I used parts from my extensive bits trunk and superglue to build this water/fuel truck (Still undecided) It had tracks in the rear. This is what it looks like with wheels. . I may put the tracks back on. I'm still working on these there's not enough stuff and details on them and was distracted by building the 20mm bus and warlands vehicles. This and the other vehicles were given a quick neutral desert paint job for some game in the past.

Buggy 1 "The duck". It's got a water propellors from a 1/35 scale "schwimwagen" So maybe it is amphibious?

A small truck to carry the loot. I covered the cargo area with wire and paper. the soaked it in glue to make it rigid and a bit more durable. When that was dry I painted it.

Man these are fantastic.

I love the watertruck, it looks really Ramshackle.

The buggy bodies look like bits of Robotech models with GW chassis/wheels. The truck is ace too. A simple mod can de-ork it.

Great stuff and I am looking at the bits box for some new things to make!

Great Work Hollander - they've all got a great 'cobbled together out of junk' look! And I like the conversion on the Warzone figure you've used for scale!

Wow, these look great. The tarp on the truck looks very realistic.

I think I like the second buggy the most. Has an nice sci-fi look to it without being over the top.

My vote goes for the school bus! Now that would have been a lot more fun to ride in as kids.

:coffee: I cleaned out the room that we use to store winterclothes, games, motorcycle clothing, helmets, my battledress etc... Amidst all this stuff there is an old small desk in the corner that I use to kitbash...

Now that I can actually reach and use that desk again I've started to work on my Westwind and EM bikers.

here are some pics of a work in slooooow progress.

I ride a 2007 BMW R1200GS (90.000km since juli 2007) and I really wanted to build a 28mm scale version of that bike.
here is my 1st attempt (no paint yet) and pardon me for the quality of some the photo's.

It needs some panniers. I'll probably use some 1/35 scale ammo boxes

a 2nd kitbash using the same basic model(not converted to boxer engine yet) and a blackscorpion biker.

That left the bitch that fell off the Black Scorpion bike. So I did a head swap with another westwindbiker (turning it into a terminator lookalike) and seated here to ride bitch with the terminator, after all he is the ultimate baddass. Or is she Sara Conner and bodyguard?

simple but effective conversions.

I just wonder why all the bikers use their right arm to fire the gun. Since on my bike the throttle is on the right side (right :-)) I would wield a weapon in my left hand and control the speed with the throttle and rearwheel brake (foot) both on the right side..right?

The cylinder heads came from a 1/35 scale ww2 german (BMW) . I've cut'm in half so that they extend no too wide (out to the side). I have a feeling that I have another pair lying around deep in the bits box, If I can't find them I'll try to model them some other way. I just like the look of the boxer engine.
