Whoa! That's a great start!  What scale are those? 20mm?

Wish they still made them. Awesome background. Some of Blanche's best artwork too.

I sold everything you see pictured in the DM gallery and here.  :'(  Moment of weakness when faced w/ the slow death of Warlands. Bad support, kinda crap minis, and a not-much fun game killed it for me , so I moved on. Sold my DF lot to fund some other project.

Fast Forward to 2014, and the Mad Max: Fury Road trailer! :o :D :-*   Went hog-wild, got a ton of minis, the actual DF boxed set, White Line Fever, the WD articles (all post-free download that GW killed...  >:(), the whole shebang. Nearly complete on the minis, so it is time to paint!

Also driven to madness by TooBooCoo and his DF project, and his introducing me to the Outrider game, and its Kickstarter. Printed up the free rules, liked what I saw, and pledged, unfortunately after the Legendary levels were already gone, but still big!

After all my dark Ages painting, I'm looking forward to a big change. Converting the cars MAY just be the most fun I've ever had w/ miniatures...

This is the lot I've chosen for the "It's Alive!" project. I'll take decent pics of the finished car and pedestrian a bit later to show what the goals are. One other car w/ driver is done, but not the matching ped, so that will wait.

 Another driver on the way, and one still to be hunted down! Anyone have:

that they could let go? LAST driver I need!

Cars subject to change as I mindlessly acquire more... ::)

Here is the first of 14 pairs of car+driver and matching pedestrian for the project. The Biz, Renegade Op, and his ride, the BizNiz:




Next, GG Allin, one of the founders of the Allin/Ballard/Thirwell Agency, a Sanctioned Ops unit operating out of the BUFF/HRST/MORE PZ:



And, not part of the Its Alive, but a crucial part of my DF world, JG Thirwell, GG's partner and Sanctioned Op:


Can you tell I'm enjoying myself? ;)

Next up, the awful mess made when you dismember a Matchbox car! Stay Tuned!

The BizNiz is Matchbox, the other 2 are Hot Wheels. Minimal conversions on all of these, mostly tinkering w details and repainting. And guns! :)

Very effective. That gives me ideas, I'll have to look for these Dark Future rules.

Great colors and detailing. It's making me want to obtain some of the figures :)
