Scratchbuilt 15mm Serpentia Alternative Vehicles

[zrunelord]

Hello again all,
A friend asked why I had used the human type vehicles for my Serpentia & I replied I would build snake men specific ones.
Well here's my wip on them.

2 sizes of washing m/c drain pipes ( just look on the lovely internal detail on the grey pipe )
Top of a plastic bottle ( to fit hose to front piece )
A lemon juice cap ( rear hatch )
Scratchbuilt front piece. ( plaster of paris & card )

I will need to add light & heavy weapons next

It looks like you have a good start... the pipes are a good fit with the theme. It is difficult to comment on the other bits and bobs without knowing what they represent but I reckon you are definitely on the right track

Hopefully, further updates will add a bit more context so we can see where things go

Thanks for the feedback Inso,
Will look much better for sure when finished.

The plan is to glue it on an mdf + hard foam base so as to form it into a solid thing.
Then wire pipes , aerials, weapons,hatches etc.

The front piece is the snakepit ( cockpit  ) where the crew sit & the yellow piece is the back hatch

The pipe was the logical thing thing for snakes.....
Will post pics asap.

That is a great idea, fitting so well with the theme.
 

Looking forward to the colouring in.

These are such a cool concept.  Excited to see them painted!

And here they are as promised my friends ..... I had to add small flt bases to them as they were wobbling over.
Sandstone, Buff, Carmine Oil colour diluted with non stink type W&N turp wash turns the sandstone colour to a pinkish hue, W&N ultramarine . Windshields made with Pearlescent paint + Ultramarine.... The base was done in cracked sandstone then given a wash of carmine.
I need a break now, off to continue the Necromunda board.....
