This needs Hasslefree's Elvis impersonator (Bubba) if you want that chapel to be in New Vegas  :)

For sure. I also want to get that not-Buddy-from-Six-String-Samurai model I saw somewhere. And then I can add the rockers from em-4 ... basically this never stops.

OK, the Gnomad weppings -- er, weapons -- shop is open for business!



In honour of it, I created a little marketplace scene to take pictures of.



An itinerant scrap trader sells his wares.



Wasteland raiders sell hapless unfortunates as slaves. Or food.



A techno-missionary harangues the roughnecks outside the bar.

Great scenes. I can practically feel the disapproval radiating off the missionary :)

Amazing work!  So inspiring.  I really must get round to doing post-apoc some time. 

I love the colour palette you use which is colourful yet muted.

I turned some army men -- 100 for Ł1, at least according to the label, although I don't know. I have a few dozen at least -- into guards for the post-apocalyptic marketplace. Or rather I should say that I turned one; the others aren't done yet.

A little raggedy, but not bad for a penny. Head is from a Frostgrave soldier, backpack etc. from the bits box.
