Neat idea. I like it.
Couple of things you may want to consider, add a bit of grease to the figures hands (unless the other figures are the dirty one ) . Add a block or two of wood around the back wheel to help hold the jeep (chalk the wheels)
Looking forward to finished dio.

HI PIwi
Was wondering where you got the tools? Have a dio I am working on that would benefit from the wrench and screwdriver... Thanks

Thanks for all your ideas.
Tools come from Italieri set "field tool sho" ref 419. But a Verlinden Ref is also avialable

One thing to remember is the Jeep is a 4X4 and the way you have it now that goose will be run over if he starts the Jeep. another thing would be to add more details to the wheel hub..bolts for securing the wheel... brake lines ..etc..
Good idea for a dio you got going there .

Rick,
on a Jeep you've a lever to use only the front weels.
I 'll try to scan the picture to show you.

Oups so there's something wrong :
It 's write here ( in french ! BTW, do tou speak french?) inthe book: "La Jeep: un défi au temps" :
" Un levier séparé permet d'engager à volonté le pont avant" that you can translate by:
" you've got a separate lever to engage front whell "
There's something wrong on it and I don't understand what !
I use a old pics taken during WWII to make my dio . So the rear axle also would had been on a wedge???????

Oui mais les roues arrieres reste tousjours embraier..c'est le roues avant qui se rajoutepour plus de traction. Sorry for my terrible written French ...but what I mean is the back wheels are always engaged it is to add the front wheels that you pull the lever..Hey I used mine just on monday because of a big snow fall here ..lol (still with 2 feet of snow here).
