That looks great! What ya use for the "pipe" ? And to add to that how'd you go about "bending" it to the curvature of the fenders? NICE work no less!!!!

here it is with a fresh coat of paint and the fender guards i made for the white one fitted with the headlight and turn signal cutouts, still working on headlights im happy with. The fender pipes/guards are made from plastic coated wire i got from the hobby store, the two smallest sizes have wire, the next sizes up are hollow. To form the curves i often use the handle body of the exacto for tight curves or some other round objects like drill bits or paint brush handles etc, and larger round objects for the larger curves like say a glue bottle, then just carefully work the curve till it matches.

Time to bruteify the white cab. To start the first thing is to move the fender up 0.1-0.125in, the first version of the brute has the front fender moved up from the primary cowl line to the secondary hood line seen on the 1/25 jeep TJ on the left marked with black ink (I may use it for some vacuum forming down the road.)

NICE work Drew!!!! That sitting figure you have posed on the bed rail of the Jeep, where (or who) did you get that from or buy from? I'm looking for figures to use on a few of my own builds! So, I'm on a hunt to be directed to where I can find some!

The figure sitting on the bed rail is Amy Mcdonnell, a wild egg girl, released a month or so ago with a pink willys jeep from hasegawa, that i pre-ordered from plaza japan.

Hasegawa, Aoshima, Fujimi, Tamiya, Gunze Sangyo, yes, all overseas, You should be able to wonder into a local hobby store and they may be able to order a kit for you if you don't want to go by net or by mail. Hobby link Japan is a great source, i have ordered lots from them, sometimes these kits are found on the notorious E auction site. I have an extra daisy duke type figure, still in box unglued n unpainted i'd barter with you. Attachments:
