And to make things even better...they do work with other producers, too.

Here is the Roadwarrior compared to an Elhiem model and a painted plastic army men soldier I still had from my childhood.

And that's what I came here for! Elhiem is my favourite model producer, and these look like they'll work perfectly :)

Yes, Mr Copplestone is working on them now. I'm 'hoping' for:
Highway Patrol
Punks
Hill Billies
City Slickers.

Here's Kev's work on the Wasteland Warriors

These are exciting miniatures. I am hoping for a bit more of a Zona Alfa crossover than pure Mad Max. So a bit more like some of the Copplestone Future Wars figures in some respects; some gas masked figures, Neo Soviets (some in gas masks) and Partizans. And post apocalyptic monsters. It would be great to have dual use out of figures and scratch built buildings.

They were never going to be Zona Alfa, sorry. We asked him to make Gaslands figures, not Future Wars. I all honesty, we weren't expecting the Warboys. We asked for Dark Future Cops, Punks and City Slickers, the first set arrived was Warboys.

I never question, I'm just grateful.

Brilliant, dear Nick! Both Kevin‘s painting on the boys as well as the idea to bring on more!
Any chances we might see more iconic heroes of the end times?

Never mind, I am sure it will all be useful. Maybe I can do some conversions.

More heroes? I just don't know, not planned but that doesn't mean no.

Mark's confirmed today the Highway Patrol is done, and the punks part done.

Actually I playing up the whimsical artist bit too much. He did make the Pict command due to requests. But he really doesn't want to make more Back of Beyond, or Glory of the Sun.

There is great potential in the soft plastic sets sold by other manufacturers ... just cut off a few heads and use Nick‘s new models as a base!

Well anything Mr Copplestone does, gets my full and utmost admiration! I just wondered if you want to develope the Gaslands setting with a couple of small gangs (which I think is just, what it needs! Not more, not less), there would really be a great opportunity for a hero sets.

Just imagining something like Homungous, Tina Turner, Immortan Joe as evil heroes, and maybe Tank Girl, Furiosa, Papageno for the goodies...heck this would even be the perfect opportunity for a not-Snake Plissken mini...you know I always wondered how he won that race!

Very cool! I really like the understated painting on the car (I still don't really know how to do that).

So soon?! Can't wait.
