For those not in the know, Gaslands is a table-top game based in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Players control small fleets of armed vehicles in battles for resources, dominance and survival. Handily, the game uses Matchbox size cars and vehicles as ‘pieces’. I was introduced to the game for the opportunity to customise these cars – I’ve yet to actually play it! Here’s a makeover you may be interested in…
The starting point is this Porsche Cayenne Turbo obtained as part of a job lot from eBay.
Next, drill out the rivets and take the car apart.
I used a Dremel to remove the back of the bodywork and the plastic window liner.
I forgot to take pics of the next steps, but essentially I painted the bodywork in matching acrylic paint – it adds a matte finish that you might expect from an older car. After that, more layers of paint add rust texture and staining with some dust for good measure.
The flamethrower and barrels are 3D printed and then painted with acrylics and the same rust texture paint and stains. Then it was a matter of reassembling the car and sticking everything in place.
