Bunch of clowns and carneys travelling around spreading veneral diseases and killing folks. I am having problems on my ice cream truck.It looks ok but it needs something.Never done this before and I need HELP! Need some feedback/suggestions ,thanks. Ol Inky wandering around, far off stare in his eye mumbling about ice cream.

You could tone down the shine on the rims a little,add some kind of protection over the windows,put some boxes,backpacks and other survival gear on the roof. Use them mad green stuff skills you got and add a driver perhaps? That is one fu**ed up lookin clown man!Crazy! Brian

Toenail cutter / Tin can licker Posts: 3,113 Group: Members Member #247 Joined: Dec 18, 2010	I was thinking giant cone and a megaphone to pump out that chilling ice cream man music.I really hate clowns and mobile ice cream vendors,creeepy.There are machines and stuff in the back ,so i need those to be at least semi visable.Ya ol jingles is one messed up dude! Lol,he's not done yet but he looks good.Ah yes,good DR. they are free hand,got me some tiny brushes! Thanks for the advice , I am out of my element on this one.

If you intend it to be the faction's primary vehicle I'd put some armored wheel well covers to protect the tires... wire mesh covering the windows, but have gun ports available... build up the front end for bashing and clearing road debris... an electric wench... ladder for rooftop access... barrels, tarps, boxes on top the vehicle to illustrate this is a road show wagon. If ya can find a proper sized pickup cut it up and make a trailer to pull behind the "U-Scream" truck.... Edited by tinker, Jan 7 2011, 09:06 PM.

Had a hell of a time getting paint to stick till I gave it a quick spray of dull coat. My first vehicle probably should have practiced on a scrub vehicle Rad blight that is Mr Jingles from spinespur,nice sculpt ,tons of character.Taban has some WICKED clowns I, going too add to the gang....when I get some more loot.Mega miniatures has a zombie clown,cheap that might work as well and of coarse horror clix have quite a few.I love that old grenadier cyberpunk range,just scored 2 box sets myself off of ebay!

With your greenstuff skills Inkwell,i dont think youll have trouble converting just about anything into a clown ganger. "Hey Inky what did you use as a base mini for that kick ass conversion?" Inkwell "Oh i just used a few sticks and a dog turd and PRESTO!" "Um ok............ Brian thats a complement BTW, i know that western Illinois humor is a little different from us city folk Edited by Mr. Clean, Jan 8 2011, 01:08 AM.

Those Taban are a little bigger ,I painted a female assassin for one of my brothers b-day presents and it seemed liked she scaled up decent but was "gangly".But those clowns kick ass,wooo hooo ! I dont mind a little varience though art imitates life. Well shucks city slicker, thanks, twernt nothin .Green stuffing is like a super hot woman,its a pain to work with but it's worth it in the end!

Posts: 729 Group: Members Member #73 Joined: Mar 6, 2009	I kinda like the fact that its not obscenely over armored with an extra 400lbs of steel plating, especially if its part of a convoy of roaming raping and murdering carnies and clowns instead of road warriors. maybe make some small patch repairs or wood supports and soem details inside the back half. extra details and luggage, fuel cans, wheels, toolboxes, tarps etc. stuff that would fit for a nomadic group. are you going to make some sideshow wagons and stuff too?

Toenail cutter / Tin can licker Posts: 3,113 Group: Members Member #247 Joined: Dec 18, 2010	I dont want to go too far either,definately a lot of baggage and patchwork repairs. Working out a way for the giant cone,you know those carnys got that sucker propped up with 2x4s.Tinker had a hell of an idea with the pull along though and I was thinking about o scale circus train cars.put some rubber on the wheels and pulled by a big rig.I picked up a semi CHEAP.I will probably go down that road when I get the time .I'd like to play some games by summer and I've got to put together a dozen or so gangs. I'm starting from scratch,I didnt own a fig with a gun till about 3 weeks ago,lol.
