British School of Archaeology Scania Vabis Exploration Vehicles
« on: November 19, 2012, 07:25:43 PM »
A couple of vehicles I have finally finished after a VERY long time:











I deliberately left the Union Flag and BSA markings off of the truck version to make it more useable
They were all drawn to the Keep; the soldiers who brought death; the father and daughter fighting for life; the people who have always feared it; and the one man who knows its secret....

Now, they are quite delightful! :-* I'd be happy to trundle off into the back of beyond in one of those.  :)

Another question...How did you make the canvas on the back of the one truck?  Aluminum foil?

I used metal wire for the supports and tissue paper painted with thinned down PVA.  Next time I will use heavier ply paper.
