Get Where You Need to Go in the Crooked Dice Van
April 27, 2014 by dracs
Crooked Dice are currently working on a new vehicle to help liven up the games of 7TV, a Transit Van that will be useful to cops, robbers, and maniacal geniuses bent on world domination.
This 7TV vehicle is set to come with white metal tires, as well as a selection of accessories, such as police sirens and fancy Mods wing mirrors, allowing you to mark it out for whatever use you have planned.
I've got to ask, I'm not the only one who sees this and thinks "you were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" right? I wonder if Crooked Dice could make us a set of minis next, because this van is looking very promising.
Is this transit van going to help you accomplish your dastardly 7TV schemes?

Scooby Doo or A-team?
I was thinking Scooby Doo. That would be a perfect reason for me to get this. The kit looks to be quite nice anyway. It can be a freehand painters dream with all those smooth surfaces.
Armorcast do an actual mystery van. Throw in the mystery gang from Hasslefree, a fairground table, some Citadel ghosts and ridiculously huge sandwiches for the players.
Rooby dooby doo!
In their time these old tranis were brilliant to drive.
Thats no way to talk about aging gender confused people…oooo, you meant vans…
White Van Man – road trip superhero
Actually, seeing this reminds me more of the opening sequence from ‘The Professionals’ where Martin Shaw almost came a cropper falling out of a yellow transit van.
Dodgey hairstyles, worse clothes (yes – bellbottoms!) and testosterone laden dialogue.
They were the vehicle of choice for villians back in the 70’s. So given the theme for 7TV. Crooked dice are on to a winner.
I had a yellow one.
They appeared in most TV shows in the 70s from the Sweeney to Quatermass so I agree with huscarle; I can’t see how Crooked Dice could go wrong with this one.
Years ago I made a master mould of a dinky van for a game , I was going to make loads of them and sell them, would have made myself a bit of money as I had some preorders for them but sadly I was discovered, but I would have gotten away with it if it had been for those meddling kids
I’m waiting for the GMC van, myself.
Ok, the Transit is a classic too and I might get one if the price is right.
You’re right, @maxxon. The GMC is the one to wait for, especially in some black paint, red stripe, little red spoiler fin on the back … “I pity the fool!”
Although the Mystery Machine would be fun to paint … but you’d need some killer decals / transfers for all those flowers, 70’s font, etc.
It was said in the 70’s that 95% of all robberies where a vehicle was used a Transit was involved.
A bit of an urban myth I think but just shows how the Transit was viewed in the UK.
