Thanks, Blackstone!
Here are a couple more that should work particularly well for the period




Salvation Army and YMCA Tea Car.

This looks great Mason, looking forward to seing these guys on the table

Inspired stuff mason- an original Zom-apoc setting- well done.

Both Vans are VERY COOL, but as soon as I looked at the Y.M.C.A. one, I had a vision of a Horde of Shuffling Zombies breaking into a Thriller-like song & dance routine to The Village People's song Y.M.C.A....it's good to start the day with a laugh.

EDIT: Forgot to mention. Can anyone recommend any good cheap options for stowage?

Is that Patrick Moore in this picture?

What kind of stowage are you after?

Thanks, mate, so am I!
Playtesting should begin soon.
(As soon as I get a 'victim' or two that has some free time now that the holidays are over... )

Thanks, Rob!
I wanted an excuse to build up the Pulp Era/Strange Aeons collection as well as wanting to do a zombie horde, so this seemed the perfect solution.
Until I have to finished convert several dozen figures that is!

I am glad that made you laugh, Amigo.
To me that just sounds damn scary!
 

Is that Patrick Moore in this picture?

It is the Not-Mr Moore from the Artizan Thrilling Tales range.
In this guise he is THE Minister of Occult Studies (England).




I have another that I am going to convert into a Tommy-gun toting survivor for this project.
 

What kind of stowage are you after?

Basically something that can represent all the stuff that survivors of that era would be hoarding, so jerry cans, parcels, boxes etc.
I am looking for a cheap option that can easily have magnets inserted into to fix them temporarily to the vehicles as and when needed.
That way the cars can see plenty of use in other games too, minus the stowage.

[Hawkeye]

Love the vehicles, Mason, and the miniatures, as always, are top-notch.
The whole idea for the project is one that I've been thinking of for a while - why does the zombie apocalypse always have to be in the present day? Couldn't it have happened in the 1920s or 30s? I'm doing/have started doing a 1920s zombie apocalypse project, but rather boringly it's set in the U.S. The England idea is much better! I'll be following this with interest, to see what I can borrow for my own project, but mostly just to see some nicely painted miniatures and vehicles in a nicely realized setting!

Thank you very much, Hawkeye!
The British 1920's setting was because I wanted to do something different and it seemed like a natural progression due to my Strange Aeons campaign being set in Britain at that time and already having a good basis of material to utilise.

I am interested to see what you will be doing too: Ideas, etc can be stolen both ways!

I am off work next week, so I hope to make a dent in the Zombie pile at the very least.
Playtesting will also begin then, as I can kidnap a coouple of the chaps and make them play Survivors and complain that it is too difficult until I get the balance right....

I recognise those! 

Great job matey.

[Mason]

I recognise those! 

Great job matey.

And so you should, sir!

Thank you for parting with them, they will be well cared for in their new home.
I cannot take responsibility for what may happen to them when they encounter the Afflicted, though.

I'm very slowly trying to put something similar together - dual use VBCW and Cthulhu, utilising some Irish Civil, SCW, and gangster figs, with a strong emphasis on Jeeves and Wooster (and some friends) travelling about battling Hounds of Tindalos while foiling the plans of Roderick Spode. Or 'Professor Plum versus the Nazis of Kadath Parva' as I put it once.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one taking the inter-war years in strange directions. You're an inspiration the already unhinged, sir!

Well, it makes sense to me.
Using the same group of figures you can tie in just about any Pulp-type adventure too.
 

[smokezombie]

And they had some style back then too.

Will be great to hear the results of playtesting. Have you found/done suitable stowage yet?

Is there going to be different types of the 'Affected' with different types of traits or all of them are just same shambling mass?
