The Scruntian Slavers (my ongoing Post Apocalyptic project)

[Dr. The Viking]

I'm working away on stuff to use in "post apocalyptic whatever". I've settled on a "scruntian" slave train with Texas Scrunts from Bob Olley. They basicly raid places for slaves, sell them off or let them work their oil pumps.

All of this is still WIP and well... will hopefully cease to be at some point!


A scrunt, his trusty chain shotgun and a wasteland hero of some sort

Mutated pigs are common in the post apocalyptic world. Mutated bacon is to the future citizens what russian caviar is to us today (that is expensive and odd..).

The idea behind this robot is a "vault helpbot" - I figure some welding and lifting operatiosn could be handled by this beast.

These are 4 more savages in the making. Yup - toothpick wielding maniacs! Watchout! Kaching!
This biker is obviously going to be called pinhead. I chose the small head quite deliberately. It's my sense of humour I think.
 My favorite monster so far! Some of the more finished scrunts..
As you can probably see I'm not too consistent in the quality of the paintjobs. I tend to slob it on plastics and use more energy on the models I like... I wind up with a selection of really differently painted models but hey - I had fun in the process. And please mind you that it's still all WIP.

I've been as lucky as to get a big of miscast stuff from Ramshackle really cheap too. I think it's really brilliant stuff! I've been toying away at combinations with the parts I've bought and so far I've come up with some utter basics of my slave train. There'll be two of the "carts" shown here and they'll be for living quarters. On top they'll have a RCW style turret I think. The sides will feautare boiler plate and gun/lookout holes.




This small buggy I just couldn't resist. It'll have a front mounted MG. I think it should be fast and good for racing down savages and pacifying them until the other scrunts can get their asses to them.





My oldest son wrecked his monstertruck and I have now inherited it... I am not really sure what I wanna turn it into yet. But I'm leaning toward "opentopped with two crew and a frontgun... and prison cabin in back". It just needs and lot of work and it'll be a happy ending.


Feel free to enlighten me!


PS: Yes I've moved all my crap from the workbench to here... It's not like I'm doing much else than Sci-fi rigth now anyways!

Man thats one cool project, love the whole idea!!!
Cool paint jobs on the scrunts too!!

[Westfalia Chris]

Nice bunch of trash you have assembled there. Not sure about the monster buggy, but that land train looks intriguing. Looking forward to the finished article.

[Darkoath]

I love it!   Can't wait to see what else you come up with!

[TwoGunBob]

There's some grade 'A' awesome stuff in there. Love the land train.

[Ramshackle_Curtis]

Hey really nice stuff Thor! The land train is shaping up.

I must just say though that alot of the stuff shown is from abig box of misscsts I sent out, so dont take all the bubbles as standard quality!

[Pil]

Very nice! I really like the simple conversion of the usually quite lame plastic Combat Zone ganger. I love the scrunt with the chaingun and the traffic sign shield too (great idea, might steal it ).

I love the wheels of the monster truck too, though I think a closed top would look a tad cooler

Argh! I'm sorry - I obviously should have stated that! 


In fact considering the "miscasts" I should say that ramshackle has quite a high mark for quality! I have certainly recieved resin as poor as the miscasts...but bought as "new stuff" before!

Hmm.. I can't in all honesty take credit for that idea.. it's quite "universal P.A." I think. I'll be adding more though.. to the brink of sillyness even.

Hmm... it would be kewl with a big MG (think middle east insurgent style) on the back... and well! More stuff!

Who makes the mutated pig figure?

[The Gonk]

Did you ever tell where your "favorite monster" came from?  Looks like a plastic injection-molded toy of some sort.  It is very cool, how does it scale next to the figures?

No the prize is still up for grabs for the first one to guess!   

I'll take in action pictures of it so you can see.

It's one of those jumping things isn't it? You lick the plastic base to stick it and push the monster down on the spring and wait for it to jump, can't remember what thay are called.

Nice work so far.

A toy it is... but give me the exact data and I'll grant you a title (and the promised OOP citadel Orc  )
