A few vehicles for our "High Octane" setting
« on: 10 January 2009, 12:31:57 PM »
you have probably already seen the vehicles by Pil, FM and Raz. I finally was at home at the same time as the sun was in the sky, so here are finally some pictures of my road gang:

Thanks for the kind comments!

The bikes are from west wind miniatures. They are actually quite nice

The bikers on the other hand sometimes are a bit strangly proportionated. Nothing that a few head/weapon swaps can't manage though. The ones on the pictre have not undergone this procedure though since I wanted to put the together ASAP for gaming.

The truck is a 1 or 2 euro toy from a one of those cheap selling brands (it says Welly on the bottom). I glued on some bits form the plastic biotoxin plant and suprisingly the Truck was the least of the work to paint. I founs a procedure I read about before on the forum 9or a least a site linked to it) but forgot which one it is. I just gave it a matt varnish, followed by some of the GW washes and made it somewhat dirty. Less than 30 minutes work in total (not counting drying time).
