One of the enduring themes in post apocalypse imagery are burnt out cars and I'm keen to recreate this is in my own miniature post-apocalyptic world.
Burnt out cars help to 'populate' and humanise Modern and Post Apocalyptic tabletops whilst also providing very useful blocks to observation and cover from fire. Yesterday lunchtime I was lucky enough to come across some incredibly cheap toy cars in the 99p store behind our office.
Not only were the toy car sets 99p at normal prices but the shop was closing down and clearing stock - everything was 50p! 
I bought the remaining three sets to use as abandoned and rusted wrecks, impromptu barricades and possibly a post-apocalyptic combat post inspired by the beautiful Sniperwrecks on the Black Primer Paint blog.Cheers

Those are gonna look ace!
ReplyDeleteAre they the right size for 15mm? Might check if the 99p store in Cov has some...

Close enough Rob, that's a GZG New Israeli in the bottom photo.

Easy to paint too, since everything is Sepia toned in the post-apoc future. Just ask anyone who has ever played Fallout 3.
ReplyDeleteSo you always carry some test 15mm minis with you in your pocket Mark ? :D
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing how these turn out!
ReplyDelete- "So you always carry some test 15mm minis with you in your pocket Mark?" -
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough yes. I keep an unreleased Critical Mass Games "Star Bastard" in my overcoat ticket pocket and there's an ex-MJ Space Trooper blu-tacked to my PC Monitor, for those emergency "that Xerox cardboard packaging will make a great missile silo" moments.
Cheers
