Gaslands' Garage
« on: December 19, 2017, 08:07:09 PM »
Don't want to hijack anyone else's thread so here's a place to post pictures of your Gasland conversions.  I'm looking for inspiration.

I've only got two cars completed so far, one inspired by the classic Mad Max Interceptor (with added flames).



And a pick up truck with a similar paint scheme and swappable weapons held on with magnets.

Those are awesome,the pick up really gives out a Dark future style vibe to it.

This is The Whaler which I did for another game, but will be using it for Gaslands as soon as it arrives:

Nice stuff.

I like the last vehicle, though it needs to avoid low bridges.

Two more cars finished.  These ones have magnetised weapons and/or rams and can be configured differently.

Matchbox  MB941 Jungle Crawler (which can be found in several variants) with added guns and wire mesh to replace the windows.  It's got magnets in place on the roof and underneath the front and rear ends.  I'll be working on weapons and a ram to fit.  Though you can never go far wrong with a Mini-gun and a turret with a flamer could be good.  (the turret comes from a Plastic Soldier Company 15mm T34, you get two for every tank).

A Matchbox MB958 Roar By Four with a magnetic roof and mesh added. I still need to make some more swappable weapons to fit the roof mount.

I haven't heard of Gaslands, but armed racers I have.
Here's some of them.

I've put a bar on the front of the Jungle Crawler and painted up a Mercedes estate car.

And a couple of vans with turrets.    At 18 points a flamethrower in a turret is rather expensive for a three shot weapon, but it follows the rules of cool and carnage.

These are great!  What are you guys using for the mesh on the windows and windshield?

Can't remember exactly where I got mine, but stuff like this:

And here's a tank-like vehicle:



And an AAR:
