For the wargamer using 28mm figures in their historical gaming this generic model of a typical 1940's American pick up truck is just one of my range of 1:56 scale resin cast pieces that are designed to help you create all sorts of interesting scenarios in your tabletop gaming. Whether terrain, building, vehicle or detail accessory you are sure to find lots of unique pieces in this collection of scale miniatures. As a keen gamer myself, I understand the importance of accuracy and realism in models for historical wargaming plus the need for speed from purchase to table top. I have tried to make as many of my models as I can requiring no assembly. Some do, but I have tried to keep the parts to as few pieces as possible. All are supplied unpainted giving you the opportunity to personalise it with a paint scheme that fits your own game's era and theatre. The final look is up to you. Also have a look at the 1:48 scale section for items that fit better with larger figures.

"To achieve a similar finish to this 1:56 scale model of a 1940s American pick-up truck, I started with a base coat of acrylic paint, making sure to get even coverage to bring out the intricate details. I then used a selection of washes to accentuate the shadows and create an aged effect, giving the vehicle character and a sense of history. Dry brushing was essential to highlight the edges and create a worn metallic look. The wooden bed was painted with a lighter colour and then treated with a wash to simulate wood grain. " - Stuart
