About Me

I have not done models in years. thinking about getting back into the hobby. I currently have only 1 model that I built about 10 years ago. I build "realistic, or "dirty: models. I am here because I looked through the site and saw some of the best tips I ever saw and, now I am toying with the idea of getting back into it.

how about 2 hallowed skulls on the rear to raise the area for the cylinders.

as far as painting I would look into a few citadel paints. when I did minitures even my painting skills looked good with citadells

now that I look the dents might be to much is there really to much damage for one of these
post apocalyptic vehicles.

don't think you could do too much damage, some cars just see rougher battles than others. maybe you got trapped in a bad situation and tried to ram your way out. maybe one of those "trapped in a shopping mall with zombies" meets the mall chase scene from "blues brothers" lol

actually got a fair amount done on mine but keep forgeting to take pics in the day light.

working on the bed next.

thought I would put this out there: I have tons of warhammer guns and bits. Not super keen on getting rid of them, but I would come off some for things I need.

what do I need? oil drums, basic diorama stuff( think mobile garage or stockpile), ammo boxes from helicopter or tank model. looking for supplies that would be in a stockpile.

also, I did a post asking how to make boxes but I think making them is out of my skill level. if anyone could print out the sheets for me I could put them together. I'm thinking boxes that look like they ravaged a military surplus store. plain brown box with "toilet paper" or "chicken parmesian MRE" ect, stenciled on the side.

could also use just stencils and make my own boxes. anyone know how to make stencils? and need some bits?
