Cars n Guns

I'm currently working on some 1/43 ish scale cars for use in an Up scaled version of Car Wars. It is fun game to model for; you can design cars that are post-apocalyptic and ones that look like they rolled off the showroom floor with factory installed state of the art weapon systems. This is perfect because these models are going to be used with a variety of post apoc and future wars type games I've been wanting to try.

These two have magnets glued to the inside roof so I can add and remove a  turret as needed.

This is an view of the armored ball turret as a side mounted weapon.

That's all for now,

I WANNA ROCK!

A bunch, actually, so I made some!They are based off of this awesome model rairoad  technique:
Frocks
I modified it slightly by using vinyl spackle (its more flexible) and adding PVA to the mix. To paint them I experimented with paints while they were wet, and woodland scenics earth tones when they were dry.  for a bit more durability, they were sealed with a water based matte varnish afterward.

Of course, I also had to experiment with other ways to change or improve this idea, because thats what I do :)

This is the above technique, just with heavy amounts of wall spackle in places. Works well, just not as durable.

This one was coated in cheap white paintable caulk. Two coats, Mcfly.

The result? A super flexible rock that can be literally thrown against the wall without damage.

The only downside is that caulk and the scenics pigments diddnt hit it off together; I had to use paint and drybrushing to get it even remotely looking like a rock.

thats all for now, Rock out with your... rock out.
