My first pulpish truck

I hope you like the result:

Nice one. I have one of these myself but found it a little large, I use a lot of the slightly smaller Lledo and Corgi types for wargaming.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

Well painted.
Diecasts works well for so many periods.
Plus they tend to cost less.

Yeah, those Fords are a perfect large truck for my minis. I have the same one as well.

Oh I like that a lot - very nice! I've been having a go at repainting die cast as well but not with your skill!

@Fram: It is the result of the chipping medium. On the blog, it is described in more detail.

@Wolfen: Thanks for your comment.
