After the game he gave it to me to repair and rebuild, as he knew I'd use it. Embarrassingly, the truck sat in various boxes and storage locations pretty much ever since. Until now!
In a few weeks time I'll be joining in a big multiplayer Necromunda game with vehicles at Bootleg Bring Out Your Lead. I plan to bring along my scavvy gang and needed another vehicle to mount them in, so I dug out Jason's old damaged truck and spent the last couple of evenings repairing and repainting it.
Here's the truck with its brand new paintjob, replacement wheel, repaired mudguard and re-attached rear section:
Jason's original paintjob was also grey. I repainted the truck a darker shade then added plenty of rust, weathering and graffiti.
| I also added the '23' decals to the side and front of the truck... |

I'm sure I'll be able to get plenty of scavvy fighters into the back of this thing!
Genial trabajo.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteVery nice rehab on an oldie. Where'd you find the wheels?
ReplyDeleteThanks Dai. I'm pretty sure the wheels are from an ork battlewagon.
DeleteThat's cool - I really like the weathering. Is it a scratch build?
ReplyDeleteThanks Toby! I'm not 100% sure on everything as it wasn't my build, but I think it's an ork Battlewagon chassis with a scratchbuilt tipper rear. The engine is resin - possibly from FW(?) and the cab is from a plastic kits with added plasticard elements. The mudguards are definitely IG tank tread guards though!!
DeleteBrilliant - and only 7 or 8 years to get it painted...seems very fast to me!
ReplyDelete😄 I guess I painted it faster than I painted the scavvies!
