The "Red Markets" RPG I'm playing in is set in a Zombie Apocalypse, so that's scifi enough for me.
A couple weeks ago the GM asked me if I could "whip up" a semi towing a flatbed for one of our upcoming "jobs", like I had thrown together the Russkie choppers for Night's Black Agents a couple years ago. I toyed with getting a toy or carboard model to use instead but the toys near 28mm scale (arguably 1:56 I think) aren't cheap and I couldn't find anything at Sarissa or the like.
So I limited myself to cardboard, paper, balsa, googly eyes, and sprue scraps, and got to scratching. I found a decent set of line drawings for a longnose semi and roughly scaled them appropriately. Then I went to work.
Everything's by eye - the only times I used a ruler were for a straight-edge fold or cut. Was super-fun. I was going to do another layer of detailing to sort of "Mad Max" it out, but then I remembered that this is a limited-session prop to put 28mm figs on and is going to be pawed by aging gaming gorillas for a couple of nights.
I'll hit it with a gray prime job and then maybe paint some other stuff. Maybe.
