Originally I wanted to get a copy of Gaslands last month, but I read that the new updated version will arrive this Fall. So I will wait some more months, hoping that also a German version of the game will be published.
But I already got some Hot Wheels from the 1 Eurostore and started to build my first car for Gaslands or other games, there are much car battle games, some free rulesets can be found at http://www.freewargamesrules.co.uk/.
This one was a nice distraction from always building warmachinery, even when it is some kind of it, too. I call it Officer Friendly, manned by the two ex-officers Law & Order.
I had a nice time modding this car. It got 2 Maxim machine guns from Escis ww2 Russians installed to the hood, a new set of wheels and some armourplates made from plastic.
Law, the driver which can not be seen, is a Hong Kong (?) clone of an Africa corps officer, while his co-worker is a cheap clone of the officer from Matchbox' German infantry set.
The original paint of the car was scratched, then the scratches and the new parts got painted in various rusty red and brown tones with minial steelcolored highlighting, also different washes were used. The figures got their uniforms Ultramarines Blue painted.
A layer of matte varnish was the final step after I added some Green Earth pigments by Vallejo.
Even when I still do not own a copy of Gaslands, I decided to host a car war game on this years birthday. I already have found a ruleset which I will modify heavily, in an old Warhammer Chronicles book I found simple rules for steamtank destruction derby, this should offer a nice basis.
But don't tell GW.
