O I know the golden rule is to not mix scales, but that is exactly what I am going to do, with 1/48 trucks and the smaller 1/55 cars. Here's hoping with enough rust they will all blend together and look ok.

To be honest, because of the way they make cars, 'mixing scales' is I think inescapable.

Steve and MOJO give great service and have one of the most reasonable 'buy this amount for free shipping' policies in the entire field of vendors.

No probs regarding missing the notice but hopefully what I wrote might be useful to someone else  .  ;

I completed the Disney Pixar Cars Sheriff for my Post-Apocalyptia. The size is alright on this one I think, so I am not going to base it. But the poor sherif has a dilemma now. Should he go home to grab some goggles before heading out on patrol???



Blinky Bill (Black Scorpion) and Fumiko (Hasslefree) setup some newly accuired tents out in the wastes. (They are vacuum formed styrene purchased from Scavenge Skirmish Survive Steve). They didn't have much detail to speak of apart from a front door space, but they painted up easily enough. (They are a different manufacturer to Dr Crazy Viking's "hello pussy" ones). Adding guy ropes would improve them vastly, but I kept them simple to prevent breakages from a certain ham fisted oaf that lives in my house and likes to break my toys.



The set comes with all 4 tents. The variety of shapes are nice.





Fumiko found a tent in the Superdooper Mart that hadn't been used for half its life. She thought the safety orange went well with her blue vault suit and decided to put it to use.

The weathering on that Old Bill motor is gorgeous, mate.
Just gorgeous.
 


I do think Bill might find boggles more than a little useful, though.
 

Those tents came out mighty fine too.

Great stuff, love the weathering

Yes. and a precaution against any other gamers with high clumsiness stats.

Thanks chaps for looking and appreciating the work! Thanks messy, anyone better be careful around the cleanup teams I have a game on this evening I'm hosting

Cheers

Cars Sheriff and DB5(modified) with Tamiya 1/48 Grief and 32mm Black Scorpion.


The Cars Finn McMissile was rather close to the DB5, I added some greenstuff to the front and plasticard to bring it a little closer to the classic Aston Martin. I learned from the goggles of my recent updated DUST troopers, and extended the method to paint the windshield and headlights. I would like to get some custom "BMT" numberplate transfers and "GB" made up to finish off Mr Bond's vehicle.

The Hydra Enclave has been spotted using Power Armour wielding rockets and Laser Gatling guns.





These Heavy DUST Troopers were a large experiment. I looked at some tutorials on source lighting (especially from Massive Voodoo) and tried to use layers to give a glow from the laser weapons and powered suits. It comes off for tabletop painting, but I need to be a little smoother with the technique and wont be winning any awards. Does it work? What do you think? Perhaps I need to blacken the end of the rocket barrels and show heat colour distortion on the laser gun. We all know "that Lasers get hot Daddy".

As always C&C is welcomed

Nice! That DB5 especially,have to roam Woolworths now

[Constable Bertrand]

Roam away Wolf, but you'd be better off buying a DB model as it has more detail - you already have the maserratti and Bentleys. The Cars range is cheapish at $6-$10 each or in eBay lots, and there are some nice classic cars available.

Some have modeled eye lids, but others have flat painted Windows, either diecast or a plastic insert. The db5 was a flat plastic insert.

Wow, some really stellar work in here. Between the Brahmin, tents and awesome vehicle conversions and paintjobs I'm not at all surprised the Captain made an appearance.
A very inspiring log!

[Mason]

More awesomeness from Down Under!
 

Love the DB5, nice subtle weathering job.
 

Not a fan of those DUST wotsits but you have brought the best out of them.

Thanks Gargobot, that's very kind. I just cannot help myself really, and model/paint whatever I am in the mood, the wild western post apocaliptic retro sci-Fi is a very broard genre After watching Cap, I knew he needed a place on the setup.

Thanks Paul, I thought I'd spare the DB5 from deteriation and oxidisation, it's certainly the cleanest kit around town

Paul did you research those cars for your imagination yet? Did you Nick your nephew's toys?

How is the light source painting on the dust whatsits? Any tips or pointers?

Cheers

[Constable Bertrand]

A box arrived today, via BlackWolf. Cheers mate!



And two pixar cars weathered WIPs from the workbench. The photographer managed to get Landon Ricketts in shot with his ye-old camera.



Better pics to come when they are finished.
