At first glance I took these vehicles to be resin casts, but I checked out your WIP thread And I'm astounded at your modeling abilities!

Great work on the cars SI.

Loads of inspiration and thinking outside the box have created these two cars .

Well done, and looking forward in seeing more of your work.

Excellent models!

I'm sure they would be very popular with the zombie-hunting fraternity if made available  :)

 :o  Still almost can't believe you made those yourself. They are sooo nice

Are you also going to make them look like they have been used by putting some dirt or the like on the bottom of the car?

That's something I kinda overlooked so cheers for raising it.  Thinking about it now the answer is ...... I don't know!  My games mostly take place at the beginning of an outbreak where life is (or recently was) pretty much as normal.

Have you ever seen a clean VW campervan or Landrover?  That said Mr Invader, I put a hat on especially just so I could take it off to you. lol

I especially applaud the Landrover, but that is no slight on the VW - It's just a reflection of a misspent youth greenlaning with my father.

Haha!  Think cherished collectibles rather than off-roading or beach-bumbing!  In my game they're parked up in a town rather than on a farm or by a beach ..... the vehicular equivalent of a wild animal in a zoo.......   lol

Hopefully you took moulds before painting as you'll have fun fun fun trying to scratch identicals.  :?

Lovely though well done.
