Re: Freedom - Meng Pickup Dio

Thanks guys! I'm loving this build. Just might have to get the other MENG pickup sometime.

Base. I have the idea. Streets of Tripoli. Guys peeking around the corner of a wall. Graffiti on the walls. Small and simple.

Haven't started it yet though. Gonna make it out of high density foam.

Hey Scott that thing is looking really sweet!!! You should def do another Meng truck. If you do another one it could be a burn out truck, maybe a anti aircraft gun or something in the back of it.

Re: Freedom - Meng Pickup Dio

I'd get the one with the big gun for sure.

Re: Freedom - Meng Pickup Dio

Nice job, Scott. You definitely have it looking like a third world "hoopty". Good paint job
on the Insurgent. Can't wait to see the finished scene. Bill

Thanks guys!

Over the past day or so I've been base painting most of the stowage, guns etc... The back rack is now attached as are the mud flaps, interior debris/garbage, PE for the tail gate etc...

Here are some pics, stuff just piled up for these photos. Time to turn my attention to the groundwork / base. Once that's built and painted I'll weather everything last. I'm only going to use the two figures pictured. The other guys are simply to static when compared to these guys. Also, all of this stowage 'stuff' might not make the final cut...we'll see.

Thank you gentlemen. Much appreciated.

Trying to work out the base. Think streets of Tripoli. The base is 6"x9". Wall scales to 8' tall. Knee wall scales to 3'. Sidewalk, curb, 'pillars'.

Here are some pics. Just starting into this and I'll take all the advice I can get. Comments, critique, whatever. Not sure yet about this. Thanks!
