wow! thats fantastic stuff PM! Great job on the mounted version of the bikers! Are the bike and base the west wind ones? wow, swat truck and school bus, I'm so envious. Haven't been able to track those down :( The west wind stuff does look very nice! Much better than the pics on the website would lead you to believe. I would have got some if the postage was not so expensive...

Thanks FG :D The bikers are Em4 / Copplestone. The bikes are Hotwheels Die-cast toys ( about £0.99 each in the UK ). I gave them a quick paint over to detail them a bit ( the trike is also a hotwheels bike with a scratch built back end ). I reworked the bikers to sit on them with green stuff . I used shaved down ORK legs from GW Gorkamorka Orks as a template for the male's legs and detailed them. I got the Swat Truck off Ebay ( about $5.00 from the US ) and I picked up the school bus their aswell ( 1:48 die-cast by SUPERIOR ) which cost about the same. The Bus was originally converted for Post Apocalyptic gaming but after I saw the new Dawn of the Dead it seemed only right as a survivor's ride! :wink: I like the WestWind minis but they are not as detailed as say Hasslefree ( they are also bigger and chunkier) , they are however pretty easy to paint which is always a bonus :) Thanks again FG, I'm glad you like them.

Oh...these are all excellent...you must have a great looking gaming table... I have tried (in vain) to find ANY cars that would remotely look decent with the normal sized 28-32 mm fig, and have struck out....do you have any clue what scale those are?

Wal-Mart, toy section, $2. Nice selection of moderns, including police cruisers.

fatgoblin- 04-29-2006

its generally the 1:43 cars that are being used I believe

Oh...these are all excellent...you must have a great looking gaming table... Thanks Supervike, glad you like them! :D There isn't a WalMart as such in the UK ( ASDA is their UK branch but is no where near as good as Walmart ) but most of my vehicles were picked up pretty cheaply ( Toys'R'Us , Ebay etc.). FG is spot on , they are all 1:43 scale ( the bus and SWAT vehicle are 1:50 scale) and are pretty easy to get hold of. The UK has a bit of a lack of decent American vehicles and i've ordered some in the past straight from the US. Regards PM

Just finished two more survivors. They're converted Copplestone Future wars miniatures ( bad guys in suits) reworked as Priests. The priest on the left has had his second pistol replaced with a Bible and the one on the right has a stake ready to strike down any unholy abominations. I'm building a Vatican Hit Squad with some more conversions in the pipeline. Regards PM

Eerie- 05-21-2006

Regards PM They look great... the one on the left looks like Rob Halford from Judas Priest. :D

fatgoblin- 05-24-2006

hey! wow, thats a fantastic idea! I might have to steal it! Nicely done!

Pappa Midnight- 05-24-2006

Thanks Eerie, The Rob Halford look was unintentional but strangely apt...! :lol: Hey FG, steal away! Ideas are still free ( I think..?) Regards PM

Pappa Midnight- 05-28-2006

As promised here's some more of my Vatican Hit Squad. These guys are from East Riding Miniatures: Father Micalef about to pul an ace out of his sleeve! On A mission From God! Regards PM

fatgoblin- 05-29-2006

very cool! I don't recall seeing the fella with shotgun from ERM. Will have to take a closer look

Pappa Midnight- 05-29-2006

Thanks FG, The guy with the shotgun is a new enforcer from their Corporate World range. The pictures of the new minis are on ERM's front page rather than their corporate world page. http://www.eastridingminiatures.co.uk/ There's also a nice looking Enforcer with two pistols which is going to be "Converted to The Way" very shortly!

fatgoblin- 05-29-2006

ah, thanks for the heads up! no wonder it didn't look familiar! The 4 new ones all look pretty cool! (don't like the design of the assasins though)
