Britains Deetail 54mm WWII U.S. Army Jeep #9786 (1977) - Pt 2 Insert Art

A lot of the packaging toys come in have really nice art and I've already posted a few examples from companies like LP and Atlantis Models. Today we'll take a quick look at the inserts provide with the Britains Deetail Jeep. With a bit of work, they're nice enough to print out and use with displays of the Jeep or other toys. Enjoy!

The Jeep's artwork is all line drawing in black, white, reds, and shades of brown - basic but serviceable.

The insert is one large piece of cardboard with the bottom, back, and sides all printed on it.

Cleaned up a bit and it's good 'nuff for guvmint work!

The rear features a line drawing of the Jeep

The road was a bit of a challenge. As it comes in the box, this is what you get. Pretty ragged huh?

After a couple of hours on Photoshop, I can print it out and use it in photos or to display other vehicles (which, umm I haven't done yet. But I will!!). It could probably use some more tweaking but quite frankly, if you're gonna put vehicles over it, the flaws won't be all that noticeable.

Britains Deetail 54mm WWII U.S. Army Jeep #9786 (1977) - Pt 1

This terrific Jeep mimics the one seen in the popular TV show "The Rat Patrol" that aired six years prior to the release of this toy. That MG mounted to the rear deck has become an iconic symbol of Jeeps even though most Jeeps weren't actually equipped in this fashion. The insert from this box was so interesting, I scanned it and did a bit of work to it which will be featured in the next post. Enjoy! Opa Fritz










I'm going to feature the re-worked cardboard inserts in another post
