Although I don't believe it can be obtained from WorldWorks any more, the set is still available from paizo.com: http://paizo.com/products/btpy8600?Mayhem-Industrial .<br /><br />Note that the original kit has a variety of tractor units and container trailers. The flatbed and tanker trailers are my own conversions - but you could do something similar for yourself.Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-60230759654864522016-07-06T22:00:10.661+01:002016-07-06T22:00:10.661+01:00What kit is this ?!?

As they play dead for quite a while now one might get away with it, but I don't want to get you into trouble.<br />The top part would be nice to get me started on a conversion so I'd only have to worry about the texturing. The rest I could manage starting with the undercarriage of the set, like you said, and use your pictures as a guideline.Stefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341534450286370125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-55744858856023299742014-08-11T11:21:38.427+01:002014-08-11T11:21:38.427+01:00Thanks again!

If I built it again then I think I'd pay more attention to getting the curve of the tank more symmetrical. Also I think I'd try to add more texture to it, though that's something I don't feel very competent to do.Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-40415836538507894162014-08-11T11:19:12.912+01:002014-08-11T11:19:12.912+01:00I've looked for a long time for toy trucks tha...I've looked for a long time for toy trucks that would work with 28mm figures. While they do exist, they're hard to find.

However the undercarriage for that model is based on components from WorldWorks so I'd have to get their permission first. As an alternative, I suppose you could just use the flatbed undercarriage from the Mayhem Industrial kit?<br /><br />I'll need to investigate how this might be done.Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-11238444764583042792014-08-11T11:13:12.082+01:002014-08-11T11:13:12.082+01:00Ta, Robert.
