Thanks, I think I'll get some Modelmates and experiment.

I cannot recommend them highly enough.
They make weathering vehicles so easy.
And they seem to kill the 'shine' that all die-cast seem to have as well.
Bonus!



It's a shame it's so long until I get to play Strange Aeons  :(

November will be here before you know it.
I am worried that I may not have enough time to get the other half a dozen or so characters done, as I keep getting distracted with other shiny things.
Damn Butterfly Effect!
 ;)



That van advert is actually really appropriate as it shows a couple of kids in a roll-playing game.

I'll get my куртка!

No.
Let me get it for you.
 :D



As promised, here is the last one for the time being...

The Police Car.









Time to sort ot some more miniatures methinks...

Nice police car! These vehicles are really quite superbly done. When I say they're up there with AndyM's that's the highest praise I can give.

Can we not just skip October? Unless you're in Munchen it's a boring month anyway!

Great work again. I didn't get the police car as I got some British ones from this era already. I must get some of this mud and soot stuff then it sounds simple. Did you follow any tutorials?

Damn your eyes sir! I was happy with my shiny, out of the box cars until I saw this!

They do look good. Will have to copy you. Thanks!

Fantastic stuff Paul!

The cars are just pure eye-candy and the Khan and his cohorts as evil minions are a great idea. Keen to see what kind of terrain you will treat us with  ;D

That is a serious compliment, sir.
I must disagree, though, as Andy paints his and I just slap some jollop on and dab most of  it off again.

You should.
It really is as simple as it sounds.
I did watch a quick demonstration at Salute when I bought it,it took no more than a minute or so.
Get it, you wont regret it.

Thanks, J!
It really does make a difference, I reckon.

Thanks, mate!

I will be mostly using my existing terrain, it will be the 'set-dressing', that will make the scene.
These cars should be a good example of the sort of thing I have in mind.

I do intend to build some winding country lanes for this project, though.
They will, of course, be useful in a stack of other situations as well.

Time for another Evil character to give the Agents of M.o.O.S.(E) a hard time.

Many of you will have heard of the worlds No.1 Assassin Francisco Scaramanga, he of the Golden Gun.

Not so many will have heard of the worlds 11th most sucessful assassin, though.
Seeing as it usually the Top 10 of anything that is noticed, those that sit at No. 11 tend to be able to slip[ under the radar a little more easily.




Anyway, at that point in the Assassin Charts we have:

Tristan deTwatt, also known as the Scabby Dangler.



Armed with his heavily customised 'Hairdryer-gun', the Dutch killer blends in seemlessly ( ::)) to his surroundings waiting for the right moment to pounce.

All who know of him fear the Scabby Dangler!

So Laurence Llewelyn Bowen is really an assassin? We think he's hanging curtains but it's really spies!

Mighty fine assassin there! I wonder if they will or have made songs about him like there's about the man with the golden gun? :)

Greegorr's "The Man with the Hand Dryer Gun" failed to make the Moldavian "Super Pop charts Top 37" in December 1984. It was pipped by one position by Olga and the Cheese Maiden's "Ziggy's in love with my goat".

It's a pretty sad tale really.

Very funny (and cool) re-purpose of the Jerry Cornelius figure.
I wish I had your wit.

von Lucky quite obviously knows far too much already.
Beware that knock on the door, the same way that Olga did.

Mr Cornelius looks far to much like a certain British interior designer to not make the transfer.
It simply had to be done.



I will dig out another sample that will be making the transfer to this project tomorrow...
