I build a lot of terrain for my local club and, with me playing more and more Infinity and persuading a few of the others to get into it and stop playing with my minis, I thought I'd put together a boxful of dedicated Infinity terrain (although it may also come in handy for games of Tomorrow's War shortly!).
I passed through my local Tesco superstore today and stumbled across a selection of boxes of die-cast 1/48 "Fuel Line" city vehicles for £6/box. There were four boxes, each with three cars in it: one of police vehicles, one of fire vehicles, one of road working vehicles and one of utility vehicles. They all looked perfect, but the utility vehicles caught my eye straight away, as they came with various things on their backs: a skip and a set of recycling units. To my delight, when I unpacked them, I found that the recyclincg units and skip all came off their vehicles. I quickly sprayed everything with matt varnish.
The idea of this was (a) to give the shiny, clean surfaces a key on which I could paint and (b) to cloud up the windows, as I wasn't planning on painting the interiors!
20 mins after the varnish was dry, I had this:
This is the only one of the three vehicles I've finished. But I also painted all the bits:
I've got the next two vehicles and then some buildings to start work on. More to follow!
