ( I couldn’t possibly say which!) and so as a birthday treat I have taken her to Memphis and Graceland in particular...even as someone who isn’t a massive fan I have to say that I was delighted to discover Elvis’ Wiilys Jeep in his car collection...I may have to have a crack at doing a version of this once I get home!!!!
Thanks
Jason

Oh dear, how to ruin a perfectly good Jeep :sad-face:

That is truly hideous

Apparently Willys made it that way so you can’t blame Elvis for this one...I think this particular model was called “the Surrey”!

They were very popular in Hawaii in the late 50's, early 60's. If memory serves, also available in a bright turquoise and a real laser beam of a yellow. There may have been other bright colors available but I can't recall them now. Might have to rewatch the movie Elvis made in Hawaii...ah the memories. Rick H.

Hi all, quite a productive day by my standards...one model completed and a bit of work done on this one (with the emphasis on “a bit”)...
Just managed to complete the jeep drivers head who is supposed to be returning the surrendering Germans nervous look with a hard stare...all this modelling in one day ... I don’t know how Peter does it.... I need a lie down!!!

I suspect the goggles might prove problematic.??
Thanks

Here’s the driver in position...there’s still more work to do on the jeep..especially the tires but I want to get the base something like before doing the weathering
Thanks

Hi Jason
Figures are excellent. That driver looks so natural.

Hi...sorry if this confuses anyone but I took up Ian’s offer to rename the thread as we seemed to have move away from just the
Jeep!
Many thanks
Jason

Jason,
That is a great looking figure I would be very happy to achieve that.
