Willys MB Gasser (AMT/Hasegawa kitbash, 1:24)

[Prince Ital Mike]

Hallo, I'd like to introduce my current project, the Willys MB Gasser build. Engine, frame and wheels are Corvette, the rest is Willys MB.

After a lot of cutting and not so much measuring:

Dry fitting after surfacer:

 

Still a lot of work to do.

Thanks for your attention, feel free to comment and criticize. :)

This is really cool! I love this idea. There have even been a few of these in 1:1 built and raced or showed. Great idea, I will be watching.

[Beamerman]

Wow this is stunning! Cant wait to see how this continues....

Nice work Michael, I like where you are going with this one. Here’s my take on the gasser Jeep to give you some inspiration.

[Prince Ital Mike]

Thanks, guys.

Nice Jeep, Stuart! I'm considering cutting the windshield too.

[Prince Ital Mike]

Small update: I made a highly sofisticated exhaust system from the brass tube.

There was a digital art piece going around about ten years ago......want to build.....to many projects.....I'll watch yours!

 

[Prince Ital Mike]

Nice one! You should build it ASAP, Dave ?

Today's progress: bodycolour and seats before wash.

[Mattilacken]

Nice! I like it allot! Those wheels look great!

[Zippi]

This thing is really kewl man.  I'm diggin it.

[Prince Ital Mike]

Look who's under the grill ?

[Prince Ital Mike]

Trailer bed: BMF, boards from the wooden sheet (KA Models), some dark wash and pigments.

[Zippi]

That bed looks pretty nice there Michael. Has that real look effect.

I like your grill detail and wish it was a little more visible. The detailing of the trailer floor looks very realistic.  

[Prince Ital Mike]

Thank you, guys.
I hope the leopard straps are still a thing... ?

Dashboard and seats after wash:

Very cool build.

[Mr. Metallic]

@NitroMarty, you gotta share yours

[Prince Ital Mike]

Thank you, guys.

I drilled and wired the horn to make it look a bit more realistic.
