iwik Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Hi there! While painting the M4A3E8, I found this picture of a Willys Jeep: (source: http://s25.postimg.cc/rizkcij33/mmu_get_jpeg.jpg) 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 Iwik 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.

iwik Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 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. Ciao Iwik PS Next will come the "dirtification"! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwik Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 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! See you not too soon as I have to finish painting the M4A3E8 crew first. Ciao Iwik 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Sinclair Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Wow that came out great! Love the custom artwork. And don't sell yourself short, I've seen a fair bit of genuine WWII nose art in person. Most of it wasn't nearly as good as I had expected! -matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 That is one superb model. Brilliant all round, but watch out for the corner of the base... it's starting to peel away. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
