Laserburn project WIP13 - Justice Department vehicles

So I've finally finished these three vehicles. Here they are:

Of course they're technically 'not-quite-finished' as I should probably do some detail on the underside of the truck, and the air/raft needs its crew completing. They'll do for now though. Enjoy.

Laserburn project WIP12 - Prefab subcontractor telecoms station and more toys

Some more toys. Kinder Hot Wheels surprise toys? In Aldi? At 49p, you say?

'Hmm, they can't be as big as normal hot wheels can they?'

No, they're not - that makes them perfect for 15mm, eh? Street scene? Car chase? - I'll have 12!

Ah good, one of each and three for conversions. Win.

The cars come in two bits and snap together. Stickers optional.

I'm not sure at this stage if they will be undercoated and painted, or if any of my washes will work on that surface. 

The Warbases HQ building is started.

It's had a white drybrush and some brown staining. The roof is WIP, but has so far been done with black wash, then black, white and two tones of grey POSCA markers. 

There are several panels on this. They're done in GOLDEN green gold high pigment ink. The idea of this odd colour is that is branding for the comms tower's corporation. I'll be putting branding on those.

The brick wall is the start of a pile of sacks or goods.

I intend to dirty up the precise lines on the roof, and put more prefab panel lines on the grey/white walls.

More soon.

Laserburn project WIP09 - Another toy, more vehicle painting

Scouring the toy shelves of local shops recently netted discovery of this little beaut for a mere £3.50. Looking distinctly like a 15mm ground attack aerodyne, it's heading for the painting table forthwith.

It's a Matchbox sky busters 'Strato saucer'. I believe they are re-releasing it in green too, but no-doubt it will require a repaint.

I've done a bit more work on my other vehicles. As you probably saw, I had masked the side of the pat-wagon in the last post. I used a high pigment liquitex ink to darken the stripes, for a nice low contrast effect. I did similar for the Imperial warthog, using chocolate brown on khaki.

After this, I worked on some lighting effects for the pat-wagon

That's all for now.

Laserburn project WIP07 - Judge pat-wagon again

A few shots of the WIP pat-wagon, on the table at the moment

The front grille - slightly shield-like

Tamiya 4mm masking tape, and hubcaps made from the pop-out bits in the middle of an x-wing miniatures game order wheel.

More soon

Laserburn project WIP06 - Judge pat-wagons

This year's Hot Wheels releases include this splendid vehicle, which they call 'The Vanster'. It's the wrong scale (1:64) to be a 15mm van, but with a bit of work, it can be a huge truck that the Justice dept can use as a Pat-wagon. These are some 'out of the box' shots, more later

I will try to use the translucent roof

Front - will need some bars or grilles
