I have a small gang of raiders as a project on the go (among too many others and not enough time). This is the home of the boss of the 'Sand Tigerz', Khan.

and a couple of pics of 'Old Faithful', the community defence gun that the Sand Tigerz built their camp around, having 'modified' it to work for them.

All the small detail bring it to life. Fantastic work! Great painting too! :-*
-
rreally nice work there....
-
More excellent stuff!
Any chance of a complete 'world' pic with all of your desert based scenery in? You have a real knack for bringing the pieces to life with the additions of little details.

Lovely!
The stencilled Khan's logo looks great!
-
ummm... lovely!
-
Very impressive and evocative. Keep 'em coming :)

A few shots of Sand Tigerz bits.

The graffiti on the trailer - is that freehand, or did you use stencils/decals?
-
This all looks very believable - not over done a bit.
Love it - great work.
-
Impressive work, that. I love the piles of stuff. How did you do yours? ARe those pices that you got premade like that, or scratched together?
-
Outstanding work. Very well thought out.
-
This is what I call perfection in modeling! I am most impressed and want to copy some of those...
-
A step-by-step guide to your desert table, perhaps? :)
Very nice, that one. (And yes, the scenery is great - and I would still really like to know the materials and colours used for the table).
-
This is amazing stuff. You have a real talent for the weathering and rust effects. I too would like to know how you do it.
-
wow!
amazing!
where is the 120mm gun to fit the ammo? ;)
-
That is just great!
-
I second Argonor's request - some sort of step-by-step, or at least a brief description, of what went in to these brilliant pieces, and how you went about putting it all together (and painting it too - the weathering is fantastic!)
-
The stencils are a combination of hand-painted stuff and self made decals/waterslide transfers. You can buy 'print-your-own' decal paper on ebay or from hobby shops and it seems to work with most printers. Use the link below to get some great Stencil fonts (also check out the Grafitti).

Do a word doc with the words you want then print that onto the decal paper. Apply the paper then cover the whole area with a couple of coats of varnish to hide the edges. Easy. Signs are even easier. Copy photos/graphics of signs from the net, paste the pics onto a word doc then print on normal paper. Cut out with a scalpel, varnish the target then the sign. Although they stand a little proud of the surface it doesn't look too odd, as most signs are plastic/metal and attached, not painted on, in reality.
For those who have asked for a tutorial on weathering, I'll try and do one with a Sand Tigerz vehicle I have on the go at the moment. It'll take me a week or tow to finish and post it.
As for the 'props' mostly they are made from 1/48 scale vehicle stowage packs. I have a bits box which is over-flowing so I'll try and show a little more of it. Many of the photos thus far have been a bit hurried. The piles of stuff with covers over are just bodghed together and the covers are made from material soaked in PVA glue and left to dry. Very simple to do.
Many thanks for the encouragement.

Really nice mate. I take it there are a few resin bits from Kerry over at snapdragon, shame he's retired all of that stuff now, great pieces.
