Post Apocalypse/Mad Max Vehicles - Update: 28 Mar 20: V8 Interceptor (Pg 9)

They seem to have a lot of SIKU stuff in the Danish stores as well - but I'll have to go there, as no scales are referred in the Danish webstore 

Luckily, we have a large Toys'r'Us in Odense, only 15 min away.

Siku is 1/55 generally for cars and for most of the trucks.
Some trucks are 1/50 and there is a agricultural range of 1/32 and another of H0 scale in 1/87.
The scale is always visible on the box.

This would be cool in a scale fitting 28 mm

[Silent Invader]

On my Scavenge Skirmish Survive 'vehicles' page I've got images and scales of whole load of vehicles by Siku and others. Towards the bottom of the page.

PS: My favourite Siku is the Unimog

This is rather 1/87 and the rocket is totally out of scale...

Who cares - James Bond would still have to defuse it

Niiiiiice. There's a lot to like there, but I think my favourite thing is the tyres not being all a uniform size. That really gives it the scavenged look.

All the same tyres just looks wrong.  By adding a few variations it looks much better, although arranging them in a "random" pattern takes a while.

Love it, Please Bring it to BLAM for a game!

Possbily.    I need to do more for a decent game and currently can't be sure I will have the time to do so.

Have been to Toys'R'Us last Saturday and discovered the SIKU-range of diecast models, many of them in 1/50 or 1/55 scale! Among them a fine yellow schoolbus like the one shown here in 1/55 scale. The link shows 3 pics and a hand for scale comparison, it looks pretty nice to me:

A good find, although it seems slightly smaller and with a few different details.

A minor update as I rush to complete the last few bits to beat the deadline.

Old Copplestone Grenadier sculpts and a dodgy wip sculpt of my own:



This will be the driver for the next buggy:



Converted by replacing his right hand holding a pistol with one pointing. Added a bow to his left hand and replaced a sheathed shotgun on his back as a quiver for the bow:


Minor conversions to change their firearms for crossbows:



Now a few days of painting ahead....

[Malamute]

Looking good so far.

[Bugsda]

Genius 

[OSHIROmodels]

Great stuff 

cheers

[Constable Bertrand]

Those smaller grenadier sculpts will work well with/inside the slightly smaller vehicles. That's a very tidy conversion of the veteran wastelander.

Cheers
Matt.

[Too Bo Coo]

Loving the crossbow conversions!!

[Overlord]

Well the "few days" turned into 9 months...

No2 is a straight paint, whilst the other 3 have had minor modifications:





2 central miniatures newly painted, with the others just rebased:





Painted driver for the next buggy:
 

I've nearly finished the next buggy, so more to follow soon.

Worth the wait though, nice brushwork
