Last of the intercepter V-8! Be a shame to blow it up. Would love to have somebody make that close to 28mm scale. |

"Would love to have somebody make that close to 28mm scale." – You could hunt down a 1/43 Ford Falcon model and go from there. link |

The closest 28mm non-interceptor equivalents (that would still need converting) are rather pricey diecasts. Here's another option. picture And the motorcycle too.  |

Good thread so far. I am glad that the horse was included in the initial lineup. I agree that horses, mules, donkeys, camels, even llamas and alpacas would be pretty popular. It'd be interesting to see just how odd wildlife would be following a cataclysm. Lots of animals are present, in the US alone, that are not native to but that can survive in US habitats. The numbers of games farms, wild animal parks and private collections and hobby farms makes it quite possible to run into just about anything living wild in places they shouldn't normally be. -Eli |

It has already begun . . . link Let's just say I used to like to hike the Everglades. Not any more. Not with 30,000 of those things crawling about! CC |

CC, They've likely been there the whole time you've been hiking, so I wouldn't worry. I'd still worry more about the gators and crocs getting me than the snakes. Yeah, I also seem to recall reading someplace that there is a viable population of kangaroos living wild in France or something. What about elephants? Elephants and mankind have worked together for centuries, would they still continue to do so following a cataclysm? -Eli |
| Cacique Caribe | 04 Jul 2009 9:58 a.m. PST |
Unless it's breeding season, gators are no problem. I've swam with them. Crocs – no way. Pythons – no way. CC |

There's wallabies living wild in Southern England, can't remember exactly where. Oh, and the beast(s) of Bodmin, Exmoor etc. |

Speaking of the V-8 Interceptor. I am using a 1/43 scale 1968 Chevy Camaro for my kit bash. Not a perfect match, but close enough to look good on the table. That and I happen to really like the '68 Camaro. Here is a pic of a real 1968 Camaro for comparison

That's a really good muscle car to go with for making the V-8 Interceptor. I love muscle cars that get about 5gals to the mile. |

emu…what scale are those in? |
| Covert Walrus | 05 Jul 2009 7:10 p.m. PST |
MLatch 221, thank you for sahring. Always though I was wierd for wanting to convert a SCUD or IRBM carrier truck into a Winnebago or similar tranport . . . Now I see I think like the guy and his pimped-out BTR.:) emu2020, yes, wallabies have established populations in Eurpoe, America and her in NZ. Hardy little beasts, the macropoda are IMHO a good candidate for replacing apes as the next sentients on this planet…. |
| Eli Arndt | 05 Jul 2009 7:24 p.m. PST |
28mmMan, Those are 15mm. Covert Walrus, See Tank Girl :) -Eli |

I'm confussed which one was I suppose to ride? |
| alien BLOODY HELL surfer | 06 Jul 2009 5:53 a.m. PST |
Wallabies are around Whipsnade Zoo I believe – I know they have them IN the zoo. So, probs around the herts/bucks/beds areas. |
| 28mmMan | 06 Jul 2009 6:09 a.m. PST |
Covert did the posting bug get you or am I missing something here? **** Oh sorry I see now…I figured you got bumped from another post…lol. |

I'm confussed which one was I suppose to ride? Mileage or wear and tear aside, I'd lean towards the one that gives the smoother ride.  Or get me a saddle for one of these (plenty will be around after the fallout)

For the V-8 Interceptor, didn't HLBS do one for 1/48? I cannot seem to find it on their site now…

I found this while looking for some inspirational pictures to paint my new motorcycle gang bikes…

Unfortunitly they all may just end up like these
link just keep scrolling down this will give you the coolest ideas of what the coolest PA vehicles are. May not be cool to you but they are cool to them! |
| Warrenss2 | 12 Jul 2009 3:25 a.m. PST |
Actually, Mil Dot, those are probably a more realistic idea of what our PA vehicles would look and be like. I still think they're cool. Human ingenuity, with limited resources, at it's best. |

Fuchs. They are NBC safe, have armour plating and plenty of space for a small squad…so enough room for a family of four, are able to 'swim' and can also be armed with a variety of pintle weapons. Why they aren't on the 28mm man list of the ten best post apoc vehicles, is beyond me. |
| Warrenss2 | 13 Jul 2009 11:39 a.m. PST |
 I did a google search for Fuch and turned up quite a bit of nude ladies. I'm certain that's NOT the PA ride your talking about so I went with the more obvious picture to post here…

NICE! |

Here's an inspiring website. link Wish they were a scale I use. |
| Cacique Caribe | 07 Aug 2009 5:48 p.m. PST |
How's this? Walmart has it for $3.97 USD picture
link I know it says it is 1/64, but it is really 3.5 cm tall and 9 cm long: link
auction
auction Are those dimensions too massive for 15-18mm gaming figures? This forum discussion implies that there might be a 1/87 model of that "Battle Rig": link This picture has the two "Battle Machines" "Battle Rigs" top center: picture
