Some stuff I've been working on recently

[Zafarelli]

... or not so recently. I have just moved my workshop to a much better location, and retrieved quite a few more or less finished things from various boxes. Everything is more or less WIP, as I am usually working on several things at once. More often than I'd like to, I abandon things for one reason or another, and put them away, to be revisited on occasion. The Gun Tractor was actually started in 2008 Anyway, the packing and subsequent unpacking of most of my modelling related stuff seemed like a good opportunity to set aside the more interesting things.

So, in no particular order:

Some refuse bags. Painted to resemble those black heavy duty bags.


Some skeletons dressed in more or less modern clothing. Painting halfway done:


Two more, still to be painted:


Set of ammo boxes. Need to do a few additional hinges and locks.


A set of three fences to go with my Shanty Town. Actually this is more a try how thin I can go, and it is actually pretty amazingly thin. The individual sheets are made from 1 mm sheet lead, which is easily dented and twisted. I was quite surprised how few bubbles got caught despite being so thin. And even the few visible ones can be easily worked into the overall picture during painting.




Last is a quad gun tractor. Started in December 2008, surfaced briefly during spring 2009, and forgotten until recently. I think it looks slightly out of scale, but on the reference pictures I found, it does, too Also, the wheels are too large.



Most of the things should be available from Pardulon once they are completed (obviously, some are more completed than others ). Fences and refuse bags only need to be photographed properly, while it might take some more time with the gun tractor...

Those skeletons have lots of uses!

Nice work Zaf.

Really nice work Zafarelli. I like the skeletons. Would fit the streets of my zombie town.

[anevilgiraffe]

like that... is it something proper or made up?

[Calimero]

Nice work Zafarelli... I like it all

It strongly ressembles the British/Canadian Field Artillery Tractors from World War Two, either the Morris Commercial or the Canadian Military Pattern version, not sure which it looks like more. Used for towing 25pdrs and their limbers, and the like. I seem to recall an Airfix kit back in the day.

That's the one (or two) I was working from, but it probably doesn't get much closer than resemble

I still like the leichen. I do think you should do some less dead ones too though. Just so they could compliment each other.

oooooooh! 

Planning something similar but not finished yet, (dead occupants for vehicles), these are nice, that;d for the signpost Acky!

[Malamute]

Wonderful stuff Jens.

[Doomsdave]

Thorbjørn, no frische Leichen at the moment, sorry. Got other things on my mind

Meantime, skellies are painted:


There are 4 different (top right and bottom left are identical). Most probably available from Pardulon on Monday, together with the fences.
