I was thinking of ordering some of these www.bluemoonmanufacturing.com/view_product.php?product=15ALN-109 to build a kind of Don Laurence Trigan Empire/Storm inspired army. The only problem is there seems to be a decided lack of retro sci fi style vehicles is 15mm. So before buying any new figures I decided to see if I couldn't cobble something together myself.Here's what I came up with? what do you think?   Added a 15mm fig. for size comparrison  And primed   |

@ droffset: It's a Frisk breath mint container which I found empty on the seat next to mine on the train.(goes to show what kind of a pack rat this hobby can turn you into) ;D
I'm thinking of panting her up like a roadster, apple candy red with ivory and gold trim.
For cars I know they first spray on a layer of gold and then red to get a nice shiny effect, I don't have an airbrush so I was wondering would painting it gold and then putting a red glaze on it work? Has anyone tried anything similar?

Like it. Reminds me of Fifth Element and great use of spare parts.

I love that it's open-topped. Your paint scheme idea is perfect.

Made my next trigan vehicle ,a heavy hover tank this time    I'll probably do one more battle sled and call it quits, that will give me 1 heavy and 2 light vehicles together with the 4 jet bikes I ordered from the Scene and the 2 packs of Idirion Legion troopers it should be a fun little force. |
