Willys Jeep "Winnie" (DONE)

Recommended Posts

Hi there!

 

While painting the M4A3E8, I found this picture of a Willys Jeep:

So I just felt compelled to build that very same Jeep.

Some modifications had to be done, such as the displaced windshields, and the rope around the front bumper.

The "door" will be made out of "Magic Sculpt" and the "door art" will be hand painted.

I will also add an Alpine miniature next to it.

See you soo!

Cheers

PS I hope the paint work on the name "Winiie" will convince you that this is the correct name for this Vargas' Pin up girl that appeared in the April 1944 LIFE magazine issue.

Hi guys!

Here's the follow up on this Jeep.

 

I'm no art painter, so the pin up girl is what it is...

Sorry for the quality of the pics. I'll do better next time.

Hi y'all!

That's not quite the end (a couple of touch ups to do) as I will add an Alpine figure to this little Jeep before I call it done.

Hope you like it!
