Hi All,
I started a project last year in 20mm for THW's All Things Zombie. I intend to use it for that game, but I have to say the game itself feels quite dry and it sapped some of my enthusiasm. However, with the publication of AtDE I found new life for my gear. As I'm finishing up with my SAGA armies, I'm trying to prioritize projects that are more finished than not. This one fits that bill, and it's always great to paint in a new scale for a while.
My game will not be in the UK, but in the States and in my home town. :D I'll restart my thread with what I have and what I'm working on. To start things off, I based and rebased some minis that have been waiting for paint. I'm still using 5 euro cent coins and with my new basing stamps, I've come up with some really great bits. I think that work in terms of scale and theme. But, what do you guys think?

cracking Job 8)
I'm not familiar with the AtDE Setting,judging by the Building Structures,this Place hasn't been abandoned for a very long Time,a Year maybe ??? Most of the Windows are still intact,so are the Roofs...
nonetheless the overall Look is very atmospheric,you can cleary see that something sinister must have happened here 8)
i like the Stamped Bases much better than the flocked ones :-X
As I'm finishing up with my SAGA armies
what no Normans then? :'(
-
Sounds like a fun idea you need some more scattered terrain and stuff theres quite a few open space despite the buildings and cars.
-
Cheers! I have about 100 GW DF minis and maybe 20 buildings in 1/72. So I thought this would be a great project for my table. I can always paint up my 28's for other people's tables :D
I have a bunch of stuff I picked up at Acheson Creations. His 20mm barricade, barrels, drums, etc are usually 50 cents or so. A super great deal! I painted up about 4 pieces so far. But more to come. I'm also going to build a small playground and park to fill the back and break up the total urban terrain.

Oh, the Normans will come. But I still need to order them and the DF minis have been staring at me for about 6 months... :D This will refresh me to go back to Dark Ages stuff.
I like to set my games either right after the 'incident' or a year or two later. But I also can add moss, etc to 'age' the buildings a bit more. I've also made the roof removable on the gas station, so that would also help add some age. I have a bunch of old cars to make VERY weathered too.

You are to be cool
I love this
20mm is where it's at and you are proving it.
Keep it up I am a fan.

Cheers Mate! I've loved the DF minis since I was a kid and this is a great way to use the heck out of them. I'm looking forward to coming home from my research trip to start painting again.
-
Wicked. Love me some 20mm. 8) :-*
-
I look forward to some 20mil zombie goodness with Mr Peabs! Great board! At least cars are easier to get to scale in 20! 28's are awkward for that...
-
Thanks Guys! I have about 65 Elhiem Zeds ready for basing!
-
WOW! 18-0-0 on my survey! Thanks to those of you who chose to give feedback! And to everyone who decided to take a gander at my project!
I'll be home this weekend and cant wait to get a brush in my hand again. After 2 weeks of research in libraries, frankly I'm pooped! I need a little 'me time' with my favorite projects!
-
This is great! I love seeing people take ADE and personalise it with their own Gangs and settings! Are you changing the distances/scale for 20mm?
-
Looks fabulous!

Thanks so much Mates! I bought in on the minis, so cant wait to get some paint on them too!
As to scaling, I'm going to see how ADE works in 20mm, with everything else the same. If it doesnt seem to make sense I'll fiddle with the ranges a bit, but either way I'll post up my progress!
Thanks again for all the support!
-
I think the ranges shouldn't be too much of an issue...after all, so long as all figures stick to the same, it should work. if your Gangs move vertically at all though, you might find they can jump or climb rather a long way for their relative heights! lol
Be sure to let us know how it goes!

lovely stuff- your home town in a dump!
This is the look I want to aspire towards for my ATDE -but a bit more overgrown and damp because I am in the UK

Ha! The local Zombies did a real job on the joint... Here is the first gang, my Home Gang. I've stripped and rebased everything. It took a 2 week soak in Simple Green and even the crazy glue became brittle. I rebased using stamps and then small artifacts. These 11 will get primer this week.

Now added to the party, the Home Gang doctor, Aleks. She's a psychaiatrist by specialty, but is a fully trained MD which is a boon that most groups cant boast of.

Thanks for the kind words Mates!
Those stains are all from the present engagement, the fact that the coat get eternally stained in the same exact places is a mystery that can only be explained in the weird world of the tabletop! :D
-
Its obviously more porous in those places lol

Patching people up in the field is bloody business! lol

Great doc

That looks good.

Thanks guys! More on the way!

C&C's are always welcome!
-
Your painting is lovely! Keep going!

20mm......... good skills mate!!!! :o
Really liking these. I always had a soft spot for Dark Future and 20mm allows for a big game in a smallish area.
Keep it coming.
Regards
PM

Thanks Gentlemen! I'm loving the minis, and have 80-90 based and primed!
I've put together the follwoing factions that have 8-15 members each, but most average 10.
The Home Gang (My Gang)
The Gully Gang (Former town scum, now wasteland scum)
The Palumbo Gang (A group from a little west of our territory. There is an uneasy truce and cooperation between the Palumbo Gang and the Home Gang, the leaders knowing each other from before the Fall.)
The HaztMat Team (A team of yellowsuited people from Camp Downton Laboratory, a Department of Energy lab often call the American Cern)
The Police (This is nothing more than the remenenats of the former Island Police and are now just another competing gang, just in many cases better armed)
The Military (They come in by Blackhawk, and they leave by Blackhawk. They seem to be the least effected group, but have yet to make contact with any other group)
The Main Force Patrol (The remnants of the Island Highway Police, again, another competing gang with better access to kit)
The National Guard (Soldiers from the nearby National Guard Base have formed up and claimed an area of territory)
Foreign Troops (There is a contingent of foreign troops also moving in and out of the area, but as with the Military, no other group seems to have made contact with them)
This represents the regional players I have prepared for the area. I have a city board getting finished, the rural board is done, borrowed from other games, and I plan to use Dwarven Forge product to make the cold war/post-9/11 bunkers that most groups have acquired
I'll have some more groups as well, just for variety and random encounters.
Thanks for all the support Mates!
-
This is very sweet. :o
-
Nice additions! Makes me wish I hadn't sold all mine a few years back!
-
Thanks Mates!
I made a small mistake, this is The Gully Leader, Wayne Gully

Very cool! Conversion? If so, where's the main body from?
-
Cheers Mate!
The body is from Aberrant
http://store.aberrantgames.com/abgwl021.html
And the head is a DF mini, the ponytail guy in a suit.
The Aberrant mini is not so hot. the head was just awful, and the body is quite...flat. So if you look at him sideways, he's rather slim. But I reposed as much as I could, and then added the better head.
Overall, I'm happy with the finished product, but I do need to do some touchups....
-
I think he's great and better for the new head. I recognised the head from the pony-tailed suit guy - he was my favourite sanctioned op back in the day. Shame I traded all my DF miniatures for Citadel Traveller 15s a few years before RAFM rereleased them. >:(
Great collection by the way! :D

Thanks! I really like them myself. IMHO they are among the very best lines ever produced by Citadel. Every mini has character, is very well sculpted and there is a great variety. I've been eager to get a good basing solution for them and a game to play. Although its hard to see, the bases are quite sculpted with a street and sidewalk motif. I purposely kept is dark, and dusty with pigments.
Once I get 8 minis for each team i'm going to try and play this at my club. looking forward to posting AAR's!
-
Your basing is excellent, particularly for 20mm miniatures. Look forward to seeing some AARs!
-
More Excellent stuff! I especially like Rik, he's got a Mad Max vibe going on!!!

Cheers! It's what I was going for! :D

you can never have enough dark future! :-*
If I had to choose, and there are some great mini lines, the DF minis are among my most favorite. I feel lucky as an expat that I have access to the multitude that seem to be in the UK and are occasionally put up for sale without paying a fortune to ship overseas!

No worries mate, ill get back to you this week. Prob after Wednesday. Do you know where the page is for the DF bikes and drivers? There are more minis to this line, but I can't find the page....

Next addition to the Gully Gang, The Grafer. The Grafer is the Gully Gang's flamethrower operator, but the 'flamethrower' is as dangerous to use as it is to be hit with. The Gully's managed to get something to work, but this rusty steel, copper, and brass contraption looks as if it'll burst and immolate The Grafer any second....not a real loss to Humanity's future in any event.
Without further delay...

I'll say. :o

I'll say. :o
I'm very happy with the purchase! I also got some nice little details you can see in the final product :D. I always like those little things people notice when its one the table. Right now I I glued the walls down and used GS to fill the seams to make it look a bit more contiguous. I think the paint will hide a lot of the prefab. I was going to fill in some of the miscast areas but to be honest, they add some odd rotted PA charm! I think this will be finished by Sunday.

You make me want to stock up on hot wheels (easy to get in the US) and DF (very hard to get in the US) but I don't know how I'll get figures.
-
My advice? Skip hot wheels except for only true mid sized cars, they come out to the correct scale. Smaller cars like a mini from hw works great for 28mm, and a truck for 15mm. For other cars, better to scale, green light is good, had a, and a few others. All cheap and easy to get in the states. For the minis, I'd hit evil bay and look for a deal/lot. Or you can buy from a company like Elhiem. I'd enjoy to seeing your projects too!

I'm in the middle of a 28mm Victorian Zombie Apocalypse right now so a project like this would be down the line. I do have a number of the Westwind 28mm Roadkill figures and a number of 1/43 toy Hummers & trucks so I'd go with that scale.
-
I hear you, it's always hard to switch scales once you invest. I bought both :D
-
I have some nice 1/72 scale truck kits that would work great for this if i could find 20mm figures. :(

Check out Stan Johansen (http://www.stanjohansenminiatures.com/) as he has a range of 20mm road warriors, as well s other ranges with Modern US troops, 80's civillians, etc

Holy smokes, i must be slipping in my old age! Yes, Stan Johanssen has a great line of 20mm, and you can also find some stuff through Aberrant minis. Cheers Mr Dragon!

Thanks for the helpful comments folks, not to mention pushing me into yet another project, I've taken stock I have 2 duce and a half 1/72 scale trucks to try 20mm with. On the 28mm front I have 4 1/43 humvees, a UPS truck, 2 1/50 cars and 20 figures from the Westwind Roadkill line, Heresy trench coat gangers and assorted Hasselfree adventurers. I'll be doing this in 28mm.
-
The ONLY downside on 28mm is the commensurate size of the table... I LOVE 28's topaint up, but with limited flat space, I decided to get my 20's started fist. I also have about 160 zeds in 20mm waiting in the wings! (And prob 300 in 28's)
Whatever you end up doing, it'll be fun to see it once it gets going. Thanks for all the nice comments Mates!
-
i have no idea when I will get this started but here's a quick pic of what I dug out of the miniatures bins.

Thanks Mates! This will go with the terrain I made on Page 1, the Gully House is the one in te center, this ill fit along side, in back of that house. :D I have a small warehouse and church to do next, but I have about 15 buildings to do in total!

That will make a nice sized town.

Thanks Matt! I also added 3 rats (for the 3 Gully Brothers) and some graffitti from an HO train set. I do still need to weather this with pigments, but the lion share of work is done! :D I think I'll add a school or a church and call it a day with terrain for now. Still have about 70 minis to paint for this set. :D

The rats, tire tracks and shack really make this piece.

Awesomeness it looks really good.

Thanks guys! It's an Ainsty Castings dumpster, you get 2! I'm certain they're 28mm, but things like dumpsters, cargo containers, garbage skips and such come in a variety of sizes so they dont look bad in 20mm. Most of the other stuff I use JR Innovative Design HO scale. I'm finishing up some lead junk yard debris from them, they look great for the 20mm.
The patina is about 4 levels of rust pigmentation, and 3 of dirt. Especially for PA stuff, pigments make all the difference when you want something to look old and dirty.
Thanks for all the kind words!

Ok, 1) is it legible? and 2) If (1) is a yes, then does anyone get the reference? Just checking to see if it was too esoteric

I agree, I think it's Michi's design. I think Michi made them and sold the rights in some manner to Ainsty, but he could tell you guys the details better.

Thanks Mate!
I have to say, doing the decals on the container was a bloody pain! There were so many deep ridges that as I got one area set and tried another, the first part would pulland bubble. I ended up making 8 bars to fit into the slots to press them all in at once. Since it's PA I'm fine with a little decal damage. but man, this took me a while to figure out....

Ok, finally had some time to finish a couple of Gully Gangers that I've been working on.
First up is Opatovski, Marky was a notorious drug abuser and pusher before the Fall, after it all went to hell no one who knew him would trust him enough to bring him in their group. Poor Marky's life of poor choices left him without any when the Fall occurred, and the only people who would take him in were the Gully's. But even that menagerie of human garbage looks at Marky as their 'weak link'....
I give you , Marky

Next is a true Gully Ganger, trouble before the Fall, a nightmare after, Lar's Son, Gregg. His 'friends' often just call him LSG. Most of the rest of us who knew him, just call him what we always did, SOB. It all works...

I like how you've based them with rubble and signage, that's a nice subtle touch.
Poor Marky, I hope he gets good dice rolls to make up for it.

Played around last night with a quick project. I added my Not Max mini Rik a few weeks ago. What kind of not-Max would Rik be without his Dog? So, I give you Dog.
(Yes, he's got this very very white top coat, but I included a pic of the breed so that you can see my 'cartoonyness' is part of how the breed looks. Very interesting looking doggie!)

Yep, all's fine now. Dunno if it's got anything to do with it, but early this morning (8-9 hrs ago) I found lots of sites inaccessible (DNS server problem)

Nicely done mate. Love the colour scheme as well. I had no idea there was show specials
-
Thanks Mate! The other Home Ganger Julian, aiming the rifle, is the other trade show mini. I noticed when I was inventorying my collection.
I'm very happy how the gangs have come together. I have at least 10 minis per gang ready to paint, but I think I'll paint up 8 of each gang until I get at least 4 or 5 gangs done. Next up are the police... :D

Sweet! Your making me very nostalgic I wish I hadn't sold on mine now!

:D I thought you just had a very fashionable 'colonial' games room. ;) But it is good to see that the spray primer is close at hand in the house. It must be good for spraying bugs? Glue the suckers together in mid flight! lol Perhaps the perfect BloatFlies with a bit of paperclip up them ;D.*

This is my 2x2 table, but I also have a 4x4 sheet which I will add some woods and other scatter debris and make the town the center.
More to come!

Looking great!

Ok, here is the debut of my third 'gang', no one knows much about them, except that everyone in the area thinks they are from the old Department of Energy Lab a few miles from Old Shoreham. Everyone in the area just call them The Lab People. Everyone also knows that when the Lab People are out, they are looking to kidnap people.....for what, no one seems to know.

Cheers Matt! The Fountain is from Thomillion as a 'second', got it for a tenner. Works perfectly with the 28mm Civil War mini as the statue. I also wanted to add terrain that was not necessarily a building again to break up los but not totally.

Great idea you should have the interior of the copter burnt out that's what soldiers do when they abandon a vehicle like that they burn it.

Thanks! It's been an idea creeping around in the back of my mind for a year or so. I've been slowly gathering the parts and when I got the fountain for a tenner, I was ready to start. I have to admit, I took a bolt cutter to the fountain to make damage, it was the only time I really got nervous... I was praying it wouldnt shatter.... As a precaution I glued it down first so if it cracked, it'd more or less stay in one piece. But it broke very well, a testament to the quality of Thomillion.... Im home working on my phd all weekend, but this will be a nice distraction in the evening....
The 'fire' was an afterthought and I'm very happy with that last detail!

freakin hell that is amazing! Looking forward to you next post!

Update soon :D

Blackhawk Down DONE!

Is that the statues head the opposite side of the piece?
Beautiful scenery though. Brilliant painting. c:

It sure is! I tried to imagine how the damage to the statue would be if the rotors hit it, then I took some artistic license.... :D I also spread some 'body parts', the co-pilot who crawled out as well as a a rat in there. It's fun to put little interesting details.
I also wanted to play around with the scenery I've already built.

Wow! awsome! Really love it,you've done great job. With the smoke effect your setting is very cool.
-
brilliant. great job!
-
Very nicely modelled 8)
-
That's a terrific terrain piece. The flames and smoke really grab the eye (when not entirely hypnotised by the marching elephants) and pull it down to see the details.
-
Looks great mate 8) 8) 8)
Not too sure about the elephant rug in the background though lol
cheers
James
-
Thanks Mates, but I think you guys are commenting on the wrong thing in the pic, this is not about the crappy table, I'm showing off my new kitchen curtain! So, too many elephants? :P lol
-
Just a few ;)
cheers
James
-
Nah, never too many elephants. Great work on the crash site as well. The flame and smoke are some of the best I've seen.
-
The fire was a bit of a chore, but not too bad. The tea light was too big for the chopper, so i found a tube that was sort of the same opaquity as the 'flame' on the tea light. I tried to crazy glue the bulb to the inside of the tube, but the type of plastic made that impossible. So I hot glued the bulb into the tube's stopper and ran the wires through it to the outside. But then no light hit the inside of the chopper, and that looked weird So I did a double battery and glued a second bulb to the bottom. Not perfect, but it works! :D
-
Sorry mate, It's all wrong TBC.
The walkers would 've gathered around that Hawk like moths to a flame with all that noise. ;)
Looks fantastic. The smoke/lights looks fab!
-
Looks awesome dude. Great job on the whole board! :-*
-
That is flat out awesome! The fire was well worth all the effort you put into it! Now all you need to to do is get some of those elephants of the curtains and onto the table. lol
-
By the way when will you do the nuclear plant?
-
Wow! awsome! Really love it,you've done great job. With the smoke effect your setting is very cool.

Thanks Mates! I'm pleased as punch! :D The LILCO Plant is in the works! So is the Tesla Lab and Army Reserve Base (All real locations in my home town!)

Loving it mate! :)
You are really putting heart and soul in this project!

Great project, it's a lovely table to play on o_o

Something Bad Went Down in Old Shoreham
Scuffle on Main Street
The day was warm for November. Perfect weather for scavenging. Clear, bright and tolerable temperatures….. of course that means we weren’t the only ones out shopping….
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/eaodak/SomethingBadWentDowninOldShoreham01_zpsb9af7a34.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/eaodak/media/SomethingBadWentDowninOldShoreham01_zpsb9af7a34.jpg.html)
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/eaodak/SomethingBadWentDowninOldShoreham02_zpsd4fb7927.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/eaodak/media/SomethingBadWentDowninOldShoreham02_zpsd4fb7927.jpg.html)
By the time we got to Main Street our Scout Lisa started getting that twitchy look she gets when she sense people are near. I have no idea what she did before everything went to hell, but if she wasn’t in the military, it was a great loss to the country!
“Shall I run ahead a bit?” She asks over her shoulder?
In a low voice I can only tell her quick enough, “No further than the container!” Which seemed to be unnecessary as she’d do as she thought best….which was to stop at the container. Oh, heavy is the crown… I think to myself as I start moving up to the cars, Jules our Sniper not far behind me.
From my right Lisa yells out to someone I can’t exactly see, “Hey numbnuts! Drop our gear!”
Jules and I make it to the cars ahead where more gear lay. In the next few seconds our Doc sneaks up to the container as well and Phlug our Assaulter decided to stay put and watch for a moment. Ok, chance to take a breath before all hell breaks loose….
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/eaodak/SomethingBadWentDowninOldShoreham03_zps29c8e176.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/eaodak/media/SomethingBadWentDowninOldShoreham03_zps29c8e176.jpg.html)
They say that time after the Fall is often 6 months of boredom for every 6 minutes of hell… I’m thinking around here the ratio is more like a few weeks to every half hour… That thought no sooner goes through my mind before it all begins. All of the sudden I hear feet from all directions ahead. First is what can only be described as a giant with some homemade helmet and worse, what looks like a jury rigged flamethrower!
Quick on his heels is a mowhawked punk gun in hand. He gets to the other car and leans down to pick something up. “Sonnava-bitch…he’s got our gear….” I hear Jules hiss. At that I motion for Jules to take the Big Guy and I take aim with my shotgun on Mowhawk Boy. And as quick as lighting, both drop as I see what can only be their leader lob a freakin grenade at us! Who are these guys?!?!
With that, the grenade bounces off the car I’m using for cover as I watch it fly towards where Jules shot the Big Guy with the flamerthrower… and it goes off with a wet explosion. Poor Mr Flamethrower Guy….
More shots go off to my right as the target of Lisa’s Taunt took a shot from Phlug’s assault rifle in the chest.
(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i149/eaodak/SomethingBadWentDowninOldShoreham04_zps4c7f0356.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/eaodak/media/SomethingBadWentDowninOldShoreham04_zps4c7f0356.jpg.html)
Just a few seconds for a breath and the fire starts again! More feet cming from the front and the right and I see another figure run up to my felled target and leans down… Jules looks over to me asking, “You reckon that’s their Doc? Or another wise guy stealing our gear??”
With a quick, “Does it matter?” I unload my shotgun again sending their ‘Doc’ down as well.
Lisa dispatches her target and grabs the loot he was trying to take ahead of us while Phlug moves up to me and takes positon. Jules grabs his sniper rifle and starts bolting ahead looking for cover and takes aim to our right…. A moment later I hear his rifle crack out a shot to a triumphant, “I think I just tagged their leader!”
Wheeehew…. The Home Gang got REAL lucky today. We took down all the baddies without even a scratch…. They’ll never believe this when we get home!

Cheers Mate! I just saw you sent me your pics, I'll add those as well! Or please feel free to add them with commentary from your gang's viewpoint? :D
-
What a story TBC, I can't believe those results either!
Cheers
Matt.
-
What a real lucky day for sure. I love the write up and your board looks great as ever.
-
Thanks Mates! I must say, I think my success was more do to killer rolls, pun intended, than my stellar strategy.... :D But it was super fun and the cards added a great layer of unknown!
I should add, we played with no rare items and I have no skills... Cant wait to play again! Jasper's looking for 20mm minis to make his own gang, so I sent him to Elhiem :D

Jep, looking at the russina NBC figures:
http://www.elhiemfigures.com/ourshop/cat_847474-Soviet-NBC.html
Although this also looks nice (dark future look alikes)
http://berenzed.wix.com/apocalypseminiatures#!punks-20mm/c552
But I haven't decided yet, so other suggestions on 20mm post-apoc mini's are welcome.

You can also flex your artistic legs and just buy some 1/72 scale modern plastics and convert them. If you go 'soft plastic' with the cheapest ones, the paint will come off quite often so you may want to avoid those. But you can look at 1/72 hard plastic minis if there are any available.

Adding some more Lab People :D

-
They look like some curious chaps... curious about the how your insides would look on the outside!
Very cool figs.
-
Do we want to know what they're researching in that lab ? :o
cool PJ's BTW (love the lenses)
-
Thanks Mates, these are among my favorites of the DF line, such character to them, yet so simple as well.
The 'Lab People' are based on a real Dept of Energy facility a few miles from where I grew up, they call it the American Cern, which I think is filled with possibilities for a PA game. I think they look great with the Soviet NBC troops as their 'heavy muscle' arm. I should have them up by the end of the week :D
-
Nice work mate! :-*
-
These are great figures!
-
Thanks Mates :D
The finished gang, at least for now :D

Nice additions to the Lab gang. Lovely job on the dead bodies as well. lol
-
lol lol lol
That guy cowering behind the tin bin! I like his style.
Cheers
Matt
-
The dead bodies are great! I think I love the lab gang the most of all the gangs so far.
-
Thanks Mate! FYI, the 'Lab' is Brookhaven National Lab.... BNL. About an hour an a half east of you on the Island.
This next one is for fun, I'm not sure how happy I am with it though..... What do you guys think?

au contraire mon frere! :D

And thanks Gents! This one has been sitting on my desk for months. I couldnt figure out how to best do the blue fade at the bottom of the bodywork.... Then I decided to use blue inks. Not totally convinced, but better than I expected :D
-
I think it came out great. Who made the bike/rider?
Jake
-
Loving the punk with the mohican just taking a small wee nap! lol
-
Coincidentally, I just rewatched Mad Max yesterday while painting up some minis, so I remember who the Goose is. Funny, I always forget the first half of that movie, and how it's much more dystopian than it is post-apocalyptic...
At any rate Goose is looking good, let's hope he doesn't run across any pyromaniacs. ;)
-
au contraire mon frere!
Whoops, your right, my apologies sir. :-X
The silver... is still to dark... >:D
lol
Matt.

Sorry Mate I missed your question :D, they're Dark Future 20mm. Not just really great sculpts, but the way they were constructed, it's really very solid. I have I think 20 or 25... :D
-
Whoops, your right, my apologies sir. :-X
The silver... is still to dark... >:D
lol
Matt.
I agree.... It was a compromise between trying to contrast with the 'chrome' pipe and engine, and getting it the silver it should have been..... Oh well! :D But I think I'll add some dark grey to make the MFP lettering more contrasted. I'll also add some gold to the emblem decal as well. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy overall :D

Nice rust bases, Homebrew? They look good mate.
-
Thanks Mate! The bases are from Happy Seppuku stamps, got them last year in a KS. I LOVE them! The rust is just pigments I add at the end, which I realized are hard to see from the angles I take the photos.
-
Painting and basing are great (as usual).
And, though I know it isn't your fault and is me being a pain in the booty, I don't like the way the one guy holds the RPG thing, it would be way too front heavy to aim it long enough to get a good sight picture. How hard is it for sculptors to understand a bit about ergonomics and weapon design?
:D

Thanks Mate! I agree, the pose does look a little odd. There are a couple more in the line that look odd, but overall I'm very happy with the diversity in the small line.
These are going to be it for me until January when I get back from my holidays!

Ok, I wasnt pleased with how it came out at first, so I did a repaint of The Goose!

The repaint is much better.

The contrast on the repaint is a big improvement.
Cool project!

Fantastic work, as usual.

Thanks Mates! There's a group of general PA auto-combat cars and cycles and other vehicles. It'd be nice to have one place to see everyone's projects!

I'll chime in as well with the Goose-appreciation.

Great work in 20mm there- gritty and atmospheric :)

Those troopers look fantastic! :o
Top job sir!
-
Thanks Mates! I'm quite happy with how they came out. Doing their faces in camo grease came to m in a fit of inspiration/laziness or was it laziness/inspiration?

AMAZING!! :-*
You really captured that vehicle perfectly - well done.
-
Thanks Mate! :D Now it's time to get back to those gladiators! :D
-
Very nice, all it needs is a nice toasting from a flamethrower ;)
-
freakin' amazin'
-
Bloody marvelous !
-
Ooh that has turned out well. Perfectly mad max.
What's the vehicle? A 1/43 model car?
Cheers
Matt.

You're thinking of the Bat Car, the Snake Truck survived all the way to the end, and drove away.... :D

Thanks Chaps! It's actually 1/64 20mm from greenlight.
-
Greenlight never heard of them are they like Matchbox? The Snake car is fantastic by the way and yes I was thinking og the bat car too.
-
Well it's perfect!
-
Thanks Guys! Sorry for the late reply, that was my last project before I moved house :D Now just 'in process'...finally! Greenlight, M2, Johnny Rockets all make 'premium' 1/64 cars and trucks. More often more true 1/64 than MB or HW. They have some really great stuff!
All in all, I'm very pleased with how it turned out. Once I get settled I'll finish my MFP police squad of yellow striped cars.

Some toys I picked up for my gangs to play with :D

I've only just discovered this one, lord knows why, and it's very impressive. Your paint jobs on the figures are top-notch. 8)

Thanks Phil! 20mm is really fun to paint and I've been dying to get some color on the DF minis :D

I tend to think "My Eyes! My Eyes!" o_o

... your user name starts with 6mm lol

... your user name starts with 6mm lol
I'll blame it on that rather than encroaching age and decay...

I actually think that between 15 - 20 and 28mm, 20 is pretty easy to paint. In many ways being almost a third smaller than 28 it requires less detailed painting and my eyes hurt too much for the level of detail I like on 15's.... I also use a magnifier for the smallest bits... :P

And this is the start of my Black Pursuit Special that the Nightrider drove.

Getting ready for GaryCon, running a couple of Outrider events and decided to do a 3 on 1 event. Three cars fighting a Battle Bus on a straightaway.

I canwait to see that done.

Thanks for all the kind words Chaps! Looking forward to splashing some paint! :D

Really looking forwards to seeing the paint on those armor plates, the green-stuff is a bit more textured then splasticard so it should come out nice and grungy. Or are you going to paint it yellow?

Cheers! I agree the GS mold really gives a 'beat up' look I like without extra work. It was originally a tour bus, so probably not yellow. I plan to do the plates as a patchwork of colors to mix it up a bit. With proper nicks and dings to reflect wear.

Some more pics, now at prepaint!

I've seen worse urban camo. Looks nice and grimy mate.

Holy Hell! That looks great. Gladiators are it for the post apocalyptic I see they really fit the bill.

How many people are having flashbacks to the old TV series "The Partridge Family", with their multi-colored bus?

Although I see the Partridge Family thing, yes, I was inspired by Mondrian for this! :D
