Redneck Warband (pic heavy)

[Lord of the Dish Pit]

I've been working on these since last year, a couple figures at a time. I hope to eventually put together an entire army of them but redneck sculpts aren't that easy to find. The chronoscope zombie hunters/survivors and the new hillbilly are next on the list of acquirements. 

The car is a 1/32 scale 1970 Plymouth Road Runner from Jada Toys Fast and Furious line. Somewhat over scale, but it looks close enough and is easy to take apart.

I resisted the urge to Mad Max it as I wanted it to be more along the lines of a car left in the barn for some years before TSHTF.

I chose to use warmer colors to match popular 70s shades and to give it a hint of the General Lee.

These two are the first ones I painted and the freehand flannel isn't the best but it give him the look of a regular farmer. The one on the right is a combination of Darryl from the Walking Dead and Rambo. Both are from Wargames Factory Apocalypse Survivors:The Men.

Next are Westwind's Redneck Militia. They were fun to paint, especially the cans of Hamms.

Berkeley was done as a homage to Ash from Army of Darkness.

I freehanded more flannel on Billy Joe and it came out much better than my first attempt and the flag on his hat came out better than I expected.

The flock on his overalls was an accident but I'm leaving it as it suggests the white lightning in his jug caused him to stumble a bit. I also am happy with the freehand on his rag.

Bobby Jo is the one that I think came out the best.

Eventually I'll get them another vehicle and some plasticville mobile homes.

Awesome. That car looks truly gritty and ready to run over some bad guys....if the oil stays in the engine.

Yeeehhaaaww!!!

 

I like 'em!

[Tjrez]

nice job

[Chaoswolf]

Great looking bunch!

[Kangaroorex]

I can hear the theme from the Dukes of Hazard just looking at that group.  Great job!

I like them. The first thing that popped into my head was that you need an ugly lime green Ford pickup if you're going for the 70s feel. I have one in my junk pile and there's a few others floating around the area. What was Ford thinking with that god awful colour.

[Lidless Eye]

Fantastic theme and execution!

Nice.  That could be my family reunion... if there were more guns and some pickup trucks.  : )

Good paintin

Exactly what it says on the can: REDNECK WARBAND, with vehicle. And very well done! Suitable for zombie skirmish or Dukes Of Hazzard Gone Bad, whatever your fancy.

Nice!

Now you make me want to find a pickup in that scale...

 I'm absolutely certain that's exactly how she was intended when they sculpted her - the chainsaw, the shotgun, the zombie hand grabbing her pants...

 

 I did the full conversion on mine...
