Thanks everyone for watching. Sorry the intro seems to be a little low volume. Live and learn, luckily there's nothing of great interest in this part, just me banging on about some stuff :). I hope you find the tutorial helpful, this one was to really share some techniques and materials that you might be able to easily adapt to your own builds. I really liked how the vehicle turned out, I'm going to do a few more of these I think. Really cheap and easy to do. Cheers.
I discovered these EXACT same cars at Walmart (US) not two weeks ago. They are PERFECT. I can attest to how easy they are to dismantle and how flexible they are for design decisions. Doors/no doors. Wheels/no wheels. Glass/no glass. Easy peasy. Each car is a slightly different scale, but the scale, as well as the year, make and model is printed on the bottom. They are sold loose ( no box ). So you get to check them out before you buy. I primered mine before starting, and used a variety of rust techniques trying to find the one I like. EDIT: One thing Shawn didn’t mention is the tires from these cars are actually rubber, and come off fairly easily. I’ve subsequently used them to build a tire barrier and some scatter.
Thanks Shawn. Agreed, these cars are perfect, and the tires are almost worth the price alone. I do want to try a different paint/weathering technique I think. Thanks for the comment mate.
Thanks mate. Yeah I'm really loving the pigments for this theme of build. It really does make a huge difference, and so easy to get a great effect. Cheers.
Thanks for this awesome piece of terrain! One thing i think you should do is place a light in the up above the back of your desk so that we can see better what you're making!
Solid build! Those cars are great, I use the 50s style ones for Fallout. Super effective use of materials without a lot of cost, so thats a win as well. Cheers!
I found an awesome 1/43 scale stretch limo in a charity shop that is perfect for my Zombicide/Post Apocalyptic game scenarios. Love how this video showed how to make something so beautiful and easy to follow :-)
Thanks Paul. I was surprised how much the car really made this piece look so good in the end. Definitely worth looking out for these in the cheap/charity shops in the future. I didn't glue this car down on the base so I can use it in the Walking Dead All Out War game by it's self. Cheers mate.
Beautifully done! This project really came together well. I like how you use aluminum foil to add some elevation. Thank you for sharing your creativity in these awesome terrain videos!
Thanks James, yeah the car was honestly probably the easiest part of this build, but looks great. I'll be getting myself a few more of these for sure. Cheers.
Another great inspirational video man!!! The watered down glue on the sand is something that I’ve not done for any of my builds in the past and I don’t know why I’ve never thought about it.. A couple years ago I built a ruined highway for my Post Apocalypse games but in 15mm scale and I used matchbox cars. I wanted to create a look of them being smashed up like they got into an accident, rolled over and hit by other vehicles so in order to get that effect I put a shirt or cloth over them and whacked them with a hammer, not super hard to completely destroy them but with enough force to bang them up a bit. I believe that would work for these larger die cast cars. Maybe something that you could try out for a future video?? As always keep up the good work 👍
Thanks again man. I have been considering ways to damage these up exactly as you describe, trying to make it look like 'natural' damage I suppose. The idea with the cloth and hammer sounds like it should work, I've got a few of these cars now, so it'll be worth a go. I figured these on their own make cool bits of terrain, so I won't need to build bases or anything, as I can just place them around where I want them once they're damaged and weathered. With most of these scale cars also coming with rubber tires, as well as removable doors, there's a bunch of little bits you can get from each car and it still works as a terrain piece. Great value for the post-apocalypse. :) I'll let you know how I go with smashing these cars up, if nothing else I can see myself enjoying that :). cheers Matt. Take care mate.
Problem with hitting the car with a banner is it just looks like a toy hit with a hammer. If you want it to look realistic lay some thick tin foil over the area you want to be damaged. Say the front left fender make a kind of copy of the shape. Now using a Dremel cut that fender out of the car. You use the tinfoil fender crumple it up and viola there you go. You can also use a dremel to grind out some material to look like dents and caved in areas. Using a sharp nail you can make the windshield look like a head bounced off it in an accident. You can cut off hoods and trunks ( bonnets and boots) or parts of then use card stock to crumple up and it looks great. Where you take off a wheel use a spring and nail maybe a tiny washer to look like the disc brake and suspension under there. Doesn't have to be perfect just something for the eye to see as the empty space is noticed immediately.
@@AlexBabcock-hw9iz Good idea with using a Dremel and foil/cardstock, I’ve only just purchased a Dremel for myself as a Christmas present to myself lol. I’ll have to try this trick out as soon as I find a place to use it instead of our kitchen table. I’m sure my wife would rather not have little shards of toy cars and such in and around the area that we eat. It’ll soon be warm enough outside so I’ll be able to take my mess out on the front porch and keep my wife happy lol 👍
@@Weez-2_The-Beez yes happy wife happy life. Just remember to always to have eye protection on a sliver of metal isn't fun in the eye. Oh and get one of those jewelry saws they are fantastic to cut out hoods trucks doors fenders ect. There some guys doing 1/64 scale cars that are just amazing.
Hotwheels and matchbox cars would be awesome to use, so much variety. I just found them a little small for the 28mm stuff. Good luck with your builds mate.

The terrain piece came out great, very simple to build but the result is awesome. Rust on the car really made it pop!.
Thanks Nate. Yeah the pigments make things a lot easier to get a quick dirty/rust effect. Cheers for the comment mate.
Love a good old rusty car body, reminds me of my first ride
Thank you for watching and commenting mate!

Can't whatch it now, just sneek peeked at the intro.
WOW!!!!!
Thanks John. I hope you enjoy the video mate!
The pigements up the realism a ton.Great build!

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely try this on the next video. Appreciate the feedback mate, and thank you for watching.
@@RFDHobby thank you for making it!
That looks so good! I think you made the right choice, not gluing the car; I'm always for more modularity. What a nice build
Thanks. Yeah, I prefer to be able to move bits around wherever possible. Cheers!

Fantastic work mate this looks awesome! Love the little railing you added thats real cool
Thank you very much!
That is absolutely stunning! Great work! Very Mad Maxesque ;) thanks for the idea of the thin cork board for ashfault.
Glad you like it! Thank you for watching and commenting mate!
Nice addition to your post-apocalyptic terrain man! Good job! 🤘
Thanks Leif. It works in well with my previous builds.
Perfect for Gaslands! Going to find me some diecast cars now...
Oh for sure, if you can find the right ones, you can end up with quite a few extra bits for terrain details (like the tires and doors etc.). Cheers.
A lovely build Shawn. The stippling really was a fantastic idea. Great job! 😱
Thanks Donny!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the comment mate. Glad you enjoyed it.
Sweet job! The car is just amazing.

Thats a really-really nice build!
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoy it!
I’m going to build this for playing gas land thanks for all the ideas keep it up
Thanks very much Tracey. Good luck with it. I appreciate the comment.
Fantastic work! Thanks for sharing this .

That would look great on a fallout board or I guess any other wasteland post-apocalyptic game.
Thanks Dave. It should go quite well with the rest of my wasteland terrain bits. Cheers mate.
Absolutely awesome work! 👍
Thank you very much!
Looks fantastic. Will be trying it out. Cheers!
Thank you very much. Good luck with it.
I've been considering doing something similar. But I was going to use Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars. Then use them as terrain pieces for Gaslands.
Hotwheels and matchbox cars would be awesome to use, so much variety. I just found them a little small for the 28mm stuff. Good luck with your builds mate.
Maybe. Know the type of dye
The pigments I use here are Langridge brand.
