I really dig the Scheich stuff for the Adventure Team. The scale is close enough but they are designed for preformed figures so joes don't fit. I started by removing the seats then lowering and moving them back about 1/4 inch. Now all the Adventure team members fit in both of them.

Here is the Airplane:

Plenty of cargo space in this

Easy access

Now the Cargo Truck. I totally removed the seats then added a flat styrene plastic sheet to cover the seat holes. I modified some Star Trek seats from the fodder box and painted and glued them in again about a 1/4 back.

The truck also has drop sides for easy load

It is also a 4x4 with a working suspension

Thanks guy's

Yes it is, it reminds me of a Piper Cub, or an American Champion Citabria which suits the African Savanna theme.

Those are both really cool looking vehicles. I especially like that truck, I keep forgetting to look for one.

I like it, both of them. I'll have to add these vehicles to the possible buy list.

Very nice.

I like the mods.

How expensive are these items? I haven't really looked at them before.

you are DA MAN!!! Seriously, thanks for posting a "how to" and awesome pictures! you have made that Schleich Truck the way it should have been, for 3 3/4" figures. I'm so glad I didn't donate my dozens of Star Trek seats.

forgot to add that I always thought that plane was cool but it couldn't fit Joes but hey you also did a spectacular job with it. I wish I had bought the darn plane when I saw it at Toysrus. I'll have to go out on the hunt again!
