In Europe, people traditionally gave servants and tradespeople presents in "present boxes" on the day after Christmas, in a custom dating back since the middle ages...

Today, we are showing our TS1 plastic Studebaker US6 and BM13 sprues!

Why, thank-you - just what I wanted  ;)

Looks lovely.  I particularly like the detail on the canopy - very nice. 

Is the driver the first of your 'new generation' figures?

Test-fitting the assembly for the TS1 Studebaker US6 plastic... Will probably paint it up for display afterwards!

Not really, it is a test sculpt we used, but not an actual production version.  Not much time to squeeze a new sculpt into this project.

Our in-house artist, Kent Lee, started paint job on the TS1 plastic.
Test fit seems okay, some parts still required minor changes and corrections, but overall results are satisfactory.
Will post more finished pics soon!









Enjoy!

Good to see it coming together.  The rockets and launcher rails look really good.

That looks fantastic . I think with a little kit bashing I could probably make cargo / rocket beds interchangeable  .  :) Always good to have a duel purpose vehicle in Bolt Action

The cab with the blast shields made me wonder about a Mad Max style conversion.
