Description
Well here is the heavy road train tractor from the apocalyptic waste lands. I think it is finished. A few additions and subtractions from the earlier wip posts.
Stripped off the original wheels and tires on the tractor, just looked too wimpy. Replaced them with my go to "semi tractor/trailer tire";over sized car tires from cheap dollar store toys. They work out alright for a lot of mods. I will post a picture of the type I mean.
Added the raised runway and a rear fighting/ flamethrower tower. Also a front auto cannon turret on top of the cab, and 3 more .50 cal mgs in the super structure over the driver's cab.
Paint scheme is pretty mono-tone being overall black as it is. I tried to add little bits of color hear and there to off-set the blandness; yellow running lights, bright green lance grenades, and chromed exhausts.
There is a six man crew at various stations on the rig. I usually don't add figures to my hot wheels/ matchbox conversions, but I thought this one needed some. Mostly 1/72 German ww2 vinyl/plastic figs with a little conversion work. Man I really hate those as they are the worst type to work on and paint, but was all I had that was in scale. I really need to get some better figs to work on,as I would use them much more often. Oh well...
I am gonna base this and I am thinking of adding a couple of out riders to go with it.
