Those Meddling Kids again...

Hi all

At PAW this year, in between showing my zombie apocalypse game I chatted with the vendors and other demonstrators - a really friendly bunch. One chap was playing my game, using the post apocalypse "Not Mystery Inc" Scooby Gang from Hasslefree miniatures and he happened to remark about the lack of a Mystery Machine. This happens to be a sore subject with me, as i've wanted a MM for ages, ever since I got these bad boys and gals! The "not" Mystery Inc miniatures from Hasslefree Miniatures.

Thankfully this conversation was overheard by the event organiser and owner of Clive's Diecasts - Clive Dudley. Clive dashed off and came back with this....

I think most of us can see the potential in this Russian mid sized panel van. This is of course what I was aiming for.

When I got home I added some small card circles to the wheels to make hubcaps and a couple of mdf bases to represent the spare wheel at the front of the van.

I then covered the windows and sprayed the whole thing with a grey primer, before painting the body of the vehicle with turquoise acyrlic paint. Then shaded with blue ink before drybrushing the whole thing with turquoise.

I then hand painted all of the decals with a mix of scarlet, knarloc green and black.

Not perfect, but I'm really pleased with the result.

So normally I would leave it here, but I was really lucky to receive the pre-apocalypse "not" Mystery Inc gang from Hasslefree. I've literally just finished them and here they are...
