How about this one?


Not actually a build, I was just cleaning up a Spectre Miniatures technical and an Empress Miniatures Panzer IB.

Love it! But the only way in and out is Dukes of Hazard style lol but I like it a lot

The Stalwart is a perfect exploration vehicle.

Picked up a few sets of Fast & Furious cars at a Toys R Us liquidation sale.   Some of them look pretty good straight out of the package, especially the armored Navistar.



I will miss Toys R Us :(

I bought a set of modern British Vehicle Crews from Empress.

Though designed for "rescaling" Airfix kits, I thought they would make a good crew for the Empress WW2 Jeep.

Someone on another thread asked about the size of the Trucks being released by Crooked Dice (available prerelease at Salute).

I have not assembled mine yet, but here is a size comparison (I have added the transmission and axles and started on assembling the cab - the roof is not attached).




As you can see, it is a good scale match to the Cadian Imperial Guard.

A better photograph after I have assembled it.

Parts shown here:

Definitely more Heroic Scale than suitable for say Empress' 28mm. Though sci-fi enough to work in a say a Mass Effect style setting without looking as out of place perhaps.

Nobody seems to have mentioned PondLand and other pound shops

These Police cars and pickups are in a pack of three for £1





Poundshop Tractor - again £1


An old Pound shop Humvee alongside the Warlord resin one (not seen these for a while)  In the background a die cast truck with a card back (car boot sale purchase)

Yes, Empress SAS Operators.


And another William Killian for scale.

I didn't see it mentioned, but Ainsty do a SWAT van - http://ainstycastings.co.uk/product_info.php/cPath/49/products_id/478

Mantic do a flat bed truck, although it's out of stock - http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/mantic-scenery-and-terrain/20th-century-brick/product/flatbed-truck.html

The GW Taurox thing, with the tracks replaced by wheels, should work

I have a resin Bushmaster MRAP from The Wargames Command Post - http://www.thewcp.co.uk/shop.php?CatID=283. There are a bunch of other models on that page that also look suitable.

Poundland, Wilkos, B&M etc are all good sources

Good point, Zinge do a wheeled and half track conversion for it.

I spent a while converting one of those a few (turns out it was nearly five :o) years ago. The idea was to make a Post Apoc Mystery Machine for the Hasslefree post apoc Scobby Gang




I even added equipment and supplies to the roofrack





I could never decide on a plough for it, which is one of the things that slowed me down

taken from a Ziku(?) model



homemade Cullen device



I even made a 6mm high Scrappy Do as a hood ornament (it will be where the Epic Space Marine proxy is in the images)



However, my vehicle weathering skills suck and I paniced at the thought of messing up the model trying to do the logo, so it has languished for nearly five years now. I still look at it regularly, so hopefully one day...
