Plast Craft Games Post Apocalypse Trailer Gas station

Guess my super mutants are poor green trash now. Built another Plas Craft Games preprinted terrain kit. This is a bit earlier kit than that Urban Range house kit and the quality isn't as good in the printing sharpness or ease of construction. Is an interesting design with the curved roof and sides of the caravan though it's massive compared to scale. I used a hair dryer to try and help with curving the panel as I glued them on but the bottom of the wrap around bit melted a bit like a shrinks dink which is annoying but what can you do. Lots of areas needed painting since the print is one sided. Need to paint the inside wall of the side shack bit with the open door.

Reaper Troll to Fallout Behemoth

Got the idea to go through my Reaper bones minis that so far I haven't done much with and think of ways to use them for TNT or other games I'm more likely to play than DnD. The big troll caught my eye as a huge super mutant in waiting. I cut off his axe and dril through his hand to put in a bit of sprue. I cut off some spikes from the armour and added a bunch of half tires made from rolling the grip of a sculpting tool over green stuff then cutting it into strips. Looks a fair bit like tires to me. Will see after they're painted I guess. Also had a go at sculpting a VW badge on his chest. Will be adding some plates and wires poking out later. Was considering a scratchbuilt car door as a shield on the left arm. Now the question is what to turn that sprue into? A big ramshackle club? Should I make it into a street sign? Or put a fire hydrant or engine block on the end as a hammer?







Tried out some instant mold last night and some green stuff push casts of a stop sign and shopping trolley then got a bit carried away with bolts and spikes and detailing the super mutant and more time making a fancy base. Cutting individual bolt heads from plastic sheet was probably a bit nuts but I love the detail it adds so it was worth it.

Reaper Cleric to Post Apoc Trader

Another post apoc mini from an innocent bones mini, saw this guy on the rack at the LFG con on the weekend so had a dig through my bones to see if I had him then hacked which I did. So cut off his club and legs and did some sculpting, then added a M16 to his back from wargames factory. Bit of dental floss with superglue for the ribbon. Got him primed so will post when he's done. He'll be one of my traders.

Telegraph Poles Terrain

I've wanted telegraph poles for my urban terrain for years but lack of O scale stuff locally has made it tricky. After contemplating how hard it would be to just make my own while stuck at traffic lights I finally just hit up the craft store to get some 6mm dowel and some slightly thicker stuff at the dollar store. Sooo here's the recipe. Dowel, match sticks, tiny glass beads, plastic rod or wire, and some thin card from food packaging.

I cut the dowel to about 16-17cm long then bashed the top a bit with a hammer cause poles look like that. Next cut down the match sticks to 3.5cm. I had tried drilling through the match sticks to secure the insulators but it kept splitting so instead I just superglued on the beads directly, then put in some bits of plastic rod, a drop of glue to secure them. Then cut a square of card then halve that and cut out the middle to get the thin L bracket. Glue that to the side of the sticks then a drop of glue on the middle of the stick and L bracket and stick it onto the pole. Do that twice. Worth mention a lot of poles have 3 then 4 insulators for some reason and usually alternating left and right for which side has two. Lastly glue the pole down to a heavy base like an MDF base or washer.

Trash Bags terrain

GAH RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!

Followed a tutorial on how to make tiny garbage bags, using double layer squares of actual garbage bags wrapped around small rocks, tied, then trimmed. With a dot of superglue to make sure the knot doesn't come undone.

Reaper Gladiator to Post Apoc Raider Boss

You ever get really involved in a conversion and you're also baby sitting the nephews so you keep going and going and going. Another fantasy Bones mini turned into a post apocalyptic mini. This time from a pin headed gladiator to a chainsaw spear wielding raider brute or boss. Of course after my sister picked them up at about 1.30 am and I took some photos it occurred to me I should have put him on a bigger base so why wait till morning when you can hack at it now and get more superglue all over your fingers.

Brother Vinni's Fallout miniatures

Got some nice micro arts scrapyard bases so finally sat down to clean up and assemble my Brother Vinni minis. Had to make my own 50mm base for the Sentry Bot, think I matched the scrapyard style bases fairly well with some scrap mdf, some gears, sprue, guitar wire, resin off cuts and some plastic sheets

Some pinning required on a few of them. Added some detail to the tops of the power armour laser rifles. Also sculpted a bandana on my Dogmeat and a bit of hair detail on the sniper girl. Also modded the Mr Handy giving him a claw and a saw using a watch gear. Antennas on the eyebot are guitar wire. Need to make up some bases for the last power armour and Mr Handy
