Scavenge Skirmish Survive

[Silent Invader]

I had Daniel Day Lewis (Last of the Mohicans) and Mel Gibson (The Patriot) in mind, but with bow rather than musket

A possible new direction on vehicles for the troopers.

It was only after reading a thread in the Pulp board that I discovered that the Matchbox version of the Snow Trac comes out at about 1:60, depending which dimension you measure.

Interesting methinks, as with some fixes they might serve as small, 4 man off roaders.

So, I've bought a few on eBay (about £4 inclu shipping) to see what I can do with them.  I've bought play worn examples with missing tracks as I will repaint and I am also thinking of replacing the wheels and tracks with something less toy like.

Bit of an update for those interested in such things 

..... with mould making now resolved the ICE troopers (and some other restocks) have been cast. Yay! They do need de-spruing, bagging and adding to the website but release is very close.



There's about 6kg of metal in this lot. 

I am negotiating wifely permission to spend more time on this tomorrow .....

Aren't you tempted just to keep them all for yourself?!

That'd be a lot of painting....

Nice lead pile there Steve.

Regarding your dog's, any chance for a cattle dog/blue heeler? Ie mad max?
Cheers

Bloody hell, mate!

That is one serious pile of lead, sir.
It would make a for a serious pile of zeds.

@Matt
That's a possible.  Do you have an image of the pose etc you have in mind? I'd like to add a couple more to the pack.... Rottweiler and terrier spring to mind but a cattle dog strikes me as a robust pa survivor as well!

@Paul
Haha.  What's the typical ratio of Zeds to survivors in a typical game .... 10:1?  That'll be about 3000 Zeds for the horde then!  I think I'd need a bigger tabletop  

Btw I've also been growing the fleet of diecast vehicles ready for a table expansion next year and also working on a conversion kit for the Matchbox Snow Trac (casts for replacement track units, an add on for the rear end and an add on for the roof, which will make it 1/56.... The diecast is a hotchpotch of scales but the width is already 1/56th!).  I'm aiming for all the vehicles to be 1/56th but have gone as wide as 1/54 to 1/58 where it still works. I have been pleasnantly surprised by the range of vehicles that are available.

[Raxxus]

Well, for the zeds you could have special rules with less of em like a die roll for headshots etc..

Awesome progress of this brilliant project. I admire how you can stay on track!!! 

[Silent Invader]

Thanks guys

@Jonas
It helps to stay on track when their are customers!
