Hi Alpha, thanks for your kind words steering turn out how I wanted to be, I think it looks better to have wheels turned on a diorama On 8/14/2016 at 12:57 AM, FrancisGL said: Amazing that the steering of jeep work, and look as good.

Thanks Rich, yes I have but I did not buy them because I am sitting the jeep on a flat surface by the side of the Typhoon some more progress shots Made the hook work so that it could be pulling the Accumulator Started to make the seats, kit parts are not very good Would these Canadian jeeps be painted S.C.C 15 ???

Hi Andrew, thanks for looking in and you are right about big lad when I scale him to 1:24 scale he comes out at 6'-3" and the small guy is 5'-6" Did some more to the front seats they are not correct but they will do, will make the back seat and then the seat padding More guys come to join in Regards Richard 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceithearn Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) Beautiful work Richard. Several thoughts: The chassis stands are great. You could start a full restoration shop there; I can pretty well hear the four banger idling away. Work space uncluttered, amazing. Setting the bar very high for coming SAS Jeep build. Really looking forward to seeing this develop, great art. Robert Edited September 3, 2016 by Ceithearn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started the back seat, made it with the hinges Then I went back and added the hinges to the front passenger's seat Regards Richard 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seats did come out not to bad, they are not made as the real ones but close, regarding the figures This one is from Barracuda Studios This one comes from Grey Matters figures, he is the smallest These three came with the 1:24 scale Trumpeter Spitfire mk Vb I think these two are twins Last one came from KFS Kit Form Services, this is a modern guy will change him to look like 1944 guy Regards Richard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripaman Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 Small update to the Willys Jeep, changed the petrol tank to a British one due to the Jeep is going to be a Canadian one working with the Canadian 440 squadron at the landing air strip B9/Lantheuil, Normandy Sept 1944. They might have had the USA version but who knows. Then I want to have the canvas roof cover on so I have made the supports out of 1mm brass tube, still got to make the bracket to hold it. Untill next time Regards Richard 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceithearn Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Coming along very nicely! Fire extinguisher is new too I believe. Did not realize Cdn and US jerry cans were different.
