I picked up a few random trucks and other vehicles with the idea that I could convert them into rag tag insurgent vehicles. I have a good bit of Sahadeen and some of the Khurasan scifi insurgents. Including all the leaders.
here is the first attempt to up armor a flat bed truck.
I used window screen on the windows and tried to cut some slots for the drivers to see through in the windshield. I took a 72nd scale tiger model part and used it to cover the gas tanks. figuring they needed more protection. The sides of the bed are tracks from that same kit.
The LGS owner had a bunch of those tiger kits in the back. They are extremely brittle and old. He can't sell them so I inherited a good handful for conversion bit.
Here is a comparison shot with the Khurasan figs. Including the Teacup.
I'm still on the fence about what to do with the bed. I might cover it up with something so it doesn't look empty.
The figs fit really nice in the bed.
I figure you can fit a ton of insurgents in it but I can only fit 3 or 4 guys in the bed at a time due to the bases. I might leave it open and use them to represent loaded passengers firing out. Not everyone can so the rest will be huddling in the bed behind the armored walls.
I might hit it with a light coat of primer so I can see what stands out after the bright colors are covered up. I'll be able to file down and adjust anything then.
