[Second Hand Gems] I bought a 1/6 Pickup Truck for military figures!!

I ordered this truck from a second hand seller in China, it tooks a month shipping to my house.....This is actually a RC toy cars with somewhat 1/6~1/7 scale plastic truck cover. It is big, I am like holding a 30L size oven....what makes me interested is, the man who sold this had modified the car and "paint or spray" the soil on the car, it looks firm and believable....I can tell he is a craft man....I love this car so much....really good to take out and shooting with figures....

Well it might not suitable for military, but so far this is the best car I can buy around 120 USD++ compared to those professional hummer which is come out around 500 USD....I'd rather buy this toy car....Anyway it has no longer able to control, because the man had to cut out the wires before he can do modify....

Let'me think what I can do with this car and those figure.....

The internal car is ok, although the design was not for figure use, but it still can convince with several angle, which not showing the figure legs are actually sitting the floor, and I have to take off their boots....Else are fine.....

Very nice find! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

The “weathering” on that car is excellent. Very convincing. Cool find. Looking forward to seeing some outdoor shots.

Now that is great looking, expecially the splats.

I agree it looks more like a dirt racing car or something an adventurer would use. But if you want to use it for something military, I think you can still mount a gun in the back for a ragtag mercenary/militia/insurgent style.

Also, Post apocalypse comes to mind.

I'm glad you found and acquired it. I foresee you using it plenty, and it does look great with your figures.

Very nice and perfectly in scale. I've tried buying 1:6 vehicles online before and have always been burnt. Every time they have turned out to be too small. The only ones you can really trust are the overpriced ones from one-sixth retailers.

The dash and console look like they need some paint to pick out the details. Get a toothpick and apply some black and silver paint to the various knobs and controls. Looking forward to seeing some outdoor shots.

Yes, and I am thinking to make a handmade tent on that space too, then those soldier can sit inside and read their books or discuss their things.....

It is so lucky that the size is still good, which the seller told me it might 1/7 scale something.....

YES, I even cannot afford a "proper" bike for them, it just so expensive and their vehicle types are always too narrow, only suitable for WW2 for example...I am now sure that some of the RC toys car can be an alternative too, and they are much cheaper

It looks like a pretty good find to me.

I was looking through a Pinterest link to some Post Apocalyptic Vehicle designs the other day, and noticed that you 4 x 4 would be the perfect starting point for two or three of the vehicles in this link.  At least that's what I would do with it if it were mine (So jealous )
