Lots of great looking toys you have.
Enjoyed the story.
Cool pictures.

Cool setup.

Cheers Aggro, Steve, Marine and Zizi. I think my collection is slowly coming together, glad you agree. My box of lead is bigger, and the space I need to store all my toys is growing too! :/ I'll run out of space soon!

The lizzards look ideal for FO-NV gekkos.

Yeah, I haven't played NV, but they could very easily. The local dollar shops have interesting 'farm' animals of various sizes, but they are too radically off scale to be useful or compatible together, and scorpions are a little hard to find. I could have stag beetles though, and snakes...

I've got a Pardulon scorpion somewhere in the resin pile. Rather delicate casting so I haven't started on it yet.

As for you, I thought scorpions were readily available down under ? 
Seriously, have you considered a dried specimen ? I'd think that in a country where they live, it shouldn't be to hard to find one.
And if you got 'em roaming in your neigbourhood, you could always try to do it yourself : http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?218910-Dry-Mounting-and-Pinning-a-Dead-Scorpion

And a very nice looking collection it is too.
Plenty of eye candy to keep even the most demanding happy.

Very nice!! I love the storyline and terrain. Reaper minis has some of the new bones scorpions from last years kickstarter really cheap.

Lol
Thanks Zizi, thanks for.. thinking outside the box. Not sure I want to trap a vicious poisonous beastie in a jam jar and then figure a way to kill it without using a shoe. Australia suburbs don't have many scorpions thankfully, spiders? Sure, and deadly! But not Scorpions.

So thanks for the tips gents I may need to research those options you suggested. Especially "really cheap" ones Cheers!!

We have found our pool of figures a little low for the squishy nature of SSS characters, so the next update will Include a few more folks to murder, I mean ... Interact with.

Cheers

I finally finished the weathering, adding a little more rust, and a splatter of dust. Also attaching the modifications the players found in the scrapyard on their last outing.



The Japanese vault-dweller Fumiko, and her bedraggled team found an old army truck in the middle of town which was reparable. But a flatbed truck is a bit boring, why not make a camper van? So with her sledge hammer and some finer movements they have attached a chopper cockpit and added a bed, stove and some storage cabinets. She has some plans to grow some veggies under the 'glasshouse' ... if she can find any.









Mutant Joe preferes a little arm room, with a tendency for making holes in things, styling his truck after a convertible battle wagon. Everyone in Post-Apocalyptia likes a little irradiated vitamin D. It certainly gives the citizens a "healthy" glow.







As always C&C welcome.

Cheers

As promised a comparison shot of some 32mm Black Scorpion with 28mm hasslefree and EM4 figures.

Absolutely wonderful, my good man.
These have just the right amount of 'mess' going on.
Perfect!

That has to be the coolest post-apoc vehicle I have seen since, since....since the apocalypse happened!
 

[Espritfigs]

hahahahaha. Cheers Mason, no shark with lazers attached, but certainly better than all the campervans you see on the highway during the holidays

Very very nice! i love your work. the truk is wonderfull

Aw, thanks! They are fun combinations.

Love those vehicles! Great weathering! 

That means a lot coming from you aggro, i must try your pastel trick, it looked really good but i dont have the correct solvent on hand, so i have it a skip. I'm a bit nervous to try it. At least they look 'right'!

Thanks buddy!
They look great. I would leave them as they are.
I used standard mineral spirits from a hardware store as a solvent but I am told turpentine works just as well.

For completeness sake, here is the fellow from the painting league.
