|  Mat's Willy!
Not much to say about the build, pretty standard stuff apart from RatRC's cms mod ( thanks  )Did a little trimming on the front end and front wheel arches. Still waiting on some electrics to get this thing running.      Just need more detailing and some correct colour camo for the driver now  |

That is so sick! Nice work! This has to be my next RC. The photo filter you used is perfect. And please share where you got your driver. Thanks! |

Looks great, that's pretty much exactly what I have planned for mine, which driver is that.

Cheers fella's The driver is a HM Armed Forces figure here in the UK. HM Armed Forces Toys & HM Armed Forces Action Figures He's roughly 10" tall....but I did cut about 10mm out of his torso because he was a little too tall. Was thinking of cutting the seat too just to get him that little bit lower still. |

| Re: Mat's Willy! Mate you have done a really good job I like it, maybe take him down a bit so his head doesn't stick over the window. If you have a wraith you could use the guns that came out of the scale tree too |

I made a little wire bending jig so I could make myself some grab rails out of some ali welding rod......   Squeezed the ends in the vice and drill a 2mm hole....test fit....  ....then of to the spray shop (out the back door with a rattle can!!)  As you can see I got my dude some new threads too!! Also hacked his groin a bit to get his legs up a bit higher and removed the seat which makes him sit a lot better in the jeep..I will prob make a new seat too.    |

No apologies needed. Your work is great. If you ever decide to sell your grab irons, put me first on the list. I like what you're doing with the top. Do you plan to make it functional?

That's coming together really well, really really well. Have you thought about having a passenger with a machine gun? You could have the window folded down with it resting on the bonnet
