Thanks.

I'm sure they will find a place in a game or two. Maybe owned by a main character or just parked as background scenary

I've got a two-tone green version of the 2nd one - it's his lordship's chauffeur-driven ride. Got mine nice and cheap at a toy fair a few years back.

Good score. I could really do with these at the moment. I'm having trouble getting my hands on vehicles for my Law and The Mob stuff that I'm currently doing. Although I do have one on the way via ebay.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

Try trating them with a little bit of Modelmates weathering liquid.

I used mostly 'Soot' on these.
Just paint it on liberally and dab it off with a damp bit of cotton wool until you get the result that you happy with.

After that it is just a matter of drybrushing a little brown paint on to represent mud.

These cars only took about an hour from start to finish.






More cars and vans are in my Strange Aeons thread if you are interested:
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=39808.855

(The cars n the AAR at the top of the page show the cars in their original state, while those at the bottom and on later pages show them after they have had the 'treatment').
