I don't know why I keep doing this to myself: I feel I should contribute something (or promise to do so), keep putting it off or let other things get in the way and then throw together some PoS. In this case as a post-apoc aficionado I kept promising myself that -this time- I'd join in. I'll give you the whole whinge some other time if anyone likes to listen to a litany of feeble excuses, but basically most of the problems were of my own making except for a last-minute attempt to do a pin-wash with Citadel Nuln Oil (I now detest the stuff) which produced a result which would simply count as a disaster were it not for the fact the after the end of civilization most things would look like sh1t... The model was started last Friday and was completed (sort of) before midnight on the 30th November but getting some photographs proved difficult-none of the ones I'd taken previously proved usable.
For what it's worth the basic kit is something I picked up in Poundland a couple of years ago: a snap-together item which appears to be about 1:32nd scale comprising a dozen components (I used seven) in grey plastic and no transparencies; oddly enough pretty much what I needed! The original intent was to present it on a diorama base with a figure, this may happen if I can be bothered to re-work it... The additions mainly came from bits boxes - mostly not my own. Some were Games Workshop components (there often seems to be more alternative parts left over than go into the model), others parts from 15mm (1:100th) wargaming vehicles - most notably a M36 tank destroyer turret re-purposed as a Remote Weapons Station. The intake on the hood came from my own orphans box, components without their matching halves: in this instance a 1:48th Harrier jet nozzle and a radome from a 1:400th scale French Aircraft Carrier (not that you can see much, I hate Citadel Abbadon Black as well...).
Well, here it is, have a sick bag handy:
