• Grumpy's Volkswagen Kübelwagen WWII Nazi Jeep

Ok, Millions of pics As some of you know I've been working on this for some time (look in the WIP thread), well it took about a week to build but I was waiting for Butler/Woodchuck to build the suspension for me (thanks bro +rep) Anyway, presenting Grumpy Hitler's Kublewagen, with 300+ props, 4 seats, full suspension (^), breakable light bulbs (rofl, just a side effect of prop choice). Called the ugliest porsche ever made designed by the man himself. Built/based of a Vw beetle chasis, this jeep was a real winner in the war.... well they lost but hey. Custom lights and custom seats, each front seat with 21 props. "In November 1943, the U.S. military conducted a series of tests as well on several Type 82s they had captured in North Africa; they concluded that the vehicle was simpler, easier to manufacture and maintain, faster, and more comfortable for four passengers than the U.S. Jeeps." A real show of the superior nature of German engineering. For scaling, instead of the normal (for some of us) setting up a box based on source units (inches), I spent a long time looking at pics of ppl in the wagen then I sat players in the gmod seat and built a scaling system around that. Overall it looks a bit big, but as one of the below pics show, it is about the same size as the hl2 jeep and car props. Also some of the pictures show the phx seat being used with the arms outstretched and I must make this clear, [b]I did not build or place on props on the car using this seat[/b] that is just what happened when I sat someone down on the kubel seat using that chair which I think shows a pretty good scale.
