Old Wombat's Old Stuff (Pt.1)
« on: December 14, 2013, 05:28:28 PM »
OK, Jeff (Fontaine) suggested I should put pic's of my old stuff here on BtS.

Now, I was pretty sure I had but some searching of the site revealed that, nope, I'd only put 2 old builds up here (which I'll re-do in short format).

Nothing predates 2009 because I don't have any pic's. So, unless FAAMAN has some that are of decent quality that he can scan & post, there wont be any.

(Note: All of my builds are intended to be displayed as dioramas - except the B-P/W Defender but I've only completed 2, so far.)

So, let's start with my 1st build back into modelling: A Rage Virus Survivors dio.

Guy, thanks for linking your previous work to the forum.  I always enjoyed this little vignette as it has a post-apocalypse look to it.  All that is missing are some zombies :)

Thanks, guys!

Jeff, that's probably because it is a post-apocalyptic dio.

Set loosely in the "28 Days Later"/"28 Weeks Later" universe, I occasionally call it "28 Months Later" (Buzzbomb has also used this title for a similarly themed build - & one of his builds inspired me to do this).

In a world ravaged by the Rage virus groups of survivors, called Scroungers, dig through the remnants of civilisation looking for supplies of food & materiel. Faced with isolated outbreaks of the Rage virus & roaming bands of marauders & bandits Scroungers are always well armed. This diorama shows a Scrounger reconnaissance patrol which has come upon the entrance to an old warehouse complex, where there are ample signs of a past tragedy. Still, the need for supplies demands that they investigate the site more closely.
