The first two are going to be bodged into PA-shape (my first attempt...) and the smaller rallycars are for scenery in the upcoming Zed efforts.

Something like this:? http://youtu.be/AAiCRuK98ig About the cars, some of them looks very good to make some PA cars. The rest are better destroyed to make terrain...

I had a few ideas (seen them all around this site probably... ), but alas, due to the cheap plastic even superglue was struggling to get the pieces to stick. In the end I kind of made a simple job out of it to get it into some kind of fashion. I knocked out the plastic windows and put some cardboard in its place. The weathering I accomplished by putting dabs of GW Gunmetal and then put mix of Blazing Orange and Brown inside. Job done. Oh, well, at least I've learned something from this that I can take with me to the next exercise. Attached to this post: Car_side.jpg (187.56 KB) Car_back.jpg (155.28 KB) Car_front.jpg (174.09 KB)

You could also add some bits or even "bad guys" inside These cars are full of possibilities

Big boss warlord dude! Posts: 15,699 Group: Admins Member #1 Joined: Jul 22, 2008	Not a bad start. One tip is to sand the surfaces of the car and plastic before glueing. For some reason some toys and plastics have a coating on them that makes super glue not want to be super glue. I discovered this on a recent conversion.

I shall try that on car no 2, or I can always buy more of these... (2 for less than £1, that's insanely cheap!!!)
