Taking a short break from the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge to post a couple small terrain projects - terrain doesn't count in the Challenge anyway. First up are some warning flags for the Chemical Commies.
I designed these on the computer (finding a suitable Cyrillic font was the biggest challenge), printed them, and based thm on washers. The basic design was cribbed from a Ron Volstad illustration in Osprey's "Elite" volume #12 - "Inside the Soviet Army Today."
Of course, "today" does a lot of work in that title - the book was published in 1987, but is perfect for what I need it for, since our 28mm Cold War projects are set in the mid-'80s to mid-'90s.
The other quick project was a couple vending machines. These I got from Meeplemart last year, I gave these quick paintjobs and they'll be great as scatter terrain in our modern and sci-fi gaming. Above you can see a Jokaero using his digital digit to select a soft drink.
"Electrolytes - they're what plants crave!" Of course you gotta have a Brawndo machine. I printed off the graphics and glued them to the machine, turned out all right I think.
"The Thirst Mutilator!"
The last machine didn't have a ton of surface area for clever graphics...
...so I stuck some on the side. I'm not that familiar with the Fallout franchise but the graphics are great.
Lastly we've got a cigarette machine. I choose "Kool" branding for the unit. You used to see these in bars and pubs all the time of course but no longer. Fortunately in our past- and future-gaming worlds nobody suffers any ill effects.
Love the Nuka Cola! Limited edition Nuka Cola Quantum lets you make a pretty nifty hand grenade. Explosive taste!

ReplyDeleteTroops wearing MOPP gear already look so sinister, and somehow the warning signs make the MOPP gear dudes even scarier...great stuff Dallas.
