Now in the Combat Zone Chronicles: full instructions on how to make your own car wrecks from plaster:

http://combatzonechronicles.net/cozoxb/plastrex.htm

And for your viewing pleasure, here are the pictures that didn't make it to the Chronicles:

My entire collection of 13 wrecks.

A view from the front.

Savage vs. hostage rescue police.

Cop vs. power armour, the wrecks work really well in a maze made of stacks of three

Comments are appreciated of course, enjoy!

Superb, Pil. Thanks for sharing!

You're absolutely welcome, I was amazed at the simplicity of it all too when I first saw Kishkumen's wrecks

These Car Wrecks are a fantastic wall for an improvised fortification. The last human stronghold in a world of Zeds (or Fallout-Style wasteland survivor camps) ! Wow!...must...have...some...

The guy in the red armor is one of Copplestones Future Warriors power armor suits.

Indeed, you can order them here:

Copplestone has some similar models in his range too, here's a front view of the model:

Absolutely capital!

As soon as my re-animated Pulp Aegypt project has been finished (I only need to paint one mini, sand the base of 7 mummies, and paint some encounter markers, plan the layout of the hidden temple and make som floor plans for it) I'll have to turn my attention to modern/NF/ZA/PA again. Lots of potential for Fallout-like junkyards (paint the wrecks all rusty), and slagtowns...

Maybe I should see if I can find the Mad Max movies (never watched any of them.....)?

Thanks for the inspiration!
Currently waiting for some to harden so I can peel the tinfoil...

Bye, Modhail

Cool! Be sure to post your results here

Will do!

Batch number one (done yesterday):

(I spilled some sand in the police car's mold, it's now embedded in the plaster. Hopefully it won't be too noticeable once primered. If it is, I'll just turn it into an old wreck and paint the sand as rust...)

Batch number two was poured this afternoon.
I'm letting them harden at least a week, before I seal them, I don't want to capture too much moisture inside...
(Especially the minivan, that one took quite a bit of plaster...)

Very nice, especially the caravan is a nice touch

I dried my models on a heater, you can feel when the moisture is gone by the weight
