[WWII] Jeeeep!!!

After watching Saving Privet Ryan, and Band of Brothers, and seeing all of the WWII MOCs I decided I needed to make one my self, here it is:

And the Parachute variant:

*Update again* Gray Jeep

Anyway, I think it's a little to bright with that shade of green. Try it in dark bley or dark green.

Yep, and work on the shaping a bit.

What's off about the shaping? And I would have used a darker color, but I just don't think I have the bricks to do it. :/

I bet you used the Toy Story (shame on lego for the crap!) army dudes set. I've got it too, but only for the figs. The woman at the store asked if it was a present! (moment of shame that I share with lego!)

This is great for a first-timer! You've got the basic shape down and the parachute version is epic. My only nitpicks are the front bumper, it'd be cooler if it were 6 wide and vertical, not horizontal, and if the hood could be just one stud over the wheel mudguards instead of 2. Great work here all around.

Thanks, and I'll see what I can do about the bumper, but what do you mean by the hood should be one stud over the wheel mudguards instead of two?

Sorry to double post, but I have updated the first post to show pics of the updated front.

Now the grill looks too sunken in. I say bring that out a little too.

I think that's kind of how they're supposed to be:

Yes, but yours is too far back.

The way the bumper is held on the grate can't move forward, and I also thought the front looked funny when I tried moving it forward.

Then try moving the bumper back half a plate. (Use some jumpers. )

I believe it will rub on the tires then.

Another update, first post has been edited with pics of new Gray Jeep.

Well done Brandon, they are both good but I perfer the non-parachute varient. I hope to see lots more great WWII MOCs from you.

Hmmm. Try to lower it somewhat, and at least increase the hood length by one stud, if not two.
