The week that was

Hello! This week after completing my night shifts  I've managed to prime all my miniatures that I built last month and can now start painting them! First up I grabbed several British Napoleonic line infantry.

Red jackets!

Using the box art and some Google images I tried my best to get as close as a representation as I can.

You'll notice 2 Brown bases in the group this is because I ran out of green paint! Turns out I preferred the brown so I repainted the lot brown added some flock and tufts. 

First group done

I think they look really good (well for my standards anyway!).
Also mentioned in my last post my new game rules Gaslands.  Using an online car builder I've come up with 2 teams. I have acquired 4 hot wheels cars and need 1 more for the teams to be ready . In Gaslands  you use cans to buy stuff and the usual team is 50 cans. So I have a team sponsored by Slime  (angry violent youths mainly) which has a pick up truck and car. The pick up truck has got a HMG and a machine gun plus a ram and nitro boost. The car will have  a rear machine gun.

Slime Pick Up truck

The ram is made from old chaos chain axes and chaos monster horns. The rear extras are from random bits of old dreadnought in my bits.  Now to find a car to complete the slime team.
The other team is sponsored my Idris, this team worships speed so I needed rapid cars for this. I also wanted the Mustang from the Death Race film . A very kind person in the Facebook group who has already done this car sent me there wip photos to help me. To back up the Mustang I've added 2 buggies to the team. Lightly armoured and equipped but lightning quick. One has a machine gun the other has a caltrop dropper.  The mustang will be the heavy hitter of the team with a mini gun and oil dropper. I've completed one buggy. It's It's little bit out there but get its a post apocalyptic game so I can go crazy.

The Hot wheels car is a good buggy with a huge engine! I added some mesh across the doors and again using bits of old dreadnought I made a caltrop dropper which fitted very nicely in the golf bag holder.
The the other buggy as of last night has a machine gun on it andnis ready for priming. The mustang was a bit tricky to find as I needed the correct model. After a few unsuccessful searches in the local you shops I found my 4yr old son had one under his bed! After a hard negotiation I acquired the Mustang (fear not my son got 2 New hot wheels cars so he was happy ). This will be quite a test for me as I have to make the armour plates as close to the real thing as possible.

Obviously the car will not look as good as the one above but I'm going to try my best. 
That's it for now, hopefully this week I'll get more like infantry done and the other buggy painted.
Have a great day folks!
