a group of pick-up ridin' low rent PMC's suitable for either afghanistan or iraq... 3 crew per ride - the brief was to show them as mounted or dismounted (hence the third figure to represent the driver) - figures are all by the rather lovely Liberation Miniatures (and a dream to paint) and the pick-ups are 1/72nd toy cars repainted... stowage is a mixture from the spares box....

cheers, rob :hello:



ride #1 - mounted

ride #1 - dismounted


ride #2 - mounted

ride #2 - dismounted


ride #3 - mounted

ride #3 - dismounted


the boys....

Very nice.  Excellent PJs and great basing.
I really like the window/glass effect on the vehicles.

Nice job.Trucks look top notch too.

Great job. The weathering on the trucks had me checking for scale. Top notch.

Those are awesome!! I really like everything about them. Now, could you help me out as I am about to "dirty" up my pick ups and other vehicles for Iraq / Afghanistan. Could you give me some tips on how to get such great looking dust / dirt look on tires, edge of vehicle, etc.....PLEASE!!

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
