GASLANDS Flea Market Challenge

Using cheap diecast cars from the local flea market, we build a fleet of racetrack death machines for use in Gaslands, the game of post-apocalyptic vehicular combat from Osprey Wargames. #gaslands

Big Bird looks like it could make a good terrain piece as part of an old rusted-up fairground ride in an abandoned amusement park

[@zedthefatone2864]

Ah yes, the most iconic of rivalries: Freddy Krueger vs Captain Kirk

"just using materials we have around the house".... dozens of small parts bought of ebay and toys purchased over the last 7 years. tough challenge.

[@SEGAdude95]

AWESOME big thumbs up.. :) ;)

[@losrichie]

I can’t believe you didn’t use the Big Bird!!!!!

[@eEdselEdsel]

Cut off the beak and put in an antitank gun.

[@MacquarieRidge]

This is pretty cool. I just started making a model post apocalyptic vertical, a massive 8x8 monster truck. It isnt really for gaslands but its cool nonetheless.

[@j453]

Shoulda put the plastic mesh on the inside

[@MarcGacy]

Great video! We need to get together and play soon! I modded a few since the convention.

[@oldhammered]

Affirmative!

[@LucaBlightOfHighland]

I don't know the rules of gaslands cause i dont like tabletop games, but im really interested in the crafting of those little post-apolatittic beauties, my question is: i can take the car i prefer to transform it, or i must follow some specific guidelines? Thank you, and sorry for my bad English.

[@oldhammered]

Hi Luca. In terms of actually playing the game, you do need to decide what weapons and special abilities your team is going to have. But what I usually do is pick a car I like, build it the way I want, and then look at the rules to see how to make it fit. Unless you’re building a very specific car for the game, I’d say make what you want how you want. The crazier the better!

[@eEdselEdsel]

I just started customizing the cars. From what I understand, you can do whatever you want.

[@brandongiles6875]

The appearance of your car doesn't have to match the loadout, but as far as the type of vehicle it should be close. I would say that if you are calling something a buggy then you shouldn't be using a bus for instance. The way the rules are written modification to the physical car is optional. You can play with a toy car as-is.

@@brandongiles6875 Thank you

[@ChuckBriones-k5b]

Where is the battle mat from?

[@rustedbeetle]

Have you tried fiberglass tape instead of the plastic mesh? Terrainosaur has a video about using fiberglass tape/drywall tape instead of craft plastic mesh as a better option.

[@oldhammered]

That’s a good tip. I’ve used fiberglass tape for terrain building but not for Gaslands. Thanks!

[@Barnie2275]

Good video. Where did the decals come from?

[@oldhammered]

Thanks Barnie. I believe those are HO scale decals for model trains. Pretty sure we bought them on eBay.

[@Barnie2275]

Skirmish Wargames cool thanks

Can in get a link to the seller on ebay with the figs please

[@oldhammered]

Hi Chris. This isn’t the exact listing, but it looks pretty close: rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F282650938101

[@Zweischneid]

Gaslands, yes :-)

[@TheBlackFrog79]

What scale are the cars?

[@oldhammered]

Most standard Hot Wheels cars are probably between 1/72 and 1/64 I think.

[@ScienceFan1859]

1/64

[@pedrogoncalvesneto2451]

do some Twisted Metal style car with that fine duck

[@oldhammered]

Ha! I assume you’re referring to Big Bird. I’m trying to figure out how to turn his beak into a cannon!
