Post-apocalyptic marketplace project

[James Holloway]

I'm really pleased with how he came out. I've got three more on the go at the moment:



As for the others, I might get some corpse markers or similar out of them; they're not great.

[James Holloway]

The stalls are now half done! Here's the second:



The base of the stall itself is a pile of dominoes (£1 for two boxes at The Works), with the usual collection of odds and ends from the bits box. The sign at the back is a mast from a Man O' War ship, glued into a wooden jar or vase from Hobbycraft.

And here's the two stalls together:



I also completed a few more characters to hang out in the market:

Really inspiring topic. I love picking out little bits from my collection and seeing how you've used them so much better than I have! Where did you get those army men from? Can never have enough corpse marker fodder and for £1!

[Dr. The Viking]

Ah what a nice level of detail and wonderful ideas for a P.A. market.

Well done!

Poundland, I believe. I mean, they're not perfect -- scratch that, they're terrible, and the plastic is a pain to work with -- but y'know. I guess frugal gaming is my thing.

Great log, really inventive and fun!

James Holloway, you will need to build a bar/tavern/cantina/water hole to go with that market! 

[James Holloway]

Liiiiike this one?



I intend to expand Wildsnake Charlie's with an outside bar, grill and seating area.

There was another thread on here where someone was making Germy-inspired post-apocalyptic buildings, but now I can't find it. Anyway, I'm doing a set of my own and I am very pleased that I realised you can use the offcut bits from making windows and doors as connectors that allow you to extend walls. That was probably obvious to everyone else, but I take my wins where I can get 'em.

YESSS!!!

Can I book a table?

BTW: those "PA Mordheimers" are PERFECT! 

[Lau]

really nice army men conversions! looking forward to see more of them! Impressive that they look så cool, after the paint job!

[Askellad]

Wonderful ideas with army men 

[James Holloway]

Glad you guys like them!

Dinohunterpoa, yeah, the Mordheim mercs are such good basis for conversions -- bits of them must turn up in everything I've made. The head and club arm on the left-hand guy are from a flagellant kit, I think.

In the background of my 40K setting, the indigenous humans of Petersen's World -- contemptuously called "Petes" by the Imperials -- have a medieval culture similar to Earth's Viking age. This was my excuse for using a lot of Viking models as natives. As Imperial presence and technology disrupts their way of life, many young Petes have moved to the Imperial-dominated cities, finding low-paid work around the docks. In the shanty towns, poverty and desperation mix with the tribal warrior ethos to produce violent gangs, like the two Petes seen in that photo.

And, of course, they make final brutal post-apocalyptic warriors without all that context.
