Pretty Pictures: Gaslands Mishkin and Pirates.

Well, there's only a few hours left in 2019, just enough to squeeze one last blog post in so this isn't the most embarrassingly low post-rate year in TFH history...
So here are some pics of the painted heavy truck, plus some other projects and full pics of all the mishkin cars too!

Behold! The heavy truck, plus the smaller truck made from the spare cab, plus a friend who donated a chassis to the smaller truck.

This then is the full and undiluted might of MIDNIGHT ROGER. I have deiced to name my pirate truck MIDNIGHT ROGER. Because it amuses me to do so.

The detail on the wagon tail lights is very soft, making painting them somewhat guesswork. Fortunately, I know what a 1956 Chevy tail light look like, so this should be fairly accurate...

Harpoon gun and gunner are both Northstar Miniatures. I find them a bit hard to paint - the figures all have their arms out front grabbing a wheel or a weapon, and it's hard to manoeuvre the brush to get to their chests.

Note the freehanded pirate markings.

Behold the Mighty Boy! I am sure that, had Suzuki been building cars in 1956, this is what they would have been building.  Due to the whole hot wheels scale thing, this is a 56 Ford F-100 cab on the chassis of a mini. In real life, the mini would be about the length of the bonnet and maybe half the door.

The Mighty Boi has been armed with a load of dropped weapons. They could be any of the dropped weapons really, but they are red barrels which as we all know means they will explode.

Behold the Smol Panzer! I sent a WIP pic of this to my brother, and he instantly dubbed it 'Der Smol Panzer' and the name sort of stuck... It's the mini which gave up it's chassis for the Mighty Boi mounted to the tracks from a Matchbox resuce tank. 

Smol Panzer is armed with rockets. It's not a tank, it's just a car fitted with tank tracks. It's probably not that great an idea to be honest, but I had the parts.

Mishkin time! You all know this one.

Rear view as well.

This is the buggy with Gravity Gun. I dropped it just before the photo and the top prong of the grav gun broke...

I have two more of this model - kinda thinking maybe a rutherford buggy team - they look sort of like cockpits from fighter planes. That's the sort of military tech Rutherford would have... Might even add wings...

This is probably a performance car. It's pretty jacked up and all-terrain looking, but it's too big and heavy for a buggy. Anyway, it's got the arc lightning cannon.

I tried to find cars for Mishkin with some sort of round detailing at the back - often some sort of tyre - which I can repurpose into some sort of generator by painting a glow in them.

This is the car with the magnetic disruptor. The glass on this one was mis-installed and also warped. I've realigned it, but you can still see the shape is not right on both sides...

And there's the magnetic disruptor.

Van with thumper. It took a while to find a mishkin-y van, and when I did, it had glow in the dark wheels...

Well, there you go Hippo Fans - the last post of 2019. As for what 2020 holds, well, you'll just need to check back tomorrow when I'll probably post some sort of rambling plan or something.
