Hello again,

i am happy to read (every) comment from you guys. Thank you very much.

As is said before my next tarrain piece idea was stolen from the user Eilif: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=70480.msg857662#msg857662

I LOVE the HotWheels Power Charger from 1993. The Color ist terrifying, but the shape is so cool. It is the best Power Charger / Power Booster they made (just shape wise). Problem is: To get them! In the USA you can find them sort of frequently on ebay (or go to the second hand stores), but here in germany? No way!
I had luck and got 4 of them in a row on ebay from the US for only 9,- EURO. Shipping was ~30,- EUR, but hey, there were no other possibilities. If we count it togehter 10,- EUR for such an beautiful piece was a good price. But who cares... lets see how i painted them:


















WiP Pics:








And i painted 2 Games Workshop "Relais Stations". Great Models...







If you want, you can combine them:




Happy new year 2016,
Jan

Excellent kit-bash stuff...though I laughed at the GW stations adornment of skulls (of course!).  I think your power stations are incredible.

I only just found this thread and I'm glad I did. Your junkyard is excellent and your ideas for converting toys are great.

Blimey, these Hot Wheels cranes and power charges are fantastic pieces of terrain, in particular with your paintjob!

Jan, your power stations look phenomenal!  Really glad to see these finished. I thought mine were pretty good, but your paintjob takes them to a whole new level. 

I had missed this thread before, but your other terrain is great also.  I have got to find me one of those cranes!

That is just superbly cool. Great finds and even better converting them into this ace looking terrain.
