My collection of cars
« on: 11 January 2010, 03:43:45 AM »
Found these recently at "Dollar General" for $2 each.  They are 1/43 according to the box but they seem to work good.  Shown next to 30mm-ish tall figures.   

The jeep I got used in the local train store-not sure of maker.  The bus is also an old model from the local train store. 



















This is my boomstick!

Thanks for the comments folks.  The girl is a private production fig from a game club.  They made her in resin and I bought 2 from them a couple of years ago at a show.  Sorry.

That is indeed a great collection :)

Now you just need to dirty them up a bit so that they do not look straigt out of the car dealer.

A good trick is to use weathering powder - or just use the dust from chalk art crayons

How does one use the weathering powder?  I've heard about this before but am unsure of the technique involved.
