Finally got some apocalypse work done … I put together the folding drivers windscreen, I just need to make up some brackets from spare PE. And find a lone windscreen wiper…( I hadn’t thought about that )
The windscreen is from the Cr1 transparency sheet, there is an area that was the perfect size
Also attached the winch housing and added an old tow hook …looks ok … and let’s not forget… This is the apocalypse… You’d make do with what you could get your hands on …
I used AK Interactive’s “IDF and Woodland Camouflage” paints and Monument Hobbies paints. Monument Hobbies of the U.S.A. makes some of the best paints but they’re wargaming colors…not military colors.
I still need to wash, shade, highlight, drybrush, ink, and detail paint.
In the wasteland, every commodity and “trash” is precious.
Raider John knows this as he stands over some rusted pipes and parts. These metal parts will have uses elsewhere.
I’m calling this one finished. It’s built OOTB and painted, washed, inked, and drybrushed with Vallejos, Monument Hobbies, and MIG drybrushing paints. The resin pipes were cast by a hired caster for a 1/24 firetruck resin chassis that I never built. The grass tuffs are from Army Painter.
This figure was a quick and fast build and while I could have added pinstripe tape or PE for bedroll straps, I elected not to because of the Masterbox plastic detailing. Overall, it’s a very nice 1/24 plastic Apocalyptic figure kit.
Hello boys and gouls… (couldn’t resist the cliche). My zombie diorama is ready to show. The photos are scattered across my camera and my phone, so it’ll take me a bit to collect them all for upload. This MAIM figure was just too good to pass up. He pretty much dictated the direction that the diorama was going to take.
Thanks John. I’m happy with the wall - first time carving one - but feel it is ever so slightly out of scale. Regardless, I learned a few things from doing it.
Pics of Zombie Dude. I seem to have lost the pics of painting him up. The figure, being 3D printed (?) had a number of “warts” and gates that I left on as they added to the chaos. First time I never having to clean up casting blemishes! But what a great pose.The roots are from my backyard painted with a burnt sienna oil wash, embellished with Noch leaves and static grass,
