Oh! Nice find! I was thinking about scratchbuilding a still but now that I see this...
BTW, Miniature Building Authority has a very nice hillbilly cabin too.
Jane! Stop this crazy thing!

MBA has some nice stuff, but a bit pricey. I use O scale kits for most of my buildings, I have these two kits on the table now.

WOW! I am so glad to see such great responses to the game! I think I'll have to expand and do some other pulp related stuff as well. This is exactly the kind of terrain we used!

I am so over the big army games, they look impressive on the table top, but it's just too much work and not enough pay off for me.
I LOVE small scale skirmish games, less figures to build and paint means I will actually get them on the table and play a game!

I look forward to this game and any additions you may come up with, PULP is the new 40K!  ;D

I found these on ebay, I may have to get a still! ;)

This is just perfect for my aliens-probing-the-backwater-farm plan. Had to order them.  ;D

Small farm with a lot of cornfield around it, and behind a small hill at a small pond, a shack with a still and some hillbillies...  lol

Oh the postman doth bring me goodies!

Blue moon hillbillies "The Hardfelts"

A small but "cute" reconnaissance saucer

and 26 assorted aliens and humans from the "Chaos in Cronos" line.

My Greys from zombie smith should be here next week!  :D

Tengu Models has some nice greys, too (did somebody mention that already - bit late here?)  :)

The Tengu greys are nice, I will probably pick some up at some point, however I felt the ones from Zombie smith had more "character" to them.

Just got the cover! Artist did a fantastic job! He's going to make some mods and then we're going to get into the art! I'll post the cover up on my blog when it's ready.

The cover art is completed! I think James pretty much nailed it!

I'm using the aliens from Zombiesmith. They are so cute. I'm thinking about painting them in Star Trek uniform colors, gold for command, blue for sciences, red for security, etc..

I did the same with some 'greys' from Brigade Games  lol Not the entire suit, which is silvery, but all the details, such as belts, cuffs, collars. Am currently collecting/acquiring the materials I need for a game set-up similar to this project, so I just might get me this ruleset, too  ;)

Anyone knows where to find die-cast old pick-up trucks suitable for those backwater farmers?
