Here is some photos of my crashed willys jeep. This is my first model i have done in about 20 years, so please be nice to me. I found if you cross the road, turn your back and close your eyes it looks quite good. :-)
Hopefully (if i have done this right) the pics should be here, if not they can be viewed in my gallery. Thanks

Looks nice, but I would add some damage to the front right wheel, as it would probably have been pushed backward a fair bit with the damage that is shown.


To post the pic's, just click on them in your gallery, and scroll down to the bar underneath the pic, and click on the 'copy' button to the right. Then just right click and paste in your post, without using the 'image bbcode buttons.

I think the driver turned his back while he was driving.

Overall it looks good, nice paint, great scratch roof, good believable bending of the fenders etc.
I agree on the right wheel, it would be bent at least, and shoved back at worst. The left wheel might be tweaked by bending it outward a smidge too.

If you had an extra wheel/tire you could cut off the tire down to the rim, and use some putty/bakers clay to sculpt a flat tire...... Just a thought....

First off, welcome back to the hobby

Second, a good effort at simulating damage on the Jeep. Can you share how you accomplished the damage? I'm assuming heat and bending the parts, but I would appreciate hearing your technique as it looks very believable. Also, how did you do the tarp?

Thanks, and congrats on your build. By the way, is this going in a dio?

Looks great. I agree with the others about the wheels. Is there an engine messed up in that interior?

Great work! Now, you've got to do a diorama! It would look great resting against a staff car sporting a couple of stars.

nice work. I agree with the others about the wheel and I also concider that it is an excellent effort for the firsr of many more after 20 years away from the hobby

Heat is involved by holding the front end over a candle(not too close otherwise it melts/ catches fire and makes a b*&&$! mess, practise first) untill it becomes soft, i then "drove" it into a corner of a wooden box. Then heated up a flat head screwdriver, held it close then done a couple more bends a breaks. Just seemed the simplest way to achieve the desired effect.
The tarp is even easier. Fusewire frame with tissue paper over the top.
It will be going into a dio as soon as i finish it. I will submit the whole thing once it done.
Note taken abut the wheel, will rectify.
Merry christmas and happy new year to one and all.

hej
velcome back to the plastic world.

nice jeep and a good work.
one small thing, if the holders for the canvas is bent forward and out of the "lock" they will fold to gather.
mine do and it is a 1:1.

hope my english is ok.

welcome back to modelling and very nice simulated damage on Willys..I agree comments about wheels.
congrats for the built

u have done some serious job there. I like damaged vehis, since its something that happened many times but not so many times modelled. Good work

Bend the wheel under and add a figure of an old horse cavalryman about to put his "mount" out its misery. Like the Bill Mauldin cartoon.....
