Review: Your Model Box Sci Fantasy February

Today I am reviewing Februarys edition of  Your Model Box and the theme this month is Sci Fantasy.

Lets take a look inside..

Salute 2017 Part 2

After a short brake off I went to Hassle free Miniatures and look at these minis which if I was a rich man would get all of them! I am sure I can find a game that would be able to use these surly.

Ready for a picture overload?

See anyone familiar?

Auto Shop.. a £1 shop journey for Cars as terrain.

So now I have batman its time to think of terrain as most of the bits that I have are more fantasy or just futuristic.

Mantic recently released the Walking dead all out war game and a new upgrade terrain set that has plastic cars and other bits like fences and loot tokens. Now at £18 its not bad for what you get but I wanted to see what I can do on the cheap.

Off I went to my local pound shop and stumbled upon these police cars which come in 3 styles. These looked the right scale and at £1 worth a go. So I got 2 packs and set about getting these ready.

First Job was to unscrew the wheels and get the police lights off.

I put the cars in some water to get the stickers off and cleaned up the plastic ready for a spray.

First I undercoated all the cars black as well as the seats and underside of the car.

Once these dried I grabbed all my other army painter sprays and started to give each car their new paint job.

I used army painter Dragon red, Leather brown, Uniform Grey and Wolf Grey.

After they dried they all looked like this.

Fresh of the painting room floor!

Not bad for a few hours work and a couple of pounds. I think they turned out great.

Heres some action shots..

I could defiantly go to town on these adding more detail to the lights etc even maybe get some more and reck them slightly. Loads of ideas for these at the moment.

I could even do a purple lamborghini ....

Looks like I better run back to the pound shop tomorrow and get some more.

Good one shaggy.

At salute this year I popped over to Hasslefree miniatures and picked up their Wosley miniature aka a fella very smiler to a cartoon character who solves crimes with a big dog...

I have gone for the classic look for this guy and added some turf and texture paint to the base. This mini will defiantly be used as my model of choice for any role playing game or zombie apocolypes game.

Check out Hasslefree miniatures here.

Salute Part 3 The Goodies...

After wondering the halls of Salute this year this is my haul......

So lets start of with the free stuff shale we..

The Salute Mini For This Year Steam Punk.

I was surprised to get these in the goodie bag this year. These are from the game Maelstrom's Edge and look pretty good.

You can never have enough dice

The free dice this year was also steam punk themed dice (bottom of pick). I also got a nice D10 dice for free. I did purchase however the Blood Bowl dice and the blank D6 as they will come in handy no doubt.

As I was one of the first 50 people at the Siege Studios stand i got these brushes.

Free brushes. Don't mind if i do.

I also got this mini from the GCN stand.

So what did I buy you ask well here go's......

This lovely looking show exclusive Jezebel Mini from Prodos games...

This fantastic looking mini from Anvil Industries which is either a black smith with an anvil or a bloke with a sword on fire...Which one am I going to make I wonder...

I found a company called Midlam Minitures which produced some lovely metal minis perfect for any fantasy games like frostgrave at £2 a model!

So a Barbarian, Bard, 2 Thieves and a Towns Folk walk into a bar.

Talking of cheap how about these two fro 20p each..

Now I must admit I saw this on the web from Crooked Dice and I loved them so when I saw them up close I had to get them..

Doooo, Raaaaa..Egon!

Who you gunna call The Paranormal Exerminators of course.... They even had an Ecto 1 on sale but I resisted just.. I did see how ever that TTCombat make a fire station....

I may have to check out ZTV for some rules...

After my KOW demo I decided to get this as it was going very cheap. I liked it was fast paced and seemed pretty easy to set up and play.

Now I saw this from Hasslefree Miniatures and had to get it..... I cant figure out who he is supposed to be though?

I think he has forgotten some rules again..

Now salute from me would not be complete with out getting some hobby bits and terrain so here go's..

Some nice flesh colours working out for £1 each

Forests

I have been wanting to try these for my bases to see if they can give a bit more life to them as seen as I now have the Wargames Bakery die to create my own bases now this might give a nice finish.

Run to the hills!

And last but not least some market tables from TTCombat.

So as you can see this year was very fruitful in terms of hobby supplies. I defiantly have plenty to be getting on with. Now I just have to find a place to store it all..

So heres to Salute 2017....
