Thank you sir.
This build will have a painted figure (driver). I normally don't paint them because I have never been very good at it but I will give it my best. The Jeep needs a driver.

Just takes practice. If you can build and paint a piece of ordnance, you've got the basic skills to paint a figure. Just takes practice, like anything.

I have found that lots of light coats works well as it keeps the details of the figures. Also 50/50 paint/water just flows better over the figures. Looks a bit weird to start with but as you build up the layers it comes together nicely. Practice is key to finding YOUR way of doing it.

Okay. Here he is. I just need to attach the other arm and line it up with the steering wheel.
