Even more Survivors!

Got another four survivors done last night. 

Bow wielding warrior

I think this model is my favourite female survivor. She's just got a bow perfect for silent zombie killing! I love the posing looks like when the apoclyspe happened she was on a night out.

Twin SMGs always fun

This female is a firm believer in spay and pray. Bringing zombies down in a hail bullets. 

She's Got her new favourite toy

This little girl is rocking a pink dress and sparkly wellies for the apocalypse. Well I wanted sparkly wellies but no idea how to do that so I mixed red with my mettalic paint and that looks ok .
She's packing a magnum for staying safe. 

The practical survivor.

This model strikes me as a mom and seems practical.  Sensible shoes and clothes.  Knife and pistol light to carry but deadly against zombies.

That's another junk done. I'm down to my last 4 survivors before the zombies are next

Gasland Death Race Mustang Homage

I love the film Death race (and the other 2 straight to DVDs sequels). So when I discovered Gaslands it was a given I needed to have some kind of death race Mustang.
The search began......

After fruitless searches for the right model mustang (only found one in a set of 10 and didnt need the rest of the others) my son discovered a pile of hot wheels cars under his bed. There like a shiny gold totem was a mustang close enough in model to the one I wanted!! Now the negotiations began with my 4 year old. I traded him 2 new hot wheels cars for the mustang.
Now came the designing part . I asked for helpon the Gaslands Facebook group and the maker of the best death race mustang  I've seen very kindly sent me his working photos he had researched.

I had plenty of pics to work from now. I knew I would never make an exact replica as my skills are not that great but inwould give it a good to. I had some craft foam left over from making my dice tray so decided to use this as armour plating (after a quick test to make sure it can be spray painted).

I cut individual sections out and tried to get them match as best I can.

For the mini guns I was never gonna be able to make them soni ordered some matching scale ones.   Only one fit on the bonnet instead of the 2 fron the movie car.  Still looks good I think

I also added some foam to create the bonnet vent look the car has.
Now it was off to be undercoated

All set to be sprayed

The colour scheme is super simple.  Black with red racing stripes and the edges of the armour plating . A coat of black on top of the black primer and 2 red stripes added.  Then dry brushed metallic paint over the car.  I think it looks great from tabletop distance.

What do you guys think?

More zombie survivors

Got another four survivors done last night.

Police officer survivor

First up is a police officer whose swapped his pistol for an assault rifle.  Much better for keeping order in the apoclyspe.

Ready for anything survivor

This survivor is prepared with his pistol, bat and assault rifle.  Though he saves his assault rifle for emergencies

Also prepared female survivor

Just as prepared comes this lady.  Though preferring 2 pistols instead of a bat.

Chopper Chick!

This lady likes to get up close and personal with her cleaver and machete to save ammunition.

Hopefully get some more painted soon!

My Across the Dead Earth Universe

A recent friends blog about his imagined Necromunda and Mordhiem areas has inspired me to write my own about my imagined Across the Dead Earth area where our games take place.
It's based around Smethwick  (my local area) just on the fringes of Birmingham which is a large settlement in Across the Dead Earth so ties in nicely.

The 'Thorns

This is the remains of a football ground that the survivors have turned into a thriving settlement (Think Diamond City from Fallout 4). Here is where the 78th Smethwick Irregulars base of operations is.

The Thorns

The old pumping station

Dodgy Kens Pumping Station Trading Post

This is a trading post set up in an old canal pumping house  (quite famous round Smethwick). With access to the canals meaning good trading routes between the post and the Rag Market Dodgy Ken can get you always what you want ( Dodgy Ken is an injoke between my friend and I. He is a legendary local shop keeper ☺).

The start of the concrete jungle

Concrete Jungle

No one goes near the Concrete Jungle unless absolutely necessary.  Traders travelling the old railway lines always have extra guards for this section unless they are full of bravado or stupidity.  In the ruined housing estate resides a 'settlement' owned by the infamous Concrete Jungle Savages.  This band of psychos and lunatics pray on the weak and if they outnumber them the strong.

The Valley

The Valley

The Valley is a heavily wooded area right next to the Thorns having overtaken the few industrial units that were between the sports ground and the valley  however the  ruined road that separates the 2 is always kept clear with flames to keep a clear space so the sentries can keep the Forest Kin away. Few enter the Forest and return. The locals know to keep a wide berth and the sentries know to be vigilant all the time for raiding parties. 

Chance Glass Works

Chance Glass Works

In this abandoned factory now settlement reside the raider gang The Coggers. The leader claiming descedency from an old industrial boss guards his territory with a tenacity and brutality. Many a trespasser are found floating in the canal that runs along side the abandoned factory.

The Avery

The Avery

The Avery is a factory complex used by the Engineers Guild as a forward base. Currently inhabited by the Fighting Spanners, they explore the ruins of Smethwick looking for technology and any lost knowledge amongst the ruins of the industrial estates though recently they have started to have run ins with a squad of State troopers who have moved into the area.

The old council house

The Big House

This is the old council house in Smethwick.  The state squad Sector 14 have set up here in their bid to spread the influence of the State over the people of Smethwick but at the moment are struggling with the fiercely independent locals

That's little imagined area of the apocalyspe.
