Help: How to Build a Future Car?
« on: 18 October 2014, 07:54:32 AM »
I've always wanted to do a 2000AD board but I've now discovered, in my planning for one, that it seems difficult to source decent hover/concept/future style cars to populate the table!!! :'( Antenocities used to do some great ones, but they seem to have stopped their line! !

I like the idea of vehicles of this kinda style.....





 



So my question is, apart from getting the things 3D printed, does anybody have any suggestions how to build the dam things?!?! :?......or even sources of reasonably priced, suitable models?

Thanks in advance,
                                 Andy

You can try taking a toy car, take the wheels out and putty in the wheel arches. I've done something similar and placed some small wooden balls in the wheel arches as a hover car. There are also a few model concept cars out there, they might be worth trying to hunt down.

A reasonably priced set of vehicles, they sell them in various size sets or individually. They also have lots of other vehicles on their site.

You should have asked last weekend mate  ;)

Converting toy cars with your gs skills would do the job though  8)

Where were those hover cars that Matakishi had from? Were they the old Antenociti range? They were smart.

Do you need them in 28mm or in 15mm? For 15mm, there are some very nice ones out there, e.g. by Darkest Star Games, Khurasan and Critical Mass.

28mm always!!!!! ;) God's scale!! ;)

They were the old Antenocities cars Steve. That's the ones I was looking for. They'd look the part in my opinion.....





Out of the stuff that's still on their website,  the taxi has potential. ...



.....but I don't like the sports cars! There's something not quite right about them. Too cartoony maybe?

Really?

Is this connected to next year's BLAM in any way....?

If it is we should try to make our games 'look' compatible as my effort for next year also involves MC-1*.

How about a mash-up using parts from Disney's Cars and Planes?
My LAF Gallery is HERE
Minis (foot & mounted) finished in 2025 = 74
(2024 = 38; 2023 = 151; 2022 = 204; 2021 = 123; 2020 = ???)
