Emergency Breakdown Cover - Ash Wastes Salvage Vehicle

There's something about big civilian sci-fi vehicles that really appeals to me, and it's been a lot of fun working on my Ash Wastes salvage vehicle which I finished off the last few touches earlier. Very little has changed from the build. I essentially sprayed it with a yellow car spray before weathering it within an inch of its life!

 

 

I used my tried and tested blister pack foam and washes over the yellow base coat. There was a point yesterday when I was worried I'd gone too far, and ended up with a distress chunk of resin which was impossible to work out what was what.

 

I sought some feedback, and was advised to add markings and try and break up the colour, so in came the white infill panels, the big '2' decal, hazard stripes and a few other little touches.

 

The small additions did enough (hopefully) to make it visually readable and still beaten up and thoroughly abused!



I may still yet go back and add more dirt to the tyres, but for now they'll do.

I've kept the curved area as a sort of view port.

 



Various decals to represent warning signs / vehicle designation.

It's a pretty big beastie!



"So that will be 360 creds for the repairs back at the shop, and 7,000 creds for the tow. Don't like it? See how long you last out here - there's a storm coming."

I'm looking forward to using the vehicle in my games, and I suspect it might be shown in the background of a fair few scenic shots too!
