I finally got around to starting on my True Heroes Dragon Wagon conversion. I am setting out to see how much of this I can do with found aka free stuff. The styrene sheet I am using is from hotel key cards and gift cards. The styrene bits and copper tube are leftovers from other projects. I have some cool chain left over from plumbing repairs and I plan on scratching new headlights out of some pen parts and syringe plungers for the lenses. I made the cover over the hatch in front of the turret out of a sheet magnet so I can remove it for figure placement. It will have a camo net strapped over it. Although under scale, I think this can look pretty cool with some detail work and a nice paint job.

Almost anything can look good with a lot of detail and a great paint app.
I'm anxious to see the outcome.

What is the fascination with this vehicle? I hear a few of you talking about it, and this is like the 2nd custom of it. Isn't it just a tractor trailer without the trailer?

It's a pretty neat vehicle. They're huge too, I think they have one at the transpo museum at Ft Eustis, VA. It's probably the coolest thing you're going to see in the way of logistics vehicles.

When I was in the Army we made fun of the maintenance guys, but if they were driving one of these, things may have been different.

When I was with 4th LSB (Landing/logistics support), there were a few grease monkeys that said this was the best thing to drive. It could tow or lift just about anything. I had an arty Maj tell me that he's seen them tow artillery that were more than partially submerged in Iraqi mud. If you've ever seen Iraq in the rainy season, you'll know what a bitch that shit is.
