I have not showed off any WIP vehicles for a while. I hope this will whet your appetites.

This is going to be the transport for the Wasteland Transport Co. It started life as a cheap dumper truck I picked up years ago. I hated the wheels so I ditched them and use some Ramshackle ones. It gives it a real wastelands look. I lost the dumper skip and I am in the middle of building a new rear cab from recycled Itunes vouchers.

I am thinking additional fuel tanks and a removable roof with a luggage rack. The front windows could to with some armour too I think.

I also have a tanker truck of one of these trucks. If this works I will do something similar with that but keep the tank on the back.

Ta, the missus gets everyone to get her them for Xmas and Birthdays. I have a small mountain of them.

The going is slow on the truck.

Got the roof and the back ledge done. The rear part of the roof comes off so I can move figures around in it. I have to decide what to use as window and door coverings next. ^o)

Might be slow, but it is going and that's the main thing!

A couple of WIPs to keep the juices flowing.

The Skrap Wranglers eye their new ride...

This was a 1/35 M113 APC kit. I added wheels and PA'd it up. It just needs paint. I am waiting for some decent weather so I can undercoat it.

I got a 1/24 Rommel Rod kit for Xmas. Its not my scale. So I set to work building a transporter out of it for my wastelands. Whats the PA world without HUGE vehicles??

Its a bit of a monster but I think I can get some chase games in with this rig. Skrap Wrangers, Water Merchants and Traders can use it. Or it can be a goon transport for those larger factions.

Again I am waiting for some decent weather to undercoat it.

So, the British Government intentionally acts in stupid ways to control the populace? Sounds very much like the American Government hasn't got a market on that after all!! :lol:

Can't you commandeer the basement for your priming needs? I gather that that might give the Missus a most welcome opportunity to be upset about something new, right? ;)

As for Government stupidity: You Americans are noobs in that sector - leave it to the pro's in ol' Europe! It was your unwelcome competition that forced us to found the EU so we could maintain our lead by having practically TWO incompetent governments!

Gacy was waiting for a toga party? No doubt he was looking for a plea of insanity to save him from his appointment with the State of Illinois executioner...
