Since this is for 1/87 vehicles, I wanted to share a little something.
I recently purchased one of those Herpa/promotex fuel and lube trucks at a LHS. I paid just under $30 and I see them for much more than that on eBay and such.
Since it was bought for kitbashing, the deconstruction began. Given that its a "custom" in house kitbash already, its cheaply made, the cabs don't look right, and its all tacked together with glue.
Now, I'm not complaining, nor am I upset at the quality, but the big thing to me, was once I removed the under body mounted tool boxes, I couldn't believe my eyes. That's right! The two tool boxes are/were Lego bricks. The two connectors are chopped off (bottom of box) and the open part (top portion) is glued to the underside of the body.
I was a bit surprised, and intrigued. Using these bricks as cabinets is a great idea. It sure beats paying $$$ for something you've planned to chop up, or at the least, trying hard as hell to cut perfect and glue 90 degree angles out of sheet styrene.
In thoughts gentlemen?
