Bachmann/plasticville has an O-scale windmill.
Can't seem to copy paste a photo link on my tablet. Will do it when I get home.

What a great piece! Too bad the GW zombie heads are a little too large bu they do have great faces.

Yeah, my biggest disappointment was when I realized they were actually larger than the normal heads, but I become less restrictive on what fits with what over the years.  Besides, they were tailor made to use for Ghoul conversions.  :D

And does anyone know how tall an HO windmill is?  I don't really want to do an 18" tall o-scale, but if the HO is just 6" tall, it would look weird...

I am trying to find a good windmill model to add to this, to power the refrigerator.  Any suggestions?

There's this one from Daemonscape…

At 10", it isn't too bloody tall, but we'll see when it gets here...

Looks to me like that's a perfect size for 28mm.

So, I continue doing more bits and bobs for my terrain collection.

The GW fancy walls set works remarkably well for an Enclave enclosure.





And another CD piece - an OLD Armorcast ruined building.  I have been trying to make corner pieces that look like the area may be occupied by scavengers, or as a war zone, so you are stashing things where you can for shelter.





And I found an unused GW wall from the 3rd ed set - still some of the better little pieces they ever produced in my opinion.





And an alien plant from Armorcast, that was soooo old its resin had turned a deep mustard yellow...I actually have two pieces together, with some rocks to break it up a bit.





Nothing spectacular, but I just keep plugging along.  The tendonitis in my elbow makes these things a lot more difficult than it should - can't paint with shooting pains and numb fingers.   :?

Damn, that sounds horrible.  :(

Yeah, it can be.  The physical therapists couldn't do anything, and I have not been able to get in to see the specialist my doc recommended. Years of repetitive labor preceded by years of swinging a sword has taken its toll.  Puts a crimp in my favorite hobby at times.

But nevermind, look at the pretty terrain pieces!   :D

Huh - I may have to save that link for later when I need another one.  Thanks!

And, so, we continue with terrain that is probably older than a third of the posters on LAF...

Old Armorcast Venus Mantrap...




And Friday's postman brought me an early Christmas present.  I thought that the windmill was going to be a kit, and I was wrong.  It comes completely assembled, with no loose parts.  Love that!



And it was just not wasteland ready, so...








And I could hardly have it sitting there not being painted, could I?





I added a few bits - radio, lamp, can of fuel, barrel of whoknowswhat, just too keep it visually interesting.



And now, back to the Grymn, a few survivors, and other projects as well...
