Great crane.

Good collection of tat.

...Also made another pile of scavenged material - the life blood of Junk Town...

Would be nonsense to ask you how you did collect all that

You must have a huge assortment of spare kits! Wow!

Not nonsense at all - bits is one of my favourite subjects. Have a look back at page 12 on this thread and you'll get a feel for my mania. I tend to scour ebay for cheap bits, stowage, half finished models etc to feed my bits boxes. That and some strategically placed purchases to Crooked Dice, TT Combat, Antenoceti and a few other fine purveyors of boxes, bags and wasteland essentials.

As I cought your thread from p. 30 I now understand that you have answered a similar question many times... I looked back at p. 12

you are a really one-of-a kind bits hoarder! (a bit-maniac?

) You have two eyes for artistry and one of them is very keen

You can turn scrap to eye candy! What more to say?

I've just started painting some LAM Street Judges as my Guard Force for Junk Town. The idea is that the guards are the very heavily armed rock on which most of Junk Town's would-be attackers break.

The figures themselves are perfect - armed and body-armoured to the eyes. They couldn't run anywhere fast but they can soak up and dish out punishment. So... I wanted a couple of vehicles to go with them, just to get around the perimeter junk wall but also to burn, batter and drag away anything that tried to get over the walls. And so I've made Thing 1 and Thing 2, the Guard Force's Quick Reaction Force vehicles. The idea is that they are up-armoured construction vehicles of some kind, so they have a lot of pushing power. I guess it goes without saying they will be battered, burnt and rusty, as befits a vehicle that fights deathclaws, raiders and self-destructing bots.

Vehicles are Ramshackle Rheboks, with an Old Crow turret plus the usual little additions.

This is all so overwhelming... most would be happy with just a fraction of pieces you've finished! Crane on last page is a nice addition.

I'd like to know where did you get that Old Crow turret?

I've had it for years. When Old Crow was still in regular business I spent quite bit of money with them so I have a stash of Old Crow vehicles and bits I can draw on in times of need!

Rumour has it Jez (Old Crow's owner) occasionally still makes pieces if you ask. I asked him a few years ago for a load of vehicles and although it took a little while, he did send me some lovely stuff. May still be worth a try - email is sales@oldcrowmodels.co.uk

Very nice kit.

Nice work.
Those Rheboks really look the business in those pictures.

You’ve taken those Ramshackle vehicles to the next level! The details just make them!

They look amazing.

nice vehicles

your masterfull use of bits seems to get just that bit more out of every model and kit. Also is that brown chain a lego one?

Thanks all,

YPU yes, that is a lego chain. It looks kind of ludicrous at the moment but with a suitable bout of 'rust work' I think I can get it to look like a ship's anchor chain. Something really big and heavy for dragging away oversized raider vehicles that have failed to get through the defences and been fried in the process.

Yes, that is exactly what I was imagining it could work as. The wards and docks around here often have some huge chains lying around.
