Title: A few vehicles for our "High Octane" setting
Post by: Braxandur 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:

The only thing missing is a Trike I already painted some years ago, but seem to have misplaced somewhere   :'(

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).

Very nice indeed, especially the bikes look very cool on the table. 8)
