Post Apoc Taxi...............nearly complete?
Hi gang taxi up now just the 'harpoon'! gun to fit but i'm knocking up a couple of weapons for other builds all at the same time so i'll update this when it gets fitted............










cheers

AL

Looking good. I really dig those banners, nice touch!

This stuff is great, cheers for the step by step, totally getting stolen somewhere down the line.

I really don't know how you achieve such a realistic finish but I am envious of your talent, with Monkey on the banners really makes the model stand out.

Very cool! I love the Death Race Juggernaut!

cheers guy's for your kind comments, i'm glad your liking the builds.................i do!
lone dirty dog.....I've got talent!............lol cheers mate that is high praise indeed thank you..........................PIGMENTS!..............i love pigments, they really give that 'gritty' effect that i'm after! i couldn't do a clean model! lol plus layers? what i mean by that is i have no problem putting on multi layers and then sanding some back to give the effect of years of different paint jobs and mud/dust/dirt build up over the years on the model at the end of the day these vehicles are working in worlds that have been devastated by some type of 'end of world' event i try to use a lot of techniques from the Scale military modeling community those guys know how to make vehicles look 'real' one of the main things i use, or don't use! lol ....very little in fact almost none? dry brushing i feel it doesn't give the effect i'm after, at the end it's down to how you want the model to look.....................for me 'DIRTY'!...............

cheers

AL

That taxi has some really tall advertisements on it.

Oh my. No only are your builds superb, what gets me is the fantastic and utterly realistic paint jobs!

Love it!

AWESOME STUFF!

But with the first car you posted, I woulda kept it the scuffed up red.

Post Apoc Taxi...............now with ......................FLAME-THROWER

hello gang, well the taxi is now done!.....so i was thinking, why? have a harpoon! when you can have a Flame-Thrower! and a little gunner back-plate protection.............thanks for all your comments guy's most appreciated that's for sure,

GamesEtc, cheers mate, not quite sure what you mean? the 'rusty' Mustang was the 'original' colour then re-painted to red?........ the 'Rust Mustang' was the first car i started this 'journey' back into modelling with, if i did that same car now?..........paint wise it would look very different.............ish!

Taxi time......







Sooooooo!........................................next on the bench?

it's time for a little Post Apoc Armour....................



cheers

AL

Thought I had this subbed, excellent work sir....keep it coming

cheers Slain'e and Grag, it's great that you choose to sub me, i feel that's a great complement cheers guys, lots of stuff on it's way.

AL

Will there be a girl riding the tank?

Damn!........Malika2...........your quick!...lol.......oh! a chieftain as a crew of 4?..........i think you know where i going with this! lol and what mini's will get used?

cheers

AL

WIP Post Apocalyptic Chieftain MBT

Hello Wastelanders, couple of wip pics of the Chieftain, added a lot of texture to turret and hull to really help bring out the rust and chipping that's coming, the crew have added their own bins and side 'skirts', lots of damage done........of course! i don't 'DO' clean
for those that don't know the barrel as two terminal sleeves either side of the fume extractor, that's the 'round thing' 2/3 thirds along the barrel, over the years this crew have made there own!............old sheets and rope! (I've used rope, in real life to secure a terminal sleeve! it works!)............
still to add 'tarps' and stowage and securing brackets for side skirts........but it's coming along nicely....





cheers
AL

WIP Post Apoc Chieftain tank

Hi gang, a few more pics added stowage to the baskets and cans/tow chains/rope..............problem is waiting for the 'tissue' to dry! at least 24hrs + should be able to get the paint flowing tomorrow, enjoy





cheers

AL

I wonder how much of a tank a tank in a post apocalyptic world would be. I mean, it's not like they can reproduce ammunition and such. Wouldn't it eventually be a clunky armoured vehicle that can't do that much besides riding around? Taken from that point, I'd imagine people maybe even squatting such a vehicle, just building stuff on top of it or adding tons of spikes to them so it'll become some sort of ramming thing.

Food for thought.

that's a very good point Malika2.........a very good point.....i'm looking at this, that the 'occupants' are/maybe ex crew and there's a bit of ammo left.......maybe.......hang on!! YOU! HAVE GIVEN ME SOME NEW IDEAS!.......cheers mate

AL

Muahahaha, this is going to be awesome!

By the way, I've been working on some post apocalyptic madness as well, a bit more scifi/fantasy in nature though, but still after the end of a major catastrophe. Curious to hear your thoughts.

From the first picture I could tell someone liked Death Race and Mad Max

Great work, a nice change too, keep it up!!

Great weathering!

phantommaster and Gallahad cheers guy's glad you like, and i hope it does add a bit of a change to the blogs

cheers

AL

Great work London. Looking forward to seeing more.
As to the lack of ammo issue, the main cannon could be reconstructed into being a homemade mega flame thrower lol

The Flamer thrower on the taxi is great.

I must confess I visited a model shop to pick up your rust/chipped paint recipe.

Tank is coming on nice!

cheers guy's, just a quick one to any one I've PM about updates....sorry! of course you'll get updates in your sub...........................................(go's and stands in corner!)...........sooooo? i wasn't happy with a few things about the build......it was...not ...'right;?.........in some why..............i was trying to keep it to real world?...........not PA enough, so after a comment by Malika2.......cheers mate, it's more........Post Apocalyptic...... more me! .................now i'm very happy! and a thank you to GamesEtc............. it's 'Flaming time!' Mega flaming time! .................






cheers

AL

Definitely more fitting to the theme now I did check in earlier but thought you were just still building but the new update really brings that back to AP standards.

Have you considered some kind of makeshift guard around the front hatch section kind of looks a little clean lined still.

Will you be sticking with the military colour scheme or going all out with some kind of makeover

cheers dirty dog, yep is back on track!........lol it will be getting a 'BIG!' makeover..............don't want to give too much away! ref front 'Glasias' plate the driver is quite well protected even in the opened up position, Chieftain was the first tank i commanded then chally 1 and 2 many years ago!....(eye's glaze over and looks into the distance lol) ............but as it's PA... hmmmmmm? some sort of simple plate will go well........damn! just when i thought it's paint time...lol

cheers

.......................and the barrel's been cut down just like the range target tanks....who needs a rifled 120mm gun with no ammo!

Nothing quite says post-apocalyptic tank like a few dozen healthy spikes being added

Switching to flame-thrower was a good call
