For UK and European zedders I suggest you go with Ainsty casting and Fenris Games for all your urban scenic post apoc resin needs to be honest.

Sadly the same is true for North Americans wishing to buy these products. Armorcast is a cheaper local solution.

I've had a look at the Aintsy and Fenris stuff and its quite nice. I'll likely see what I can get locally as well. :)

@Apeekabook - Thanks for that! I'm going to try smoking some old Superglue and see if I can get a good dirty frosting going when the time comes. Appreciate the experience!

All life is an experiment.
The more experiments you make, the better.

Watch out with that superglue, so you don't accidently glue your fingers together! Not that I would do anything like that...  lol ;)

That mega minis stuff looks really nice... Thanks for pointing me towards it. Their interiors stuff will save some time as well. Going to have to order some of it when I start work on my table!

And some more...





And some 1/43 scale die-cast car repaints!







This last one is my favorite. Love this blue bomber!

Crisp PJ's
The repainted cars are top notch, although I'd expect a broken windshield on the dark blue car with all that blood on the bumper & hood.

Cars are good but just to add to your blood work, get some tamiya clear red, lovely stuff for blood splatters. Also get a gw or mantic zed plastic hand with fingers outstrectched, dab some paint on it and use it as a stamp, very effective on overrun vehicles, windows especially. If you use TCR you can use the stamp to 'smear' with too!

Nice HF collection there too.

Now that's a trick I got to remember.  8)

Only just caught up with this thread and it is fantastic!
Great paintjobs, loving the logos on the shirts etc.
 :-*

Your 'gore' effects work very well too and the cars are great.

Will be looking forward to this continuing.

Thanks fellas. I've got a number of figures and vehicles to go, and five really excellent buildings laser cut from MDF with removable levels and detailed interiors I'm really excited about.

More to come!
