Painted forklift

[sundayhero]

Hi,

I finished my first wargaming vehicle. In the past I painted a few slotcars, but the technic was a lot diferent. The goal was to make shiny varnished vehicles. This time, I wanted to paint the vehicle to fit my scenery and modern (superheroes, ATZ, and other universes in the future) 28mm minis.

The forklift is a cheap diecast I bought 1 year ago (see unpainted pic). It is 1/43 scale I believe, but the size is OK since forklifts exists in diferent sizes in the real life too. This one 's got tires instead of rubber stripes usually seen on small indoor machines, so it's probably inspired by a quite big forklift.


I'm happy with the final result, for a quite fast painting job (I'd say a couple of hours). What I learned will be usefull for my modern 20mm wargaming vehicles (I should paint 4 technicals soon), and also other ones I plan to create and paint.

Oi, you're not supposed to lift people up on a pallet, not safe! 

VERY nice, I like the muted paint. Want!

It looks the part (I spend half my day sitting on one) some instructional stickers and a load plate would finish it.
