Another Three Dueling Cars

I surprised myself - I actually managed to finish all three of the cars I was painting up. So, here are some pretty pics for you.














The blue and orange are a bit darker in real life. Those two colours seem to get bleached out whenever I take pics.

I'll try to work up some designs for all four cars tomorrow - I'll be aiming at Div 15 for those who know Car Wars.


I've also unboxed the trucks which got delivered this afternoon:







I do like the pink truck. I think I'll have to do up a team of pink cars at some point to go with it *grin*


So, now that these cars are done that clears my workbench. Over the next few evenings I'll do some work on the 1X cars.

    Love the pink truck! I have a pink 1947 Fleetline called 'Lola' as part of my Machinas setup.

    How do you paint your car windows, by the way - they look very good.

    Also, where do you get your weaponry from?

    Div 15, hmmm a well balanced choice. Mind you if you have the right players any Div is the right choice. But Div 15 should give you a wide spectrum of car types.

    They all look good and it will be good when you get some more done. Are you going Arena or street? If arena may I suggest some adverts on the cars from sponsors if they would not muck up the paint work.

    @ Kaptain Kobold - I'm guessing that Lola isn't a pristine pink if she's for Machinas!
    To do the car windows, remove the plastic from the car; spray with matt varnish (to give a "key" for the next step); ink wash - I've used orange, orange/brown mix and brown for these; seal with Klear or gloss varnish.
    The turrets and guns are from Brigade Models; the pipes at the back are brass tubing
    Glad you like them :)

    @ Robert - that sounds like a second vote for pink cars to me :)

    @ Whisk - it is very fetching :)

    @ Ian - you'll need to wait a little while for the next batch as I'm waiting for bits to come in for modding them :)

    @ Clint - Div 10 or 15 should give decent games. I will probably end up doing a mix or Arena and street. For my "amateur night" garage I may add sponsor decals to the cars. Glad you like the look of these :)

    @ Rodger - cheers! That's a third vote for Team Pink :)

    You can also get weapons from Stan Johanson Miniatures in the States. I have used them for my own version.
