Dustin Dias
Wellsburg, West Virginia
Dustin added a scratchbuilt interior door panel, some seat belts, and a water tank in the back of this AK Interactive 1/35 scale M1008 troop carrier converted into a derelict civilian brush-fire truck. For the beaten and aged appearance, he painted with Ammo acrylics, artist oils, and enamels. Of course, there’s a lot of pigment dust and rust. The base is made of XPS foam coated with mud and soil groundcover products. Dustin completed the look with scale cinder blocks, old traffic cones, a pallet, and rusty chain.
