From ChrisW: Transports and Statues [160 points]

So, this may well be my penultimate post of this years challenge, I think I may still have some fuel in the tank to finish off a few small tasks (and complete the directors chair challenge) Really found the end game of this years challenge far tougher than last years challenge. I think a large part of that was due to my vacation which really disrupted my focus. 

At any rate I dug out some old vehicles this week, half of which are done and are in this post. I also painted up two statues that I bought while on vacation, making them some of the quickest turn around miniatures in my collection!

 Two statues (ready to be animated!)

These are by Reaper and stand 60mm tall without the plinth. They were primed black, then layered up with many different shades of grey/off white. I think they will be useful in Pulp games and of course pair up nicely with my Greek stuff.

The vehicles [3 flat bead trucks/1 car for Pulp adventures]

The blue truck is a toy, maybe slightly over size. It is a 'traction' toy but with its wheels glued to save my figures from being run over by crazy players. The other three vehicles are by Blue Moon miniatures and are a combination of resin bodies with metal add-ons such as lights flat bed, wheels.

Back of beyond vehicles [2 transports, 1 AC]

The two trucks are toy trucks that I got cheap from a flea market. With these done I now have 4 painted with one last one to complete. Typically I use them for my British forces serving abroad. The armoured car is destined for China, I think it is the 1st Corp model.

Great looking vehicles, they are all fairly ubiquitous designs, so you should be able to get a load of use out of them. Well done getting the statues finished on such a short time scale, I think most gamers struggle to get things done in the same year they purchase them, let alone the same month.
