Description

After building some obviously military 25/28mm scale vehicles from scratch I decided to move on to something that could equally well be a civilian vehicle usable in sci-fi RPGs and wargames.

Again I started with a sketch of what I was looking for and then made basic card prototypes of the cores for both 4 and 6 wheeled versions before committing to making them out of plasticard. The cores were then detailed according to their role and painted.

Painted examples in right hand column:

Top row - Three different basic civilian types. 4 and 6 wheeled plus an 8 wheeled flat bed transport.

Second row - A scientific research version with a built in laboratory trailer and a turreted internal security version for paramilitary forces.

Third row - An improvised fighting vehicle for use by mercenaries (or RPG PC groups) who do not have access to true military vehicles.

Bottom row - Two militarised versions for use as support vehicles. A 4 wheeled version with a machine gun and also a 6 wheeled version with a turret.

I have put instructions for making these (going as far as the basic core), along with templates on my website.
