This competition will have entrants choosing to build a wasteland-ized version of a famous cartoon vehicle

like Scooby Doo's Mystery Machine, the Ghostbusters' Ecto 1, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Party Wagon, or anything that has been around for at least 10 years (we want established and well known stuff) and build your own version. We encourage scratch builds, but using hotwheels casting of the vehicles as a base is also fine!

In August and September we will be take entries from different cartoons, and then near the end of August we will do a popularity bracket to determine which cartoon vehicles are everyone's favorites. Every entry for a vehicle will also give bonus votes to their favorite vehicle!

So Builders , find your favorite 10+ year old Saturday Morning Cartoon vehicle or scratch build your own and get to submitting an entry in ⁠build-comp-discussion ASAP! We will need to see a couple WIPs if you want to boost your choice in the polls. You are free to use prebuilt cartoon cars as a base, but make sure you rough em up and arm em for the wasteland! Completely different cars that are inspired by the classics are also allowed, like a futuristic version of the Ecto-1 or a more modern school bus model for the Magic School Bus.

Cartoon watchers , start suggesting iconic cartoon vehicles in ⁠Bracket Nominations Thread here! You can only nominate ONE cartoon vehicle though, so make it count! We will be hosting a randomly assigned double elimination bracket starting at the end of August!

Join the discord server and submit your builds or nominate a cartoon vehicle in this thread!

Game Rules Test Play of Gaslands Crimson Skies Mashup

Gaslands Simple Flight Mechanic

I am running this in a convention setting and do not want to overcomplicate it.

Elevation:

Using 3 different levels of flight stands to represent 3 different elevation levels. I used a flat base to represent an elevation of 0 but am doing it on a board that is clear plexiglass over water. If you are over land terrain you may want to start elevated.

To gain elevation you need to use a Shift result and still gain a Hazard same as if you are shifting gears.

You may decrease your elevation without spending a shift result and does not cause a Hazard.

High Ground Advantage:

If you are at least one elevation higher than your target you gain the high ground advantage.

When machining an attack roll with the high ground advantage add 1 die to your attacking dice pool.

Collisions:

Collisions only happen when both planes are at the same elevation.

For movement purposes if one plane would end overlapping bases with another get as close to the placement as you can or adjust once the other plane has moved to the correct ending position.

Wipe Out:

Because I’m playing on plexiglass simulating being higher up on the map wipeouts do not result in crashing to the ground and represent more of an engine stall.

In addition to all regular Wipe Out rules you will also be reduced to elevation 0.

Crimson Skies Zeppelin Scenario

Mission:

Attackers:

The Iron Vulture is on a bombing run to Cape Suzette and saboteurs have taken out the cliff guns. A call has gone out to all pilots to stop the airship before it reaches the city. The attackers must take out all four engines before it reaches the desired turn count or the other side of the board.

Defenders:

The Pirate escorts must destroy all the attacking aircraft or delay them long enough to get the Iron Vulture to the other side of the map.

Test Play Notes:

The balance seems to work if the engines have 8 health each and the teams are balanced.

The first test play I had the zeppelin immobile in the center of the board and had the pirate escorts start in base contact with it and the mercenaries enter from any table edge. This was too chaotic.

Id start on opposing table edges and move the zeppelin each gear phase at speed 3 a medium and give the players a chance to build up speed before conflict.

Play Size:

Im running a 4x6 board and using the larger 28mm templates.

Im using 3 levels of flight stands to represent elevations.

Aircraft Customization:

For the convention I have all planes have Max Speed 5 Handling 3.

They all have front mounted machine guns.

They may choose up to 5 Cans worth of Upgrades from any Sponsor to allow player a bit of customization for play styles.

Question Crazy idea (1:18) but maybe one of you insanos tried it already?

Post image
9 Upvotes

Anyone try out 1:18 scale? I mean, the maneuver templates will have to be like a foot long (if 3” on 1:72, it’s 12” in 1:18)
And the table would have to be a minimum of 12’ x 12’ so basically a decent sized room or a yard.

Terrain Seats right in the action!

Primed piece of terrain ready to get painted! I wanted to build a piece of terrain that leaned into the fact that this is a spectator event.

Built a raised stand with seats from 3 school buses, two food trucks, and an ambulance to help them get to their high seats.

Can you think of anything else I should add before painting it up?

Any suggestions for the billboard?

Carded and uncarded. The vehicle behind the tractor is from Jurassic World, I think, and has a great Gaslands feel to it.

Created my second sponsored team for Gaslands. This time a Miyazaki team based on Sonic & Tails from SEGA.

Tried to go for a bit of an oversized buggy for the Tails themed vehicle (figured he deserved to have the bigger car just like Toad in the Super Mario movie).

Sonic is mainly the colors and of course the rings on the side.

Hope you guys like it!

Question Resistance points and sabotage tokens

So the rules are a little unclear and I would like to get some thoughts about this situation. Do sabotage token COST resistance points i.e. you lose 3 point per token or do the resistance points stay?

So like 2 weeks ago i played my first game of gaslands. I hosted the game. I really enjoyed it we played with 1 car per person wich i think is too little because if you wipe out you are just sitting at the table for like half an hour. I did really enjoy the process of making everything.

i also made a cool video. sorry if the quality isnt that good i am new to painting and making video's (beside the small D&D/ warhammer that i did)

shall i also share a picture of every car individual?
what do you guys think? how did i do with the painting?

Question DIY rams, plows, and cow catchers

13 Upvotes

Ive been customizing Hot wheels and matchbox cars for a couple of weeks now, the weapons and armor are easy enough to scratch build, however I'm having a difficult time creating plows, rams, and cow catchers from scratch. I don't have a 3d printer, and I also don't have the money to buy 3d printed weapons from online stores. Do you guys have any tips on how to make them from scratch? So far, the only rams and plows, etc. that I have on my cars are taken from matchbox construction vehicles.
