You could glue anything that will attach to the figures arm onto the stand. I glued it on at this angle by putting the shield and figure in the desired pose and matching up the arm and the attachment. The weathering on the front of the red sigil shield was done with a little flathead screwdriver. I painted in the scratches with silver after the base coat, then apply the top coat and finally a little more silver in the scratches. The only red I have right now is a red fine point Sharpie. I think it looks ok. A little drybrush of silver around the edges and that's the weathering. __________________ thinktankproduction.com

After completely dismantling, stripping and repositioning of that back wall with hot glue, it was all washed, primer painted and then painted again. Added parts are hotglued in place. from another angle all interior parts were painted detailed and weathered. The very top part of the seats were cut off to make them look more a match to the figures. The door interior is from a 1/18 Chrysler 300. a closeup of the dashboard __________________ thinktankproduction.com

This stuff is great. After the Milliput dries, you can sand it, cut it, whatever and then paint over it. __________________ thinktankproduction.com

The "fabric" is attached with hot glue. The back seat installed. Unfortunately, once I sealed everything up, its hard to get a shot of the interior without taking it apart again. __________________ thinktankproduction.com

This material is shelving liner from the housewares department. a shot of the headliner in place, glued down, then cut out with an exacto to the fit of the van. . __________________ thinktankproduction.com
