The first wave of cars

January 28, 2023

Here’s a few of the original cars, I like them, but the second wave was a vast improvement.

With these the first thing I did was strip the original paint off of the shells. This particular set of cars was 14.99 for 50 vehicles, all held together by teeny tiny screws. I wasn’t confident enough at this point to be drilling out rivets on hot wheels. I then sprayed them with Hycote gray primer, once completed I used some vintage style craft paints for the base coat. Then I reassembled all the vehicles and added some greebles and what weapons I had sourced, this was the early days of Gaslands and resources were scarce. More things came from my arts and crafts box than my rather meagre bits box. Finally I grunged them up using a set of Vallejo pigment powders, possibly my second only purchase of hobby supplies.
