tiking Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) Seems I have not posted this build here. So here it is. This is an Italeri 4 wheel drive 109" LWB kit I bought on Ebay. I am not completely finished with this kit yet. I still have many extra accessories to add, which I'm waiting on. I call this little vignette is called 'Everything but the kitchen sink'. The African driver is proud of how he managed to pack his entire belongings in one go. The idea comes from looking at many pictures of various overloaded vehicles from around the world. Some more rediculous than others. I am adding another figure of a guy taking a pic of the African driver and his personal belongings. Will post pictures when I've completed this project. The figure is one of my first try at building a decent figure so please go easy. Edited May 16, 2012 by tiking
SuperStockAndy Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 That is AMAZING!!! What did you use for the black tarp?
tiking Posted May 26, 2011 Author Posted May 26, 2011 That is AMAZING!!! What did you use for the black tarp? A plastic material I took from my job, that was used to cover some 4x4's It just looked right.
Nick W. Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 That would make a great episode for hoarding lol! I love the concept, it looks so real!
ChrisR Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Nice model. As we live in Africa we do sometimes see vehicles overloaded like this but also the perils thereof.
tiking Posted May 27, 2011 Author Posted May 27, 2011 Thanks guys. Yep it is amazing what is possible. If you do a search for overloaded vehicles you will be surprise at some of the things you will see.
tiking Posted May 27, 2011 Author Posted May 27, 2011 Thanks. it is amazing to see what can be achieved in the real world
RodneyBad Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 WOW!! Maybe that guy should have thought about getting a trailer Nice over loading and detail work. Really looks great. But how did he get the TV up there? I know those Tube TVs weigh a ton.
tiking Posted May 28, 2011 Author Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) But how did he get the TV up there? I know those Tube TVs weigh a ton. Ha Ha...I think that's the least of his problems. Check these pics out and you can ask the same question Edited May 28, 2011 by tiking
