Modelling For Hippos ishoo Twenty-Sven: Mishkin Weapons.

I've been playing Gaslands for almost a year now, but it's taken until now for me to decide to upload some blog projects. This is partially because everyone will end up with different cars, and partially because it's not that hard to just slap some plasticard armour on a car. What is harder is working out how to build some of that crazy Mishkin weaponry! So here's Grot to explain.

Note: Evergreen styrene tubes come in a range of sizes. They are designed so that the even numbered tubes will nest with the other even numbered tubes, while the odd will nest with the odd. Most of these projects have used No.425 and No.427 as these are nice and small, and a 2.5mm rod will nest nicely inside a No.425 tube. Evergreen's website has an invaluable size chart which will help to plan this sort of project.

THE ARC LIGHTNING PROJECTOR:

THE KINETIC ACCELERATOR

THE THUMPER:

THE GRAVITY GUN

THE MAGNETIC DISRUPTOR

There you go Hippo fans - all five cars took me a single morning to make, with time off the read books about aerospace history and stare into space, so there's no reason you can't bash out a Mishkin team in a weekend.

Stand by for more Gaslands material, including painting and building Gigahorse style double-decker cars.
