Junktown Scrapyard Crew - Update - Muthaship Supplies

[clanmac]

Please forgive me sticking my oar in but probably from this set:

GDonk

Yes it is - exactly that set. Highly recommended, although not a cheap way of getting a few coats and suitcases. The coat hanging on the bunk bed is from the same set, as is the Indian Jones hat on one of the lockers and a couple of other bags.

Considering the preponderance of suitcases at train stations in Fallout 4 and 76, that's a right useful set.

So as to question 2 regarding the wind turbine, did you make that piece or get it somewhere?

Apologies, missed it. It’s scratchbuilt. Based on a Lego aircraft engine. Sprues, plasticard, Grandt line bolts and a few other parts from the bits box. Details back on pg 17 of this thread.

That's where I had seen that!  I didn't go back far enough in the thread.

Came out spectacularly.

Thanks very much, can't remember if I ever posted the finished article pics on their own, so here goes.

Man, your rust is so freaking lifelike it's unbelievable.  Awesome job.

[Grumpy Gnome]

Utterly sublime. So realistic!

[OSHIROmodels]

So much to like on this thread 

[War Monkey]

Another awesome build! I love coming to this thread time and time again looking at all of your work.

Working on another batch of Junktown vehicles. This is at least in part a guilt reduction move. I've bought another 16 or so resin vehicles in the last month so I have to manage the pile or it will swamp me.

So I am going to do the last of my Ramshackle Games Rheboks. This the first tracked one I've done - it will become 'Thing 5'. Another converted construction vehicle used by the Junktown Defence Force. I've added the odd tweak but it doesn't need much to be honest.

To go with it I'm making two Experimental Vehicles (XVs). The idea behind these is that they were technology test bed tanks used to play with new technology, designed and then left in some forgotten vault until salvaged by one the Junktown salvage crews. I've used Pig Iron Ironside/Ironshields for this as they already have a kind of Experimental look to my eye. By adding some bitz I'm trying to reinforce that and give myself an excuse to mix Sci-fi tech with modern US gear (Abrams/Humvees etc).

WIPs below - painting starts this weekend.

That last one just looks so hulkingly heavy and solid, like an engineering vehicle, Brilliant.

I can see variants of that with recovery cranes or something.

Thanks Grah. Ramshackle's Rheboks are perfect for Engineering vehicles - they are so solid.

Paint job developing on the XVs. I've done the first bit of basic blocking in and hairspray weathering. I'm trying to recreate the look of a US Baghdad Gun Truck, with loads of heavy, slightly rusty pig iron slabs of applique armour.

They are already coming out great!
And I am always in awe, -besides your imaginative creations and your talent to produce old rusty and weathered objects- of your immense bits and bobs collection!!!

great start

My thoughts exactly, gorgeous.
