Gaslands Trucks

 Over the next few days, I'll be posting some 1/64 scale vehicles for Gaslands. These were actually completely painted last year, all that was left was the weathering, but with COVID and the move, they didn't get finished until now. Better late than never. 

I really just wanted a plain paint scheme that I could quickly complete in a week or two, so I went with plain black with dark grey "damage" and some various accent colors. The most involved painting was doing the gem effect on the armored truck below. For decals, I just used whatever was at hand and looked good. Unfortunately, since many of the decal sheets were old, there was a lot of silvering throughout. Sometimes that just happens. Weathering was pretty straightforward - some passes with the airbrush over lower chassis for dust and some application of Vallejo mud.

Group shot to start with:


Matchbox excavator truck with the excavator removed and replaced with a Katyusha MRL



Matchbox armoured truck with a M113 flamethrower turret added




Matchbox Land Rover with an M113 minigun turret added



An incredibly old Hot Wheels Jeepster (from when I was a kid) with a ram and mortar 




Greenlight flatbed truck with stowage and armor plating
