Unimogs

[Tinman]

Here are a few Unimogs I'm working on. The first one is a Three Mile Island special with the logo of huge and well known company on the truck and trailer. The warning signs on the trailer are loud and clear. I can still remember the guys with the Halliburton hard hats (outside the gates of the Three Mile Island power plant) telling the press that "everything is under control and there is no need to worry." Meanwhile, back at the NRC, experts were worried sick, wanting to evacuate the area and trying to calculate just how bad the reactor core melt down would be.

The trusty Halliburton team in the Unimog is carting off the radioactive waste of an "event" (as they are called). Home made decals grace the truck and trailer. Trailer is made from part of another well known Matchbox model with a lead lined "Cask" of my own creation.






This next Unimog is going to be another of my ESSO EXPLORATION trucks. This one is riding on some serious off-road tires and red wheel hubs. The home made ESSO and Exploration decals are waiting to be applied and I'm still detailing the load for the bed.




The Police have enlisted this last Unimog for some heavy duty police work. The unit sports a single blue dome light (home made) and some home made police decals with a very strong tribute to the artwork of Lesney's police car decals. I've only just decided on silver wheel hubs for this model and I'm still considering a possible horse trailer (in matching logo and colors) to hitch up behind the the Cop's Unimog. Another option is a Bomb Squad vehicle.

Very nice in Haliburton white - thats a company name known around the world for owning #43 and investing their Iraq war profits into forming the fracking boom . Not to forget their role as the negligent subcontractor in the Deepwater Horizon disaster that BP picked up the tab for...........
European police have scoops on their Unimogs for clearing rioter´s obstructions - crew cab is optional but there must be a Lesney scoop donor to make one of these?

Blue light is a simple resin casting.

Tin, is that a Halliburton logo? I used to work for them.

You know it is ... I'm praying I don't end up in a massive Gary Yandoli type lawsuit.

They're too busy laying off people at the moment.

Can you make a Halliburdon truck pumping toxic chemicals down a frack well, into the water table near a small town in Pennsylvania.

Would be interested in a few of the police beacons. I have a couple of the Mercury police wagons to redo.

Unimogs were one of my favorites as a kid, but I never liked the different colors I found them in. These are exceptional! Here's my .49 cents for one! lol
