"afghan front war corespondants van in 20mm" Topic

just finnished my latest ambush alley vehicle in 20mm.
an outside broadcast van complete with satalie dish and aircon unit.
picture
it started out in my sons diesact collection as a simple 'yatming' usa ford van, now with new wheels, rear ladder, aircon unit and satalite dish for sending the news bulletins back home.
picture
the dish is scratchbuilt out of a few odds and ends and the decals are from a revell lorry kit.
picture
the original wheels were a little small so i used some old matchbox morris 17 pdr wheels, with knobly tyres.
figure is from the s & s models modern chinese pla range.
picture
might even get it in the next ambush alley game on weds eve.
someone will try to shoot at it.
thanks for looking

Looks cool!

Thanks,

i like , i like , well done , i have a similiar vehicle although a little dirtier .
Ive noticed Matchbox and Hot Wheels have started to make allot more everyday "civilian " looking vehicles ideal for use in AA games. Playing a game in war torn cities of the Middle East and Africa with Mustangs and Dodge Vipers just didnt look right , there are now plenty of buses and trucks and everyday "boring " cars to use to bring the streets alive , i dotn even mind the trucks and buses being out of scale , they look right. cheers Tom

Neat!
