John Lambert shows us his latest Gaslands build<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019d always wanted to build a chrome Monster Truck after I\u2019d seen \u2018Fury Road\u2019 so this is how I did it. The build also coincides with the Gaslands TX2 supplement which includes details of new weapons.

Truck body<\/strong>
\nFirstly, I drilled out the rivets on the Pickup Truck to separate the components. The bonnet air inlet on the truck is a bit naff so this was removed and replaced with a resin part. I added mesh for the windows and windscreen and built a weapon mount from plastic tubing and plastic strapping. I put it all back together, sprayed with Humbrol chrome and dry brushed Burnt Sienna as rust. Job done.<\/p>\n

Chassis<\/strong>
\nI drilled out rivets to separate the body and cut down the chassis to the top of the springs and checked the fit. I toned down the garish chrome on the original, sprayed the suspension parts chrome and black washed over to pick out the detail on the springs which is really good.<\/p>\n

Harpoon Gun<\/strong>
\nI wanted this to be like an old whaling gun. I built it from plastic rod, tube and plastic card. I added a gunner and a 28mm wire spear cut down made an ideal. I painted the harpoon dark grey and dry brushed gunmetal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
