Title: My first pulpish truck
Post by: DavyJones on August 31, 2018, 04:35:04 PM

For my Pulp adventures, I needed a truck. So, I bought a diecast and make it ready for the gaming table.

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.

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.
