Constable's Fallout/SSS Project - *NEW Church and Cottage p24

[Constable Bertrand]

not too sure what to title this thread, but here is what Iv'e been working on for my SSS based, fallout/Mad Max themed board. 

SSS has rules for trolleys and stretchers, I figured a brahmin would do that job in fallout, so I started the plastic toy hunt. I found some cows from a toy shop for $9, and thought that was alright for 6 cows. well 3 cows, 2 babies, and a bull. They are too large for 28mm figures, but if they have 2 heads who is to say they are the same size??? So here are the rough 2 headed Brahmin. I need to GS the neck areas, and give them some stuff to carry.



Next up the wastelanders needed some sweet rides... and Blackwolf's fantastic  Patrol car looked fun to make. So que Top Gear challenge music, Tamiya 1/48 WWII vehicles, styrene rod, styrene sheet, and a Revell 1/32 Eurocopter.









More images are on my blog if you're interested.

Great start! The two-headed beasts of burden do look like, well, proper beasts Any plans to arm those vehicles? What make is that light blue civvie car?

[FATROC]

I really like your kit bashing.

[Constable Bertrand]

Cheers FATROC.

Pocoloco, its a Dinky/Meccano Ford Cortina. Here in Aus it would cost $20-40 from an antique dealer, I bought it on ebay uk for under $5. It was the shipping that got me ... luckily Mrs Bertrand agreed that I need to buy in bulk.

[Brummie Thug]

Excellent start, the beasts are obviously prime examples of Brahim.

[Constable Bertrand]

Very prime, should get so e good cuts of irradiated meat out of them. We shall see how they last in-game... Do you think opponents will "take out" the transport advantage from the other team?

[aggro84]

Looking good.
I really like the vehicles.

[Constable Bertrand]

Having left the vehicles for a bit, I need the pack brahmin first for the campaign I have rolling around in my head.

I finished loading them up with supplies and tying it all down, undercoated then managed to start painting today.







My friend said they were huge! They certainly wouldn't fit through my door, but I am glad that a fantasy setting can extend ones belief about animal sizes just a little.

As always C&C welcome.

Cheers

Stunning, sir.
Simply stunning!

Love those beasties, they do look like like some superb specimens and those motors are just so cool.
 

Looking forward to following this project.
Oh, yes indeedy!

True beasts of BURDEN (caps intentional ). They look mighty fine, wouldn't want to experience a stampede of them 

[Diakon]

Those Brahmin look ace. Can't wait to see them finished. Doesn't bother me that they're HUGE. They are heavily mutated by radiation & FEV. Nice painting on that Hasslefree chick too.

Really liking yr rides too. This is probably going to be a cool project.
 

[Silent Invader]

The cows scare me. !

[Constable Bertrand]

So the cows have been finished! And boy are they huge. In the last game we played, all 'special items' were random. This 'little' beastie was hiding in a car boot. Not sure how she got there, but at least she wasnt hiding in a bed roll, oil drum or on a book shelf i guess.  There was many lols at that point.





*yes that says CRAM

They came out really good Constable Bertrand, I had some cheap mixed sized plastic horses/donkeys and cattle from target, which I brought a while ago for just such an idea. As yet I haven't really started on them, but yours came out great, and I am going  to have to revisit mine some time in the future, Keep up the great work.

[Brummie Thug]

They came out great. Nice job on them
