VBCW BUF Gun Truck

[TadPortly]

Matchbox MOY Mack truck conversion using Lancia 3RO as inspiration and a Plus Model 1/35 watercooled .50 cal as the basis for a 2pdr pompom.







My first use of the "hairspray method" for wear and tear on the flatbed.

Yes, I like that! Any chance of some pics next to some of your miniatures?

[commissarmoody]

I like and as Christian said can we see a few pics next to some of your mins?

Looks ramshackle and cobbled together- so just right! The flag looks very thin when over the engine vents, but really good from above.
 Nice work.

[TadPortly]

Its a wet silk flag

Here's a shot with an Empress SCW fig (painted as BUF Westminster Militia) and a BUF Legionary from Musketeer (both mid-basing sorry!):

That's a great conversion, Tad:) Well done.

Another method for wear and tear, I've used it successfully for my Lancia IZM for the Spanish Civil War and some 15mm armor - salt chipping. Are you familiar with it? Works a treat.
