I dunno. I had a great-aunt with ankle-biting, mentalist, sectarian, dachshunds, whom she would set upon unwanted visitors with the command "Romans!"

Nothing wrong with Dachshunds

Love the Landy

Lol. Those Dachshunds must have had Goth ancestors...

Just to be clear, it was the dachshunds who had sectarian hatred in their hearts. The aunt was totally even-handed in her dislikes. Jehovah's False Witnesses, Seventh Day Apprentices, the local vicar, the man from the gas board or someone selling double-glazing would all get the 'Mitzy, Schitzy (or whatever the other one's name was) Romans!' treatment.

Oddly enough, where she lived I suspect she had an only slightly higher chance of encountering a member of the Catholic curia as she had a Roman legionnaire.

The Land Rover looks ace!

Thanks mate.

For a moment there I thought we were going to go off topic

Love the Landy and its crew.

Lovely work on the Landy. This project is giving me lots of inspiration for my current Zona Alfa project. Keep 'em coming

Back on it after a break to recharge my batteries…

Next up some transport for my Police Support Unit (1/43 diecasts)

That's a lot of rozzers!

Lot Fuzz!

Nice work on those

I always do my darnest to paint all kinds of reflections and blends on my windows, but this fogged over look actually works really well too! How did you do this? Just a light (not fully covering) overspray with a white or light grey?

The fogged look is ideal for the chilly conditions that I've set my game in, and couldn't be easier to do...just don't mask the windows and spray lightly with a matt varnish

Like police vans, may have to resort to that type if can’t find white meat wagon. Can you remember who’s make they are.

Ultravanillasmurf · « **Reply #462 on:** October 23, 2023, 06:17:50 PM »

Nice.

Did they come as police vans?

What a great project, now over 2 years later. Did you make your own rules in the end? The encounter tables in All Things Zombie might provide some inspiration.

Our ice-cream vans always had 'Watch For Children' written in large letters across the back. Another crushing childhood disappointment, as no matter how many lollies I bought, they never gave me a watch!

I appreciated this, even if I am the only one that 'clocked' it.
