Very nice indeed.  One suggestion would be for the driver to have his left hand on the wheel and his right on the gear lever, as this is the normal position when driving a left hand drive manual.  Otherwise really nice figures.

Are you intending to sell the Willys Jeep as a single model or in pairs?

It is still too early to tell.  There is already THREE variants plus several combinations if we are mixing
the three together.  Not to mention the number of figures involved...

Once we have decided on the layout format, we can then let you know.

It's a very nice Bren gun, and it looks as though you've made it a bit chunky so it's less fragile.  The piece beside it seems to be a K-gun with a moulded-on mounting.  Presumably the idea is that the K-gun is removed and replaced with the Bren?

Looking forward to this kit very much, so can't wait!  :P

I know it's a long way off, but do you think decal wise you'll have stuff like the "caution left hand drive" that was out on the back and canvas?

The driver looks great (no idea about the uniform, that is for others with better knowledge). He would definitely get drafted into my Crooked Dice UNIT.

The passenger to my eyes looks a bit odd. The beret looks slightly bulgy at the top, maybe his driver is scary and his hair is standing on end? ^___^

Is the left arm integral to the figure?

The sculpts are still something of a WIP at the moment.  We are changing the driver's pose
as he should be driving a left-hand steering vehicle.  We are also making minor adjustments
to the passenger left hand/wrist to make it more natural.

These guys look pretty good . I hope you can release these figures with a separate vehicle crew set , as they would  with a little kit bashing , make a crew for the Achilles or M3 Halftrack
