Hi guys
This is my WIP war rig for all Post Apoc scenarios, sorry, forgot to take pics before I base coated it, I masked the flames of the original cab because they were just to cool to waste, the drivers cab actually looks like the bonnet of that car, it has a cage over the windows, the prime movers cab and engine are an amalgamation of 2 Matchbox/Hotwheels cars, the wheels and undercarriage of the cab and trailer is from a WWII 1/72nd Trumpeter Dragon Wagon, the trailer upper is from a cheap truck trailer and a Matchbox van cut in half for the fighting compartments, one of the pics has the seat area for the van with MG and gunner, I also have a couple of loose figures to man the trailer defences (that are among my survivor conversions in an earlier post)

Wow, this is a BEAST!
ReplyDeleteYeah she’s got some bones to her, need to get some paint slapped on,
DeleteYeah... sometimes you really shouldn't think about all the work a model still requires.
DeleteSuperbly bonkers design. I can't wait to see it finished :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, pretty crazy, I love the freedom of PA and scifi.
DeleteDamn wish you took some WIP shots. Ive been wanting to build something like this but dont know where to start.
ReplyDeleteI’d start with a chassis, I had a really good one with a Trumpeter Dragon wagon, but any good truck will do, then find something that will make a good cab, find the angles you want (I wanted the sloped cab) you’ll probably need to glue some support struts, then start adding details, lights, steps, ladders, chains etc.
DeleteThis looks sweet so far!
ReplyDeleteScreams "Mad Max" to me. Well done so far.
ReplyDeleteMost impressive vehicles!
