I've had this "Battle Machines" vehicle sat on my shelf for ages. It's supposed to be 1:32 scale but is way off and closer to 1:50. I had been looking for some inspiration to do something with it and found a nice mini for "Sulphur" called Big Momma ( 28mm resin). She's got a back patch with a skull and crossed spanners and thought she could do with a drive.
I did away with the over-sized rear gun on the rig and replaced it with a quad machine gun from a ww2 US vehicle. It needs weathering as it's far too clean!
Anyhow, here's a few shots:





Here's a couple of shots of Big Momma. She needs Basing and varnishing.




Here's a scale shot with Big Momma. The crappy base pushes her height a little but she will be put on a clear base to bring her down a bit.

Really good work!  Matching the driver and the truck's paint scheme is a great idea and it's nice to see some bright colors in a world of post apoc vehicles that seem to be awful drab.

The Jada Battle machines are really neat model/toys even if some of them are too big.  The big-rig, though is perfect for 28mm though and I kicked myself for not getting one when they were at Toys R Us.  We've got a couple of the Silverados in our post apoc collection, but they're not nearly as well painted as yours.
