The guys putting on the game were using plain old historical chariot teams with human riders and horse teams, but using stats for the common fantasy races ( dwarves, elves, orcs, etc.)<br />
<br />
I took it as a personal goal and challenge to see if I could find fantasy figures that would actually represent each particular race on the table. I scoured the 'net, and reviewed my stash of chariot age 15mm armies, with disappointing results. Luckily I ran in to Splintered Light Miniatures at Historicon the following summer, and was able to special order some fantasy race specific teams and riders.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately no one really makes a variety fantasy chariots (SLM does make an undead bones chariot), so I had to scratchbuild most of my chariots. I was able to repurpose a few historical chariots. Another challenge was finding suitable beasts to pull each chariot. SLM had just about everything I needed.<br />
<br />
Here's a WIP shot of some of the chariots. The grey one on the right is composed of two parts of a 20mm Churchill tank track guard (which I commandeered from my son's collection of spare parts). Other material include jewelry bits (green and bronze), 1/72 car seat (white), or completely scratch built bits.<br />
<br />
All the chariot team harnessing was sculpted or crafted by me, either with green stuff or odds and ends of material that I had lying around the hobby room.<br />
<br />

<br />
Mammoths are plastic models from a variety of sources. I did some conversion work on the adults' heads, necks and trunks to give many of them more dynamic poses. Cut the head off, repose, pin, then green stuff to redo the neck, trunk and hump. (Then repainted them all.) Worked out pretty well. Cavemen are a mix of Copplestone, Pulp Figures and Reaper, with some modifications to get more variety. Other animals are a mix - horses (repainted from plastic model zebras), megaceros from DeeZee, and the odd cave bear and cave lion from Ral Partha.<br />
<br />

In the below pic, the mammoth on the left is an original model. The other three show some of the converted head and trunk poses.<br />

These are Studio Miniatures sculpts. Still need work on the bases. I want to do some typical institutional vinyl floor tiles with a contrasting checkerboard type coloring. Not sure what to do - paint, sculpt or cut & glue the squares....<br />

Characters eerily similar to a well known comedy series on the tube. C'mon Newbie, you know the one...<br />

<br />
Cant have zeds running around without some survivors to chase after. Here's a set of five rather geeky civilians. They're in dire need of some weapons, as dice bags, soda cans, and fast food wont cut the mustard.<br />
<br />
However, the gaming tomes two are carrying might have some potential.... :-)<br />

Things were just a little bit disorganized as a result, so I decided it was time to see what I had on hand. I have managed so far to only buy one duplicate truck, a telephone/power type with cherry picker, which is good. I may try and convert that to something post-apoc'ish - more likely just return it to Toys-R-Us.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://home.comcast.net/%7Epacarat/pics/misc/ATZ/43_scale_cars1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="376" src="http://home.comcast.net/%7Epacarat/pics/misc/ATZ/43_scale_cars1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> I have cars dating from the 1950's up to current year models, and have tried to get as large a variety of styles and makes as possible. Vast majority are 1/43 scale but I have the odd one here and there that is bigger or smaller, or in some cases unmarked. If it looks close, I'll buy it. Most are diecast, but there's a few plastic mixed in. The desert camo HMMWVs are plastic toys, but so close to scale and so cheap I had to get them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://home.comcast.net/%7Epacarat/pics/misc/ATZ/43_scale_cars2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="291" src="http://home.comcast.net/%7Epacarat/pics/misc/ATZ/43_scale_cars2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>I have police, emergency, construction, sport utility, and commercial, as well as the typical passenger types. I plan to take some and do some crash damage, and have another dozen convertibles that I plan to wreck and stack for a junk yard set. Currently all the vehicles are in the condition I bought them. I'm debating on whether to try and do any weathering. Without an airbrush, I'm hesitant to try and do it by hand. I am comfortable in weathering WW2 AFVs, but typical modern / commercial road wear would be a stretch.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://home.comcast.net/%7Epacarat/pics/misc/ATZ/43_scale_trucks1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="358" src="http://home.comcast.net/%7Epacarat/pics/misc/ATZ/43_scale_trucks1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Vehicles have been bought from a variety of sources - the usual toy, discount, hobby and department stores, but also flea markets (Georgia and Indiana), thrift/Goodwill stores, convenience stores (Florida), and museums (Germany). Traveling as much as I do for work gives me the opportunity to find new places to scrounge stuff.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://home.comcast.net/%7Epacarat/pics/misc/ATZ/43_scale_trucks2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="273" src="http://home.comcast.net/%7Epacarat/pics/misc/ATZ/43_scale_trucks2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
My goal is to be able to populate anything from rural (all the farm machinery) to big city environments. I also want to be able to do a truck stop scenario, thus all the big rigs. The trucks range in scale from 1/43 to 1/50. I am still looking for a 1/50 scale Greyhound style passenger bus. There's usually some on eBay but prices are more than I want to pay.<br />
<br />
<br />
"Get to da chopper!!"<br />

I have been fortunate to obtain a couple of diecast 1/43 scale Bell Ranger choppers, painted and decaled in LAPD livery. I decided I had to have a SWAT or Government "Night Chopper" ( Blue Thunder? - oh yeah, go to whisper mode), so I disassembled one and spray painted it matte black. Turned out pretty nice, although it was a real pain to get some of the pieces separated.<br />
<br />

I also have another 1/43 scale chopper in US Coast Guard scheme not pictured.

<br />
My plan is to use printed paper "skins", and attach the graphics to a variety of hard shells. I visited the local craft stores (Hobby Lobby, Michael's, Walmart, etc.) hunting for suitable boxes (hopefully with lids).<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://home.comcast.net/%7Epacarat/pics/misc/ATZ/28mm_stock_nested_buildings_0650.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://home.comcast.net/%7Epacarat/pics/misc/ATZ/28mm_stock_nested_buildings_0650.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I had good luck at Hobby Lobby, and using my trusty 40% coupons, and the 50% off weekly ads, I scored some nice raw materials. HL stock a set of about a dozen nested boxes with lids - bought for $6.00 ( after the 40% coupon). Nested boxes are way cool, cause I can minimize storage needed. HL also sells paper-mache boxes that nest, but are sold separately. I found some raw wood boxes (open top/nested and kleenex/tissue sized) at Walmart. Most card/mache boxes have averaged out to less than a couple bucks each, while the wood have been more expensive at about $3-$7 each. <br />
<br />
I spent some time perusing images and textures on the 'net, looking for suitable samples. I then set up some templates in Visio, after taking careful measurements of exterior & interior sides, and interior floors. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://home.comcast.net/%7Epacarat/pics/misc/ATZ/28mm_nested_buildings_0651.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://home.comcast.net/%7Epacarat/pics/misc/ATZ/28mm_nested_buildings_0651.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Next is to decide what type of building, then select walls, windows and doors, and any trim details. My templates are scaled so it is easy to size, scale, and tweak to fit ~28mm scale figs. I am using lots of sources - raw images, tiles, textures, and then use selective cropping, resizing, and image manipulation/editing to get the piece/parts I need. Initial efforts were slow and crude,but I am getting the hang of it and setting up layers and shortcuts to make the builds go quicker.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are some of my initial efforts...<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I have a bout three dozen boxes now, ranging form a couple inches square, up to about a foot square, and both single and multiple stories. I hae several of the larger (6"-8") cube style paper-mache boxes that I will cut down to give me more variety in height.<br />
<br />
I have no roofs done (other than the shanty iron ones shown) at this time. I am considering a couple of options, as I want to keep a) the lids/roofs removable, b) have a rim around the edge that eliminates any sliding, and c) retain the nesting capability. More to follow as I progress.<br />

This box has two part figures, basically split at the waist with a ball and socket type joint. <br />
<br />
These are very nice figs, with many variations in pose. Figs have good detail and anatomy, and nice wound effects. Included are 10 female and 10 male torsos. Most of the male torsos are bare chested.The lower pieces are fairly generic - a mix of some kind of fluted skirt, ragged "loin cloth", and some droopy cloth around the legs at ankle height. There is also a marked gap where torsos' "ball" fit into legs' "socket". <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://home.comcast.net/%7Epacarat/pics/misc/ATZ/BMM_zombies_3384.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="175" src="http://home.comcast.net/%7Epacarat/pics/misc/ATZ/BMM_zombies_3384.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
All in all, marginal as purely modern zeds - they look more medieval or fantasy to me. So, I got a wild hair and decided to see what I could do with some green stuff, exacto knife, and diagonal cutters.<br />
<br />
After deciding which top to go with which bottom, I super glued the pieces and then got out the clippers and knife.Since my sculpting skills are fairly elementary, I decided to go with a ragged effect, as if this batch of zombies was pretty worked over, or had been lumbering around for quite a while.<br />
<br />
I added ragged sleeves, torn shirts, pants, and shorts where it made sense based on pose and existing clothing/rags. I really don't like the fluted skirt effect these figs have, so tried to minimize that by chopping out the fabric under the buttocks and between the legs. (Most modern (western) males wear pants, right? I also tried to minimize the visual effect of the torso joint, so added GS to mask that, and make the upper clothing meld into the lower, or drape over to hide the joint.<br />
<br />
I did several where the sleeves or pants legs have been torn loose, and have settled at wrist or ankle. Happy with how that came out. Also did some hanging/tattered pieces off arms, or connected from arms to torso. The two pics above and below show the results after greennstuff applied.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://home.comcast.net/%7Epacarat/pics/misc/ATZ/BMM_zombies_3382.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="171" src="http://home.comcast.net/%7Epacarat/pics/misc/ATZ/BMM_zombies_3382.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
So next thing of course is to get them painted!<br />
<br />
I used some new schemas this time - added some blue, green and purple washes to my usual reds/browns. My intent is to show zombies that are in later stages of decomposition. Happy with the effort so far. I may decide to go back and dirty up the clothing a little more.<br />

Found this little gem in mint condition for $22.00. It is a replica of one the earliest 1950's McDonalds. Perfect size for 28mm zombie gaming. Also pictured are a few 1/43 scale vehicles I picked up at an outdoor flea market the day prior, and some WIP 28mm zeds looking for the "dollar menu".<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8HSntV7--fs/TnIZFa9xIJI/AAAAAAAAAfs/fwgsQwUmi3E/s1600/arches_0592.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8HSntV7--fs/TnIZFa9xIJI/AAAAAAAAAfs/fwgsQwUmi3E/s400/arches_0592.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Made by Danbury Mint. A/c powered analog clock on sign in front of building. Fully detailed/painted interior, with two skylights in ceiling so small light bulbs mounted above can shine through. Trying to decide what to do about the clock face - not sure if I want to keep it or replace it with some signage or hide with some bushes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wTreviP5HIo/TnIZPRH_v_I/AAAAAAAAAfw/ABwkUeHNuoM/s1600/arches_0593.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wTreviP5HIo/TnIZPRH_v_I/AAAAAAAAAfw/ABwkUeHNuoM/s400/arches_0593.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Roof comes off as separate piece, and the interior ceiling is hinged for access, as shown above. There is room for standard 1" bases to fit around the center island, so I'll be able to have figures inside while gaming. Way cool!<br />

Just some minor details left to do - eyes, highlights on weapons and other gear. IIRC these are 28mm Copplestone Castings, but there might be some Foundry in there too.pacarathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02212333096398391205noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163958622912294015.post-2552388675681230062010-12-26T18:24:00.001-07:002010-12-26T18:25:46.003-07:00Zombie Casualty - a trial sculptOk, it seems nobody makes commercial civilian type "casualty" figures for zombie gaming (or for that matter any other modern/post 19C eras). There's two options I see, converting existing zombie figs, or making my own. So, as usual, I got a wild hair, and decided to try my hand at sculpting some dead - both human and undead - to add some "flavor" (no pun intended) to my zombie gaming scenery.<br />
<br />
I have some experience with 15mm sculpting (many many years ago), but this is my first attempt at 28mm scale figures. I am a complete novice with total figure sculpting, so this is a real stretch. The figure was done in Milliput, using some homemade sculpting tools. I didn't use an armature, which is something I won't repeat. Limb proportions are a little off, and I think the face looks too simian, but not too shabby for a first attempt.<br />
<br />
The sculpt itself could be a) a person that was worked over by several zeds, and not yet reanimated, or b) a zed that took a head shot. I have painted up the base to show the first option, as there are obvious signs of struggle, feasting, and multiple footprints.<br />
<br />

My long term plan is to first make zombie figs that have received head shots, and are therefore "down" for good. Then some civilian/survivor figs that have been chomped by zombies and have yet to be reanimated. In game terms, I'd drop one of these down wherever a zed gets taken out.pacarathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02212333096398391205noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163958622912294015.post-47409606700957286892010-12-08T15:09:00.003-07:002011-09-25T21:01:50.343-06:00WIP - Copplestone Future Wars ZombiesReally like these guys, the zed in tightie-whities cracks me up.

Really like the sculpting on these figs. Lots of variety, lots of nice details.

<div style="text-align: center;">First application of base coat. I try to use multiple thin coats, rather than one heavy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;">Second thin wash of base coat, a little darker this time.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here I have added some streaking to simulate stains from oils, mud, dirt, etc.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here a much darker wash has been added. I use part water, part extender (propylene glycol) and part base coat, with a touch of dark green and brown thown in. Again, multiple thin coats is better than one heavy coat. Have to let this wash dry thoroughly, as the extender really retards the drying.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://home.comcast.net/%7Epacarat/pics/ww2/7AD/tutorial/f-695F.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
