The PKZ-2 tender vehicle in the previous post is one of the Matchbox Models of Yesteryear series. These can be purchased cheaply (if you’re patient) on E-Bay. Bought several for the Back of Beyond Campaign, one of which is shown below.
The problem is that the series is not in a consistent scale. There are a wide variety of vehicles, in a wide variety of scales. This page summarizes them by model number, name and scale. So what scale matches up best with 25/28mm figures? This page from The Miniatures Page really helped.
Once purchased and primed, I sprayed the vehicles a military green, and then just went crazy with brown and green dry brushing. Wood blocks and barrels purchased at Hobby Lobby and mounted on bases – pallets – are cargo used either in vehicles, or on the ground as part of a supply dump. Machine gun and cannons purchased from Pulp Figures (Bob Murch) mounted as required.
