1/6 VTS TOYS - Wasteland Ranger: The Road to Hell

[potato]

The only can I thought of was the rifle cleaning kit.

you need to be realistic, rifle cleaning kit is a luxury item and it's not like he had a rifle to clean until later stage.

canned food, water are something you need to survive in the post apocalypse. maybe he stashed it in his car but later onwards he should at least have them inside his backpack.

anywhere we can get hydration pack & sardines cheap? there's some canned food on ebay but it's very expensive.

Rifle cleaning kit.

Unless you're referring to a different can.

Plenty of washes and earth tone dry brushing. For metal parts of weapons get a nice silver (I recommend Vallejo, hobby lobby coupon will take it down to a buck and change) and dry brush the edges where wear would occur from getting knocked around. Just remember to clear coat it and that no matter where you have friction, such as a grip, you'll have paint rub. And remember sometimes less is more! Too much weathering is as unbelievable as too little. Good luck! Looking forward to seeing your work!

Hi, thanks for the pointers! here is what i have done...

i have only weathered the shotgun so far, as i have added some extra weapons and gear to the figure to make him look a bit different. i will post some pics a bit later on...

anyway heres the shotgun...

It's a cleaning kit for a Lee Enfield .303 rifle:

Yes it is. The harness and all he had in the vest late in the movie came from the Bullet Farmer car so let's stop talking about sardines and canteens. He might have had that in the Interceptor earlier, but not in the ammo harness. All you see of that kind of stuff in his outfit is the empty bladder bag early on.

Agreed. As for your work Deathstroke87 that looks amazing, like if it's been worn due to being used alot. The scratches on the wood looks great. You did a good job.

Great touch with the goggles.

Finally got my figure today. Put him together and all. Great figure needs a darker beard. And I will do a body swap have the neck removed and weather the clothes later today.

I don't think he needs a body swap to be honest. At least not when using the scarf. The arm needs a bit of work though.
All I did was change the shirt and the bracelet. Weathered the leather and flipped the leg brace. Still wanna get to a touch up of the head, but I'm gonna finish my Grizzly Max outfit first.

That's a fantastic collection, and a lot of good work.


I agree that the body's fine. The clothes seem to be specifically tailored for it.

I'm using the scarf on both of mine, so there's no issue or hint of overly long neck.

Thank you! Appreciate it! I have some new stuff coming to make the Grizzly Max outfit more or less correct. It's been hard finding enough good pictures showing the harnesses and stuff, but I think I have it almost figured out. Will post a picture when I finish him.

Thats a great set, and it must've taken a lot of work to cobble together (especially grizzly Max). Well done man!

Do you think the leathers from the VTS figure can be used to make a Road Warrior Max? I'd love to have the 2 side-by-side...

 

[Deathstroke87]

Ok, this will be my last set of pictures of this figure, promise!

i have gained a bit of confidence in my painting/weathering abilitiesand have painted up his face, goggles and sniper rifle. and i think i am finally 100% happy now.

let me know any pointers to improve!

Thanks

I don't think the leathers are good for a Road Warrior. The Road Warrior has the belt, no repairs and has a tighter fit. More like a classic motorcycle outfit. Think maybe the Ghost Rider set would be better? But I do think that they would make a great Thunderdome Max as I think his jacket looks almost identical to the VTS version. I'm actually planning on doing just that.

Yeah I know it's not necessary buy I already swapped them out and on a banner body it looks good. I thought I show you guys my finished work.
