Dirty Willy
January 2010: Well, say hello to Willy Mk2! As part of my Stumpkin project, I wanted a funky driver, so thought Willy would be just the ticket! I've decided to have him waving at the crowd (just hope he fits in the cab!) and put a few extra details on him since I painted my first Willy last year (goodness, it was actually 18 months ago now!).
I've used some of the WWII stickers on the seatbelt pads and as his shoulder patch, plus a retro Bell graphic left over from my Scorcher project. I've also spent a lot of time weathering his race suit (so he looks like he's just finished the Baja 1000!) and blending colours for his boots and gloves. I also used a navy blue for his helmet lining as I felt this was a touch more realistic?
Anyway, I hope you like him! - here are a few snaps - he's currently downstairs being laquered at the moment! Jx
