Awesome fluff/background!  ;)

Progress! Another stall for the market.



That just leaves one of the stalls I built over Christmas, and then I can start thinking about other elements to add.

"Relics of a Bygone Age" is a SUPERB title for a book/movie/progressive rock album!!!  ;)

Also saying "relics" covers up the fact that the poor vendor thinks the other word is pronounced "ann-te-kyoos."

I love this project, the way you are fitting in such an eclectic mix of figures that all seem to work so well together.

Thanks! Here, have another piece from yet another manufacturer! These barrel fires are from Wargames Terrain Workshop. They come in semi-translucent yellow resin; I primed and painted the barrel bits and gave the tips of the flames a bit of a red wash. Not bad at Ł1 for two barrels.

I've been quiet for a while (busy time at work) but I'm back! Here are a few new characters for the marketplace.

These models were a gift from Mason, and represent a merchant and his porters, arriving at the market after their long journey across the wastelands:


The barrels are from Ramshackle Games.

Here's a closeup of the guy with the yoke:

I'm thinking of adding a doctor's clinic to the marketplace, so here's a doctor, recently acquired from the LAF bits exchange:


And another guard made from a plastic army man:


Whew!

That is pretty much what I'm going for.

Another model from the LAF bits exchange and another container from Ramshackle. Flanked by her warbot bodyguards, an android princess haggles for valuable spices with a wealthy merchant.

(I guess this is a bit more sci-fi than post-apocalyptic, but the android is originally a Gamma World figure from 1983, so that's post-apocalyptic, right? Right.)

So she's a Gen 2 Synth that achieved sentience.  No big.

Still loving what you're doing here.

I think it's totally 80s HEAVY METAL MAGAZINE!

In other words: AWESOME!  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
