Commercial vehicles...

Along with the cars picked up from Tesco came these commercial vehicles (three in a set for a fiver) which I have dirtied up to look as though they have been in heavy use straight off a construction site (who has time to wash their car during a zombie apocalypse anyway?).





One of the lorrys came with two recycling bins which make perfect scenery for games and weathered up to resemble those seen on British high streets and supermarket car parks.

Cars...

I've been pondering cars for a while and whilst I don't need/want too many for Undead Kingdom they can prove useful and I do need some in England Prevails so they can do double duty. Reading Shinto Kamikaze's Zed Men Walking blog I noted that Tesco was flagged as a useful source so popped in this morning to see what they had.


They had two packs of Fuel Line Dream Cars, one with the kind of thing you see on Top Gear (which I ignored) and one with a Mercedes SLS, Jaguar XKR and BMW Z4 (not uncommon on British streets) priced at just under £6 for three.


Not happy with the high gloss finish, I satin varnished them then added a bit of weathering using GW washes. The Merc looked a bit over done until I stuck my head out and looked at my neighbours silver cars and saw how dirty they had got of late.


I also picked up a couple commercial vehicle packs which are being worked on as well to look a bit realistic.
