They are what you see running about many thrid world countries. Imrpovised armour and a machine gun (or other heavy weapon) mounted on the back. Basically a primative armoured car!

Most of 'em don't both with the armour - hack a hole in the roof or the back covering off one and stick a HMG, RRL, etc in the back and bobs yer technical!

Ah, then the answer to your question is yes, providing I can find a suitable HVY MG!

I heard the world technial.

*cracks his neck*

Anyway, us raiders love techinals. Fast, cheap and well usen, like a good hooker. Sometimes, we don't even both with a achine gun.

Why should we? We have grenade lachners. and bazookas. And a giant harpoon.

I got into one of the vehicles for the DD's today, but I've come to a brain fart with regards to the turret:

So I decided to get on with their urban riot vehicle (decided on the GZG riot vehicle as opposed to a Vietnam APC):

Nice work - I like your armour on the AWD. You could drill a big hole in the roof and make a ring for the weapon. One idea for a MG is to take a 40K IG rifle - cut the mag off and barrel. Put a longer barrel on (sprue) and make a side mounted ammo box. If it seems a little light - then double it up. Twin LMG's! Nasty!

Is the APC going to be a beat up one or something fresh from the vault?

Jesus that APC looks blue on screen!!

Your idea on the MG was along the lines of what I was thinking. I had a hunt in the bits box, even checked a Tamyia kit but found nothing I could just plonk straight on. Guess it's been a while since I had a good kit bash, time to plastic MG it!!

The APC obviously from my exclamation is no where near that bright IRL, but it will get the standard paint chipping, red dust, and wheel dirt effect. I'm hoping the red dust will dull it all down a bit.
I finished the blue off tonight while watching Super Troopers, looks quite nice actually...

Just a seggustion, but maybe the tehnial has abunch of graffti on the side? Like, they left it parked and some little hoodlum pained something on it? like..."Sandra's a whore!"

They'll look ace when done Ross! (Although I'm glad the APC isn't quite so Blue in real life...)

All done now, and the blue has been dulled down quite considerably...

Oooh, looking forward to seeing that 4WD finished. Maybe hunt down a .50 Cal from somewhere to mount on the roof?

I've got one from a Tamyia kit (1:48) but it looks too fine, I think I'll scratch up a chunky one from plastics I've got floating around.

Umm... How about you try the GW Heavy Stubber from the Guard tank kit?

Nah, I love their Ad Mech range. I think they'd fit in realy nicely in a Cyberpunk game. The Servitors especially.
