Road Warriors and Freeway Fighters - Preparing for the 7TV Apocalypse
More conversions in progress
The starting point for this ‘wastelands’ conversion was a 1:48 scale Tamiya WW2 German ‘tractor’.
I’m not really used to the detail you get on these scale models (as opposed to the sturdier simpler wargames kits), and to be honest there was a lot I built, including the interior, which was actually not necessary when you see the finished model.
In addition to the 28mm scale resin and metal bits from the Crooked Dice post apocalyptic conversion sets I also raided the bits box for a spare tire (for the bonnet) and used some 1:1 scale car bodywork repair mesh for the windows. I also used the spare ‘hedge cutter’ from the Ork truck I’ve been recently doing similar mods to.
All in all I like how this has turned out. It has a certain Wacky Races crossed with Mad Max type vibe and the scale is pretty spot on for 28mm figures.
