Title: Serenity Characters in post Apocalyptic World
Post by: sneakgun on 26 July 2009, 12:40:25 AM: I started this conversation over on TMP The Miniatures page.

What kind of Vehicle would the crew use in the post Apocalyptic World, before
space travel? Serenity was a cargo vessel, so a tank wouldn't work. Maybe a
modified eighteen wheeler truck?

some ideas others posted;

Maybe a train, hauling cargo back in forth or off into the unknown. Having to
repair or reroute or… It would be large enough for the 9 characters. maybe like
this:

Do any of you have any ideas???

Either that or some kind of airship.

I hadnt seen that figure yet, cool!

Im not crazy about the gun though, its a bit steampunk or something.
Conveniently for those of us who care about these sort of things a perfect replacement can be found here (http://www.hasslefreeminiatures.co.uk/wip.php?wip=246&arr=18#foo).
