My Custom Dragon Wagon
I finally got around to starting on my True Heroes Dragon Wagon conversion. I am setting out to see how much of this I can do with found aka free stuff. The styrene sheet I am using is from hotel key cards and gift cards. The styrene bits and copper tube are leftovers from other projects. I have some cool chain left over from plumbing repairs and I plan on scratching new headlights out of some pen parts and syringe plungers for the lenses. I made the cover over the hatch in front of the turret out of a sheet magnet so I can remove it for figure placement. It will have a camo net strapped over it. Although under scale, I think this can look pretty cool with some detail work and a nice paint job.

Almost anything can look good with a lot of detail and a great paint app.
I'm anxious to see the outcome.

What is the fascination with this vehicle? I hear a few of you talking about it, and this is like the 2nd custom of it. Isn't it just a tractor trailer without the trailer?

It's a pretty neat vehicle. They're huge too, I think they have one at the transpo museum at Ft Eustis, VA. It's probably the coolest thing you're going to see in the way of logistics vehicles.

When I was in the Army we made fun of the maintenance guys, but if they were driving one of these, things may have been different.
