Making more new stuff from Adventure 2000 and Scenery Start.

Started more messing about with my collection of Matchbox Adventure 2000 Vehicles.
Another Kill-Dozer with added bits. VHS tape innards. Spares box bits and elastic bands where the tracks should be.

Not many of these vehicles come with the original tracks. Thick elastic bands I purchased from ebay stand in for them. Painted black later then lines of gun metal cover this a bit. Not perfectly but it will do for me.

More work as I think of it will be done to these.

Again I had to saw through the back of the canopy on this model. They always seem to have the drivers canopy distorted as if someone has stepped on them. Thus the rough card at the moment.

 More painting to be done as yet. Just blocked in the main areas. Then decided to stick more bits to the sides.

 Tractor Unit with added Gubbins. Missile launcher was a gonna. So another Low Pressure Gun was added. A co-axial recoilless rifle from Tamiya 1/35th weapon set added as well.

 

These guys are those Screwdriver sets again. I decided to try a different look to the top and bottoms. Top here has some Poundland "You sank my Battleship markers" stuck around it.

 Bottom is here not inverted as I have done before. More Battleship markers filled the holes where the driver bits were stored. Capacitors and other plastic bits glued to its' middle for that complicated look.

Updates as they happen. Or I finish them. Still have to stick these to bases though.

Space Marines from Conquest Magazine. Cos they were cheap!

I don't usually do much with GW figures. But at £1.99 for three figures, three paints and a brush.

I got these.

It has been about 30 years since I painted a space marine.

Other paints from my own collection.

Again I may tweak the paintjob. Lining and such as and when I can be bothered.

Set Dressing. Matchbox Hot Wheel Trailers. Bulk Head Doors.

I got these "Speed Trap" Matchbox trailers from Poundland.
Repaint the mainly white and silver trailer in a more grubby looking military green.
Used Tamiya Smoke X-19 to wash over the chrome silver. Gives a nice oily look.

Left before. Right After. Also applied an old Decal Number to the painted one.

 The Backs. I just painted over the stickers. They were a bit to well attached. Didn't really want to scratch them off.

 Bulkhead door. A piece of Triang/Hornby bridge support left over from my tables. This one was to tall to make a believable table on its' side. But attach a drinks carton plastic close cap. A small plastic police light from a knackered cheap car and a bit of spring motor on the upper left. We have a Solid Door!

Still got a few more of these to randomly decorate. Never have to many doors!
