Elk and Hupp, it is black basecoat, a whitegrey drybrush and then a brown wash, some places heavy, other places light. Really simple, nothing shocking, made for speed.

There you go mate, the Disney Cars work a treat don't they! Very inspired covering Maters huge chompers with groundwork and papers, I have resisted that car due to the excessive mouth, but your conversion works well.

Cool billboards too!

Cheers
Matt

Strong work on what you have done so far!

Marx makes a set of future cars that work nice for Fallout. I think there are some people who have used them and posted photographs here of them. You can find them on ebay and they are not too expensive.

Hope you are feeling better after your accident!

Awesome stuff.
Looks like a blast to make.

Those Cars cars really do the trick.

Thx Darkoath, but the last time I saw the Marx cars for sale people were asking 15 dollars a piece for them!

That's why I went for the 2 euro Cars cars instead.....

Well, hopefully this is more impressive

This fridayevening 18:00 18-12-2015, just arrived by mail.

Not a bad paintjob. Pity about the decals being badly applied. So, black basecoat, Olive Drab PSC spray, full speed weathering a must-be done-in-a-single-weekend deadline. Net result is this:

Intended for Fallout, but hey, Rogue Trader, Inquisimunda, you name it, it works.

Excellent work!
I've got that downed plane in a box. Wasn't sure how I'd paint it. Now I'm considering going copycat

Gunbird · « **Reply #37 on:** December 21, 2015, 02:17:02 PM »

Well, it works quite well I think, so feel free to copy as much as you want

Dang, that's a perfect use of that 40k terrain, and painted to fit the part of some weird USAAF experimental fighter or something. I'm gonna see if I can find one on the cheap at some point.

I've been looking at what I can do at my current skill level with a minimum of funds and my limited mobility. I narrowed it down to a few scenes, and I'm starting with a Drive In movie theatre. First up is the movie screen itself. Due to storage limits, it is limited to a 14x20m screen, on a minimal but sturdy base. Framework is again from sateh sticks and coffee stirrers, with a plasticcard board. I folded the paper for the projection screen several times and then dunked it in coffee twice to bring out the lines. Then some weathering with grey inks, nothing more.

I then took some time to make a scaffold at the back with a little shack, and a very dodgy ladder that will never pass any Health & Safety inspection.

Now, over at the Guild, there is a Winter themed speed build going on till the 6th of January. It took me some brainstorming to fit Winter into the Fallout setting. In the end I settled for a Snowglobe. At this point, I should have googles Snowglobe+Fallout, but I didn't, so I went with the based sphere kind I knew from my childhood.

It is meant to be Vault Boy, complete with 111 on his chest, in between 2 pine trees, painted in one go (unlike the ball itself which took 5 tries, 4 of them ending up somewhere in my room after being violently displaced when I slipped my fingers....) with my smallest brush. Sorry, I was not able to paint snowflakes.

And yes, it does look a lot like a Pokeball!

Ooooh man. Oh man oh man oh man oh man. That shack idea is killer. Very jealous I didn't think of it.

Vault Boy, I choose you!

I love the screen, but you have got to get paint on that Orc Pilot! Kromlech does some great stuff, don't they?

pocoloco · « **Reply #43 on:** January 05, 2016, 07:50:34 AM »

Lots of great inspirational pieces here! And I love them all so far

Keep them coming!

That was the first that sprung to my mind too.
It must be true then that great minds think alike

That screen is mighty fine but the shack makes it a winner.

BTW : wouldn't it be preferable to shoot a hole through the screen so one could observe whats happening in front of it while hiding in the shack?
