It was a cheap 'made in China' plastic toy, it has no scale (as there is no real-world equivalent) but I think 1:50-55 is close. Compared to models it looks good 8) |

Those vehicles are awesome man, great conversion work and paint jobs. What parts were used to make the drivers as I struggle to model open top vehicles and am considering sculpting my own legs for drivers ? I also like the rusty burnt out bus in the background, what scale is it ? Once again Top Effort well done !!!!!!! |

Thanks! The buses are roughtly 1:43 I guess, but there was no scale indication on one of them and the other one wasn't even a scale model, just a 'made in China' approximation of a real bus. Here's a piccie of the scale model:  You can read more about the buses here, "Oblivion" is the scale model and "Regret" is the "Made in China" knock-off': http://combatzonechronicles.net/cozoxb/punks.htm For the legs it's easiest if you sculpt a pair of seated legs and then make copies of it using Green Stuff. The legs are usually not that noticeable so the sculpt doesn't have to be perfect or very detailed. Here is a tutorial on Green Stuff moulding: http://www.heresy-online.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4887 You can also use this technique on larger and more intricate pieces (like seated legs) as the cured GS remains flexible. Be advised that this gobbles up large amounts of Green Stuff so get buy it cheap  Alternatively, you can order TAG ("The Assault Group") US Chopper crew and swap their heads:  http://www.theassaultgroup.co.uk/store/product.php?productid=240&cat=21&page=1 I did this for my Water Merchants: http://s1.zetaboards.com/Post_Apoc_Wargames/topic/3816726/ Also, the EM4 bike riders might be suitable for some vehicles, that does leave you with an unmanned bike though. There may be other suitable driver/crew figures out there but I can't really help you with that 8) |

Awesome models! I like specially the monster-truck twingo and the profaned Mercedes-Benz E class. Good work, looks very post-apocalyptic, like the final scene of the pursuit in the "doomsday" film. =) |
