Trash Truck and Lilac

The tactical trash truck of the Soviet Union.

I have been painting and converting many Cold War era Soviet Vehicles.

The trash truck door opens.  Exciting play for kids everywhere.

I had a bunch of the trash trucks, and I pulled the bin off of one of them, added a bit of styrene to make a flat bed truck and painted lilac color.

Batman 66 Villain Louie the Lilac, Milton Berle, had one in his story arc on the TV show.

BTR-60

Roskopf BTR-60.

It is the open early top version.

The main machine gun is the same one Roskopf uses on all their Russian vehicles.  Which I like since they are supposed to be the same gun.  I think Roco makes 20 different .50 caliber M2 machine guns.

Interior detail is limited but good enough.

The bottom is nicely detailed, which is rather strange I think.

Nice comfy seating for the crew.
 

Why Would I Want Scaffolding?

Movie crews use scaffolds all the time.

So more than just construction workers.

But also TV crews too.

Most of my wargames and many of my set ups have media in them.

Help the morale of the troops if they know mom is back home watching.

This is about 6 inches tall.

Its all plastic and pretty sturdy.

Lights on the side and from above to light the scene.

Big heavy camera and boom microphone.

Camera crew from LOD Enterprises.  

Adventure figures from Elastowit, in Ukraine.
 

Scaffold

I got this scaffold on Amazon a while ago.

It is a really nice kit.

Made in Japan by a company I never heard of before.

It makes a nice scaffold.

It is about 1/32nd scale.  Its a two pack and they stack or fit side by side.
