Title: Star Mogul "Salvage Dog" APC Kitbash
Post by: Pappa Midnight on May 29, 2007, 08:25:13 PM

Vehicles aren't normally something I like doing but I picked up a lot of 1:48 plastic kits on Ebay for peanuts ( about £1.00 each).
I thought I'd have a go at turning a L.A.V. into a "Salvage Dog" for Star Mogul.
I think it's turned out OK and has got plenty of room to pick up Salvage!!!

I've also got a Bradley APC which I might use as a Pirate Vehicle.

Thanks for the comments  :)
Unfortunately I didn't take any "In progress" pics but here's a pic of the kit.

I've got the same Kitech kit and all I can say is you really did an amazing job with it. I'm glad I didn't paint mine yet because now I want to rip it apart and play around.

Nice to see.

I've seen these kits on the seafront at Scarborough but usually ignored them in the past (couldn't see any real use for them) so I shall have to look again next time I'm out.
