Custom VW Beetle for the Apocalypse - Gaslands Conversion 2

Hey dudes,

I converted and painted this next car in the same theme as the Monster Truck I did (the beginnings of a team?), it's for the post-apocalyptic miniatures game, Gaslands, which uses base Hot Wheels or Matchbox 1/64 cars that are up to you to customise.

I did a fair bit with this car and am quite happy with how uniform it looks as a finished product. I cut the stock car apart and ground out the rear engine cover section (see the standard car photo below), I then made up a custom back end and fit the engine of another Hot Wheels kit to the back of it. I did a bunch of custom plasticard work including extra armour, a roll cage and the bit I love the most, a sprint car style wing.

I added a few other little touches of mesh and what not before priming the whole thing and getting the paint work underway. 

The Hot Rod that's also photographed primed is up on the bench next as well as a 'War Rig' and a few cars for the next team. 

Loving this, it's a nice little break from the normal stuff and my wallet loves it too! It's pretty much the only mini war gaming I can still afford to do at the moment being that I can't work until I have and recover from the spinal surgery.










Thanks for checking in,

Jackie

Deus Bellum - God of War - Legio Vulpa Command Group Alpha.

Hey y'all, I've still been chipping away at Adeptus Titanicus stuff. I really freaking love this game and was lucky enough to get a spot to go and play at Act of Heresy V in January so wanted to get everything finished and ready for the event. I wrote a short piece for each of the Titans and created a Princeps for them, I'll open batting with the big kahuna, Princeps Maxima Dhrykax in his Warlord Titan, the Deus Bellum. I normally go small time with my character creations (Sergeants, Lieutenants, Centurions and the like) but because it seems that I'm one of the only guys on the planet who's really committed to Legio Vulpa from the game release, I've gone big and named the boss himself. I doubt Black Library or the Forgeworld Specialist Games team will ever swing back around to them again and they've had their moment in the sun with Titandeath so I'm going to develop more of the back story and own the Legio one bit of narrative at a time.

Acastus Knight Porphyrion COMPLETED!!!!!

Acacstus Knight Porhpyrion, easily the biggest and most complex kit build and paint job I have ever done for a gaming miniature. I'm really happy with the result but the 60 hrs I spent on getting it finished kinda baked my noodle. I have no idea how the titan painters get through it! Anyway here are some studio shots, let me know what you think!

Adeptus Titanicus - Legio Vulpa and House Makabius

Yoyo, Ive got some finished pics of my Warlord Titan, Nuntio Dolores, based off the featured titan in the Black Library Novel, Titandeath, released earlier this year. I actually finished it a couple of months ago but I forgot to upload photographs here.. I've also just put the finishing touches on a Questoris Knight banner from House Makabius (Same as my 28mm house) to join the big fella.
