Not painting any. Sculpting, for sure, but that's like... Work.  ;D

Fun work though.

A stubby little slix pickup truck. I'm going to try some weathering techniques on it, I think. I'm not amused that they've raised the price on them though.   :-I

Edit for new purchases:

A slix fire engine, which is pretty small but doesn't look too out of scale because it hasn't got any visible doors. Also a couple of market day purchases yesterday- a really scratched up diecast sports car and a diecast sci-fi minibus that practically screams Judge Dredd, but sadly would only scale up well with 10mm figures. It'll make a cracking sci fi limousine, I imagine.

Three Blue Moon classics; the Capone Special, the Roadster and the Short-bet Stake Truck.
Gotta get with those Pulp Alley car chases.

Thought I'd throw up a picture of all the cars I've been buying over the past few weeks.



Miniature stuck in the gridlock for scale.  :)

I see Lledo listed on Ebay at mainly 1/64th. How does that scale to 28mm figures anyone?

if that is the actual scale of the models, then they will be more in scale with true 25mm (like Ground Zero Games, Denizen, old WEG star wars, old ral partha, etc...)

I have some Lledo vehicles and though on the small side I think they scale up fine to 28 mm. I am not sure if 1/64 is the true scale I have been told that these vehicles vary a lot.

Another market day swoop. When I bought it I thought it was the Technodrome from TMNT. After some research it turns out to be in fact the Rock Planet from the War Planets toy range. Pictures aren't mine, my camera's out of batteries.





It's big enough to work as a big, archaic drop pod, and the opening hatch is a plus.
