is that a Speak And Spell hanging from the raider's belt?

I do belive it is

Haha Speak and Spell - that takes me back!

Great trucks - is that Nuka Cola logo a transfer?

The Nuka Cola Logo is a printout from the Internet.

One of those replacement bandages for Coca Cola-bottles.

You can say that again, surfing these forums can be lethal for your credit card...

So I am curious on the trucks (which I was able to get a couple of) how did you weather them so well, is that some sort of "weathering chalk"? Basically how did you get them to look so dilapidated (it's the same technique you used on your cars). Is it a wash?
Inquiring and inspired painters would love to know.
Thanks.

The Nuka Cola truck was completely stripped and repainted. Then just drybrushed several browns and blacks on.

The rest of the trucks was disassembled and treated with a wire brush to remove paint and break the sealing varnish open. After that i scratched more paint off with a screwdriver and a knife.

Next step is to take enamel paint (i use Revell "rust" colour, think it's even called so), thin it or use it straight from the pot. Paint all parts and rub the still wet paint away with kitchen roll. The rust paint stays in the crevices and even the altered areas keep a rusty haze.

A good finish is to drybrush a light beige on everything. Which i haven't done on all of the trucks/cars.

Hope that helps. I hope on the weekend there will be a little update with some more Raiders and maybe another truck.

What a great project and effort!

Especially love the raiders, but everything is top notch!

Excellent! The raiders are fantastic (the Last King of Scotland in particular - where are the minis from?), the loot counters are spot on, and the van is pure brilliance. Great project!
