Thank you. I spent a lot of time figuring out what size figure is needed and I'm very happy about the result I got. The Willys is really small compared to other vehicles.IMO this is the perfect size for the Sawback. Willy's are small cramped vehicles in 1:1. "thumbsup"
A lot of other figures I see in Sawbacks are simply too small. While the chassis is 1:10 like for example an SCX10, the body is somewhere around 1:6, 1:7 scale. The proportions aren't exactly consistent all the way around.
I calculated an average scale based on the width, length and height of the Sawback body and a Willys before looking at figures.
I noticed that in a lot of pictures of 1:1 Willys that the top of the driver's head is about at the same height as the top of the windshield, that is what I aimed for while finetuning my figure.
When your figure is roughly the correct height there is hardly any space for the lower legs since there is no footwell in the body.
