Title: The Bethany collective.
Post by: marrony on September 28, 2009, 03:08:06 PM

I haven't posted anything for a while and my painting isn't too good yet but I hope you enjoy these motley band of survivors that travel the wastes of Northern England after the Great Plague.

Memories of Sunday evenings with only four channels to choose from and no rights over the remote control come flooding back!

Thanks for the extra pic, are those armour plates Ramshackle? I think the vehicle could do without a base BTW, otherwise very nice 8)

Holie Cow!! These look like characters from The Walking Dead comic book. Especially with that RV in the background.

Where did the RV come from? I've been needing a couple or four.

Give yourself more credit Maronny.  I think they look sharp.  I like how you did your bases... I definately plan to copy you when I do my survivors/zombies.   :D

Aye, great van; I'd like to know where you got it and what you did to it too. There do seem to be Rhino bits in there, but whatever, you've made a really excellent job with the rust and whatnot.

I'm sure I know that Dewhurst bloke, I'm pretty sure he lives down the road from me Mam.

Ah, you're right! I never had any of the new kits so I didn't recognise them 8)

Yes GW rhino parts indeed! The wagon was bought at our local TK max store for £2.99 and came with plastic table and happy camper figures. The
The rust and wear and tear is a mixture of orange/brown washes and grey or pale blue highlights.Must admit most of the techniques I used came from trail and error and wet on wet mixing.
Thanks again for comments and good luck with your projects. ;)
