Painted samples of our 3D sculpts for the British version Willys MB jeep. 
Minor changes had been made to the hand, beret, facial expression...
hence final product might be different.






Enjoy!
;)

Nice, though the LRDG passenger's mouth looks a bit odd, possibly a bit wide and having too many teeth.

We will replace that with another facial expression as stated... no worry!

The details are well defined and the proportions look good.  As I mentioned before, the driver should have his left hand on the wheel and his right on the gear stick.  The headdress seems to be a bit tall.   It would be good if at least one of them had some goggles too.

These are NOT the final figures.  In fact, the issues you'd mentioned had been amended.
These two painted figures are for show display as we do not have the time to print the
updated version.

Any chance of a better view of the rear sitting passenger?

I realize these are early  cad figures , but I really hope that Rubicon will release these in a plastic crew set when in production . Most of us have some  other companies plastic    :-[ and older resin vehicles   ::)  in need of crews  , and these GIs and their  German counter parts, fit the bill . I've found a great looking crew and decent stowage covers a multitude of resin sins . That or a large cammo net  :)

These are the canvas options for the Jeep - windshield cover & canvas top!
Should fit on both the standard US and Commonwealth version!














Enjoy!
