Post apocalyptic water merchant’s truck
« on: May 28, 2011, 09:56:25 AM »
I found this cool truck in toys r us from “Fast lane” for about $7 I painted it up as post apocalyptic water merchant’s truck straight out of the box.   Toys are a great source for terrain and vehicles.

Very nice indeed, effective and quite subtle - it looks batterred, but not unrealistic. I think sometimes people go a bit far with the 'Mad Max' look, this just looks like a hard-working vehicle.

What sort of size is it? I had a look on the blog but there are no scale shots...

Well the figure really does not fit the setting but it's what I had on hand.  But the figure is 28mm and the same size as a human. hope that gives you an idea :)

Very nice.   I may have to borrow that idea.

Thanks Bandit, that's very cool (nice fig too!) - it seems to scale pretty well.

Nice work, it looks a lot better with its new paint-job!

I've been seeing a bunch of this brand of scale vehicles at Toys 'R' Us lately and have been planning on buying a big load of them for a while now. I'm glad to see that they stand up well next to minis.

Great job!
