From MattW: Rockin the 80s … Sort of (77 points)

 Rockin the 80s 

This week in between painting airborne and Greeks I painted some pieces for 1980s Cold War gaming. The vehicles are a mix of Hot Wheels and matchbox repaints. Striped then, matt undercoated, then brush painted. Hand painted sign writing. 

First up a copy of my wife’s first car a VW, that met a nasty end in a accident with a taxi and a power pole 

A Bundesgrenzschutz VW car (west German  border Police)

A Bundesgrenzschutz T1 VW van

Bundesgrenzschutz  VW work truck. 

A Bundeszollverwaltung VW truck (West German customs)

Prepare the KY

20mm vehicle @ 15 points x 5 = 75 points 

Cheers

Matt

TeemuL: That's a lot Volkswagens, Matt! But of course very common in both Germanies during the Cold War and around the rest of the Europe, too. Backdrops are excellent, too, it looks very much like an old (Bond) movie or something similar. Gotta love the details on tyres on the Zoll van - and lights, register plates etc! Yeah, take some bonus points for "hand painted shields."

I first read your first phrase as "...for 1980s Car Wars gaming." and I was WOW! But Cold War suits, too. Have you ever thought about 1980s Gaslands project? ;)
