I've been adding odd bits here and there to some new vehicles for post-apoc games.

This is my progress so far:

This is a Grendel(?) resin buggy. All I did was to replace the gun turret with a roof rack and various bits of gear.

This is a heavily modified buggy based on a Matchbox toy I got from Toys'R'Us some time ago. Once again I've added assoted junk, fuel drum, jerrycans, etc.
The original version (repainted red) can be found here: http://www.combatzonechronicles.net/cozox/rode3.htm

This is one of 2 toy buses I bought on Ebay from the USA. (Postage was almost as much as the items, but still wasnt too expensive)
The main body is Diecast whilst the chassis and "glass" is plastic. First thing I did was to take it apart.
This was fairly easy as its held together with a couple of screws. The windows will be left unglazed in the final bus.

I sculpted a driver, using the lower half of a figure I butchered for another project. with a Westwind spare head.
The roof rack was added and again more junk, this time covered over with Greenstuff tarpaulins.
The front fighting position is pastic card, balsa and 2 doors from a diecast car. I think the dover blade is GW.

Apart from the driver nothing is glued in place yet as I need to paint the driver and bus interior.

I will add more WIPs as I go along....

They look very nice! Though in black the pictures aren't always that clear. I would love to see them painted

And that Grendel buggy looks very nice BTW

Don't forget to check out Ramshackle Games. They have a pile of vehicles and accessory kits that are great for this sort of thing

Sorry for the threadomancy, but I finally finished one of the vehicles.
Lots of excuses for the delay, LPL2, work, life, apathy, shiny new toys, etc

Here is the finished version of the bus.
Ready to hit the wide open post-apocalyptic roads or fight its way through the Downtown mass of Zeds....

I went for a cobbled together look and I'm pretty pleased how it came out.
The protection for the windows and wheels is a mix of various plastic card, balsa, hatch from a GW Rhino(?), etc

No progress on the other 2 vehicles as yet, just give me another 3 months or so......

It'll be well worth the wait!

Outstanding work on that bus. That's going to be awesome for a zombie game or two..dozen.
