Awesome work on the Heavy Mob!

As for Things 1 and 2- I don't believe you actually made and painted them- the yellow, weathering and rust are too good. No, I prefer to believe that you built full scale items, left them in your back garden for seven years and invented a smallifying ray in the meantime and shrunk them down to 28mm.

Really spectacular work- incredibly detailed and realistic!

Thanks Meer_Cat, way too kind, and thanks all for the kind comments. More Junktown residents in the works and appearing here soon!

Exquisite masterclass scenery, great modelling and neat paintjobs. This have the touch of a genius!

Many thanks KN. Too kind.

A few more residents for Junktown in this update. I need to balance number of buildings with people.

Excellent work.

Thanks Stevo!

Next WIP.

I want to build a group of female scrap hunters who operate with much lighter equipment, looking for only the really high tech stuff. I'm going to to use a few of the old Rogue Trader Ork bikes and wartrakks and see if I can get them looking believably post apocalyptic. First one here.

Great stuff here, excellent thread

It's a lot of fun seeing your beautiful Junktown becoming more and more populated now

Well I haven't checked in for a while and you have been busy mate, I think you single handily are building the apocalyptic world.

Your paint work is rather splendid as well, especially loving the check shirt detail subtle and effective.

Now that is some clever work taking that rogue trader bike and somehow giving it a new lick of life, the load out really gives it a more up to date look and fits so well into the Apoc universe.

Latest WIPs. My Lady-scrappers crew takes shape with some more vehicles and a few more figures (from Raging Heroes).

That's some cool scavenging vehicles there....

Brilliant stuff impressed by the number of civilians you have found.

Raging Heroes Jailbirds for the win! Fantastic 'wasteland scavenger' vehicles- too much fun!

Hey, @Clanmac, what wargames rules do you tend to use for this post-apoc setting? I've tried a whole bunch and have never really found any that are satisfying.

Also, imagine that I praised the hell out of your work again and noted that I recognise a whole bunch of these figures. Assume that I have also made threats to hunt you down as steal your things. ^_^

Ok, I need to know where those buggies came from? They will find a home on my wasteland as well!

Great use of the old Ork bikes! Goes to show, NEVER throw anything away!

Er...and a month later he replies. Sorry! Work has eaten my life and time.

Rules. Had a similar experience so waiting for the new Modiphius fallout rules to see what they are like. Also toying with whether to try and modify Spectre Operations. Adding wasteland extras is the easy bit.

Threat gratefully received!

The buggies are from lots of places. Puppetswar buggy with Old Crow wheels (the one that looks a little like a VW beetle)

And now to remedy my very long absence, my latest bit of Junktown Madness, the Butcher Shop. Everyone needs meat, right...

Help yourself to Land-shark, tunnel squid, Sting-tailed rad-runners, carniverous slugs, or for the fussy eater, beef, pork and goat (no accounting for tastes).

It's great to see you back creating your amazing junk town! Any plans for mutated livestock, like brammin?

Not sure my greenstuff skills are up to the task. I am very tempted by some of Armorcast's Brahmin but cost to send just them to UK is a little prohibitive.

That's looking cool.

Where to start. I love the first junktown shop. It has so much detail. The best things I like is the various robots. Each one has so much character. It is the most creative thread I have seen on dakka so far.

Welcome back, Clanmac! Truly a diverse menu for a sophisticated clientele!

Too kind P5. I like making this stuff. Just pleased you like looking at it!

A few pics of my random container houses, which I realised I hadn't posted. Machine shack, stilt house and a couple of others plus a comms point.

All very excellent!

Several years ago, I was part of a security detail for a UN project that tried to incentivize Wealthier nations to make homes and businesses out of shipping containers and sponsor small businesses and families in poorer nations- particularly Africa- to use them. Your models are exactly how they ended up- except Junktown is better kept. Part of the problem is no one thought how hot steel containers get, with no reliable electricity and/or air conditioning. (Sigh) The powers that be meant well, I guess.

Ages since I last posted. I've now completed some of my Lady Scrapper vehicles and the first crew woman for one of the bikes.

Herbie:




Herbie with scrap hunting stores:





The Outrider





Outrider with Salvager Bot






Lady Scrapper No1 with Quad Bike

These are great! Nice to see you posting again

Haven’t been around lately and to be honest thought you would get sick of me keep saying great model ha ha

You should get paid by companies for using their stuff as every time you do something I want to buy it, perfect example the junkers void vehicle hated the look of that model but now I am like I could do with one of them ...... damn you

Also love the raging hero conversion for the rider works so well, looks quite a casual pose as if she is about to raise up a bit to look through the binoculars.

Have you used old crow wheels on the puppetswar truck by chance, hey I got a couple of those Gecko models in the end as well so that’s your fault ha ha ha

Keep up the amazing work buddy

Thanks LDD, good spot on the Old Crow wheels. Yes, they are from a Gecko!

I always thought the junkers vehicles had some potential - I've got about five of them so I need to make them work. Another one is on the bench as part of the Lady Scrappers crew so we'll see how that one turns out. Need to get a couple more of the Jailbirds finished. I've got another two almost done but keep getting distracted.

You get distracted noooooo

I don’t know why but the junkers vehicles always had something that didn’t quite work for me, never figured out what it was but they are growing on me now.

Good luck with getting the jailbirds done before you ....... o look something shiny and chrome over there ........

All vehicles are good, but that last quad-bike is outstanding... even before accounting for its driver. Amazing dirt, sir!

The latest bit of Junktown - the Butcher Shop. All manner of wasteland delights available. Land Shark (head or steaks), Rad-Runner, tentacly thing and the more conventional pork, beef/one-headed brahmin and goat. It's all good as long as you cook it long enough....and don't actually eat it.

Awesome and creepy (as usual)! When butcher "wears" assault rifle - he means business. Both thumbs up, sir!
