Ok, your conversions are always great, but this idea of yours with the cute teddy bear, drives me crazy!
Genius, well thought!!! Love it!

Can you not leave both options on the buggy? Maybe use magnets? Let’s you swap out the loads for different games?

Great idea with the teddy!

Where’s he(she) from?

Now that's a thought Andy, although I am not sure I'm skilled enough with my magnet hole drilling. Might try an equivalent with a wire pin though.

Teddy bears are from TT Combat. Link below

Daft question but what is the sensor sensing?

Love the updates though, very cool

Not a daft question at all, proved by the fact I had to really think before answering. Following the logic of Fallout world science, where even food is edible after 200 years, I'm going to say it's picking up residual automatic distress signals, or other automated messages, indicating the presence of broadcast equipment worth salvaging.

Also made my second track-bike so my lady-trackers scout pair is now complete. Again, apols for the not well-lit photos.

And the bike itself...

Where did you get the ATV?

Seeing theses makes me think these would be a good addition to your board, a couple of Vespas. Obviously they’d need your trademark stowage on to them though.....

Nice stowage on those bikes.

Regarding your question on the vehicle mounted guns, I'd go the magnet route. I have also used Lego 1x1 round tiles to mount weapons.

Lookin' pretty sweet overall, I never thought to use those Raging Heroes as post-apoc but they sure do work for it.

Hi Andy, great minds and all that. Already got a few of these wonderful minis, although I intend to use them as run-abouts inside Junktown rather than out in the cruel wastes.

Sinewgrab, the ATV is Airfix British in Afghanistan 1/48. Unlike every other vehicle here, I can say from personal experience that the real things are awesome

I have now finished the build for the majority of the Lady-scrappers' vehicles. WIPs shown below. I've also had a go at a quad-biker using a Raging Heroes model. As you say Dr M, I reckon they will work quite nicely for Post Apoc as long as I can get rid of the 'not even vaguely Falloutesque' laser weapons. Some loads aren't strapped down because I want to be able to use them 'unpacked' at a salvage site as scatter terrain.

So, onto the WIPS.
