| LANDFILL
(DIE-CAST)
PROJECT #275
CLASSIFICATION: KITBASH
BASE VEHICLE: TONKA DUMP TRUCK
MEDIA APPEARANCE: NONE TO SPEAK OF
"Adventure is found in unlikely places."
Comments: At some point, I decided
that I wanted to expand my G1 die-cast projects beyond the 1984-85 characters,
and started looking at the other toys that had realistic vehicular forms;
the small Autobot Targetmasters seemed like they'd be a lot of fun. Most
Transformer dump trucks are terribly cheatsy in that their truck beds are
usually filled with hidden robot-mode parts, but Landfill is even worse since
the entire center of his cab section is also filled in. I took a chunk
of plastic and carved it down to size and glued it in place; I also filled
in the truck bed with another dump truck bed left over from a previous project.
And, of course, no Targetmaster is complete without his weapons. |
