Ruined London Board ( Photobucket links repaired!)

[Andym]

Thanks guys!

nice find... you should have cleaned them out

That would have taken a LOT of money!! There was at least 10 buses, plus there was a whole wall full of 1:50 scale cars, most of which were 70s-80s classics. Their stock, for a wee shop, was much better than their bigger counterparts in Glasgow!!

My plan is to have all the vehicles rusted and weathered. Karl showed a nice wee VW van painted in acrylics in another thread, I'll do the same here.

It'd probably be piss easy to come up with that authentic smell for the telephone box, a nice touch I think 

What I remember from a weekend in London ages ago, is that the phone boxes where pasted with postcard-like ads for adults. (dunno if this still is the case ?)

It's a stunner...... Awesome

Have you considered an Evening Standard seller's pitch?  Opportunity for a news headline poster and a pile of wind blown papers?

Great idea!! Consider it stolen done!

That really looks the business Andy 

Are you going for a few cyclists or motorbikers?

Yes, this is still the case but not so much as it used to be with the Internet and all

Cracking stuff Andy! As simple as it seems I never thought of repainting vehicles with acrylics. I'll have to get me one of those buses.
Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I'm just extrapolating

You can get help for that these days

Just seen Zombies vs Cockneys, very funny, Richard Briars with a zimmer frame just about outrunning a zombie is funny as! Anyway that bus will serve as a great survivor's transportation vehicle, nice choice.

Makes me want to do something compact for my modern zed stuff like my Halo stuff. Oh well time doesn't allow at present so I'll jsut sit and drool alot at this thread.

Just googled Cockneys vs zombies and you are right: Very funny!

I missed this latest update somehow....now I know why I was getting the shakes!

This thread is like wargames Crack:
If you dont get your regular dosage, you are doing cold turkey!

Superb stuff, as usual, Andy!
Lovely!
 


In regards to the vehicles: Rather than painting them, maybe you should give the Modelmates range a try.
It is really simple stuff to use and it does not take long.
It would work well on those vehicles, the bus especially, to get rid of the 'shine' without having to repaint the whole thing.

that is a damn fine bit of work! outstanding, just simply outstanding.

Cracking stuff - makes me want to weep, it's so good!

[Andym]

Cheers guys!!

I'm trying to get the board finished by next week and I'm in full blown painting mode. I'm trying to get a decent colour for the sewer tunnel. I was thinking of orange brick, but I'd like it a bit dirty. I tried painting GW blazing orange over dark flesh but that didn't work,it's too see through, so I've had to add some foundation yellow to the mix. I think it looks alright once I used some hawk turquiose to mess it up! I also used some cheap house paint testers for the earth.





I also added a couple of wee signs to the building. That was a pain in the arse!!!!
