Willys Jeep

I'm thinking there has to be members here that are jeep nuts. Particularly Willys (WWII to the 1950)
CJ-2A, CJ-3A, M-38, CJ-3B, M-38A1, CJ-5, DJ-3A/Surrey, DJ-5 & DJ-6, Jeepsters, Trucks, Wagon.

I'm in search of nice profile shots so I can model one. I prefer unmolested (original), although shots of a nicely done high hood (or others) I will consider.
I'm not looking for pictures of someones bogger that's rode hard put away wet.

Shots desired: Left, Right, Back, Front profiles.

Appreciate any help for photos or links to.

Rob, thanks.

I found a few 3-views earlier on, although they left a bit to absorb. Even the blueprints are lacking dimensionally.
Don't misinterpret my comment, as I know good drawings of these damn things are hard to find. All seem to be drawn by hand at some point in time.
I've seen many "bad ass" (it's a jeep thang) renditions as they make their way to becoming the ultimate crawler in their owners eyes. My neighbor has one that he's invested (long since sold) over $25,000 in to bestow that billy goat. I wish I had gotten pictures back then.

I've been to a lot of sites and looked at literally hundreds of them. Bits, pieces and poser shots. Great for bragging rights, but not what "I" need for my intention considering the application.

The 3-views are nice. Although, nice profile photos would be better in my case as I want to use the photos for a realistic final representation on my templates. Hence the (not wanting) rode hard put away BEAT image request.:pop4:

The images of the drawings are a plus. I will tuck them away for future modeling in higher detail. Right now, my abilities aren't up to par to take something like that on.

Thank-You

By the way, I drink whiskey.
 
have you checked the military vehicle preservation association website?..right now im at a loss for the name of the site that is all jeep...but its all "restored jeeps" no rock crawlers...and the majority are WWII jeeps..there are also a series of books ..three books...again..i cant think of the darned name...but its everything jeep..world war two....not customised jeeps...

You will soon learn to hate those 'artistic' angled shots :mixedsmi:

ROFL exactly! Or the shadows in the upper part of wheel rims!

I found a good kind of source which I used lately. There are some superb modelers out there that produce vary accurate 1:35 or even larger models of the vehicles.
They are usually willing to take images of their models that can be used perfectly for texturing a 3d model.

Cheers,

Here is something you can use as a guide? It's been done already? Can you beat this? Why so much questions? I don't know why.

Been using Gary's jeeps in FSX... very much interested on your take of WW2 jeeps and vehicles!

I'm not necessarily interested in just having a jeep in FSX. More of an interest modeling it.
Finding good resource material is not easy. Even being a military icon.
