Good 1:18th scale truck?

[Dropshipbob]

I need a good, not overly muscled truck in our scale. I'm aware of the Tree House Kids vehicles, but they stand too high and are exaggerated.

I know of Shleich, but there's are not 1:18th.

I just need a simple, run of the mill looking truck and that doesn't cost an arm and a leg...any suggestions?

P.S. I'm going to turn it into a technical.

 

[XOC2008]

I dunno, the one Fled posted looks pretty close to 1:18th

 

[Meddatron]

What about the Duck Dynasty truck at Walmart

 

[Meddatron]

Might be too jacked up too. There is a pickup truck too.

But check into the rest of Adventure Wheels. They may have one in the line.

 

[Meddatron]

here you go, here is the truck

 

[Dropshipbob]

Yeah, all of the Bass Pro/Duck Dynasty=Tree House Kids, all are jacked up and otherwise exaggerated.

The truck Fled posted is Schleich and therefore around 1:16th scale.

Here are a couple of options but not that cheap.

Search Results - Diecast Hobby USA - Diecast Cars & Accessories

Hobby Lobby has some trucks, but you'd need a figure to take with you to judge if the scale would work.

It seems like all the diecast trucks are Fords. My intense dislike of fords aside, they just don't strike me as good technicals. I'd kill for some manufacturer to make a 1980-something 4x4 Toyota pickup... both because I had an '80 and a '91 back in the day, and because they'd make the best terrorist trucks ever. I'd even be inspired to buy an airbrush and learn how to make stuff look rusty/dirty.

Yeah you have to search hard to find any decent Die Cast 1:18 trucks, I've looked for a while with minimal success. There are a few good ones but they're usually pricey.

Is somethign like this a little too jacked?

Might find something there.

Here's the new Schleich pickup truck. It is generic, won't find ford or chevy markings and seems like the best thing out there at the moment. It's only $22 shipped from Walmart or Amazon. Toys R Us doesn't carry it. Ignore the tank photo that slipped in there.

 

[The Ewokhunter]

wow, that is a pretty nice technical truck from the choices we have. Pretty cheap too. Wouldn't hurt the wallet doing many mods to it.

I've been partial to that CORPS! truck in the background of the shots.. I have a beat up one from years ago.

If we're honest that's what he really wants if he's going for a technical. Unfortunately I hear they're rare and expensive these days. One on FleaBay for $60.

 

[NSA]

Yeah, I see them on eBay occasionally for decent money, but you can find them for cheaper if people list them wrong etc. Most don't even know what it is other than 'army truck'.

 

[K-Tiger]

They used that mold in one of their civilian lines, too. Want to say it was red.

Here are the Schleich Bronco truck Fled used to build a technical, the new Schleich pickup, and the Landard 'Corp' Toyota pickup...

 

[azslogan]

More Corp...

Thanks for all those comparison pics!

The Toyota Hilux!

The Corps! Makes/made one

I got one,bought it at the fleamarket for $3. I go back to bama this weekend,I'll look for it. If I can find it,I'll pass it on to ya if you pay shipping...that's if I can find it,I haven't seen it in a while.

It'll need painted tho. Kinda ruff..

 

[NSA]

I wonder how cool those could be made up with some work.

 

[azslogan]

Here's one board member sgcaper turned into a technical...

 

[NSA]

Looks good besides the ammo feed issue. Could use more weathering.

 

[Dropshipbob]

Thanks for all those comparison pics!

Yes, thank you VERY much! That red Schleich truck actually looks pretty good!

Was that offer directed to Nacho, or me?

I've been looking at old-school (Tim Mee toys) plastic vehicles on eBay today. Not extremely detailed but cheaper than some avenues.

Way too small.

I'd be prepared to get a truck and wheels from different sources.

 

[Tria]

thanks for all the pics! I am looking for tha corps truck for ages! If anyone has one to sell, I d be happy to buy it

 

[Darkseid83]

What about these

[Joerhyno]

DOH.. I think I had one of those CORPs ones and gave it away a few years ago to this guy who bought a bunch of junker vehicles.

 

[Joerhyno]

nevermind, mine was the TONKA ones...

My reply won't help much, but - try to build one!

 

[Darkseid83]

The mxs trucks I posted a link for I think would work nicely for a technical

Hmmm...that's a pretty nice option.

Thanks, but I think that's a bit outside of my skill set.

Yeah, those aren't too bad...a bit on the steroid side, but my options are slim.

 

[Darkseid83]

They may appear that way in the pics, but in person they're not so bad, I guess similar to a F150 Raptor if you're familiar with that.

 

[Dropshipbob]

Not familiar with it per-se, but a quick google search set me straight.

That's a link to someone who used the MXS truck as a Nok technical, maybe that will help with scale of it.

Burder make a Land Rover that works well with modern figures. They have two versions one with a roof and one thats a truck. Here is the one I have with the roof.

[the_Archivist]

I ran across this picture I had and remembered this thread. I don't know is you still need a truck or not but there was one in a cheap K-mart construction playset. It looks a little small though. I have one somewhere. If I find it I'll post a pic here.
