Fellow 15mm Sci-fi guys, Here is a vehicle I adjusted to use as a 15mm MRAP for planetside police actions. I posted a review on my blog with pictures, here: link Thanks, StrikeLeader |

Nice find and I like the lower look you did to it, I'll have to grab a few next time I go out. :D |

Yup i saw these just the other day on E-Bay and thought they could be very usable, i like how you have dropped it down those few MM it makes all the difference. How did you get the wheels off did you have to cut the axle then pop the wheels back on and replace the old axle with a new piece of wire then reattach the under plate? I also noticed that 6x wheeled hauler in your other topic which looks incredibly useful

Agreed with other comments: dropping it makes all the difference between 'too comedic' and very 'useable'. Good find but very good job. I now rather wish I'd done it with some of the vehicles I've recently painted up :( But I'm not going to pull the wheels of now ;). Next time, though

Saw one on the rack this weekend but I was on a mission and didn't get a chance to look at it closely. I guess I'll be going to Target sometime this coming weekend. |

sometimes the simplest conversions make the biggest difference – nice |
