Sand Gecko - Dune BuggyDesigned by Sirrob01

The Sand Gecko was designed to be used with Onemonk's ( www.onemonk.com ) Terra Force Soldiers or Slick's ( www.slicksminiatures.com ) NCC Troopers but use i t with whatever you like :).You'll need access to the usual tools to build the model, Craft knife, glue, metal ruler, tweezers etc. I've included a Craf trobo GSD cut ting file for those who have one. If possible i t's best to cut out and edge all components before assembling them. The actual dune buggy pdf is a layered PDF so you'll need acrobat 6 or higher to view the PDF correctly. There are several different ways to assemble the buggy, below are photos of two possible completed configurations.

Included Gunner and Driver are Modifications of Onemonk's Terra Force marines see www.Onemonk.com for Onemonk's full Terra Force range.Note – if building the 15mm version, the 15mm test version was built using 150gsm paper for body/wheels/rollcage the remaining components where built from 100gsm paper, GoodLuck.
