Mayhem City Broadcasting Company- WMBC Channel 13 News

Well after deciding in my last post that I would call the TV Station (and Radio Stations) Operated by Mayhem (City) Broadcasting Company WMBC, I needed a vehicle for the News team. I have the eM4 Female Reporter and Cameraman for the team. The vehicle I have for them right now is the now Out of Print Ebbles Miniatures M11 4x4 (pulled it off the also now Out of Print Ebbles Archive DVD that I purchased back before Christmas 2010), I chose the Grey version for the News team. For the transmitting equipment I tried to see if I could find a Satellite dish on the Ebbles Archive DVD, unfortunately i wasn't able to, so I went with the Helios Thermosolar Generator from the 2008 Farmstead set on the DVD, since it looks like it might pass as a satellite dish of a sort.

I am planning on building a Jeepvee 4x4 also for the News team, as a newer vehicle, that the Channel 13's top reporter will use.

Here's some pics of the cardstock model with the eM4 Female reporter and cameraman (along with some eM4 Bikers as security) for scale, and one of the Ebbles Helios Solar Generators that is a stand alone unit.

The Channel 13 News team with their new ride and some body guards.

The News team close up. Note the Helios Solar Generator (Helios Satellite Transmitter/Receiver) on the M11's roof.

 

 

Another Helios "Satellite Transmistter/Receiver". This one received a small mod, I added the "antenna" you see on most satellite dishes, its made from a piece of wire bent into a U shape and a seed bead.

Just a small note the Helios Thermosolar Generators were printed at a Reduced scale. When printing I chose the option for multiple pages to be printed on one page, and had it selected for 4 pages. Since this is only a one page model it only printed in the top left corner of the page, feeding the page through the printer 3 more times, with each time feeding a different edge netter me 4 of the generators on one piece of cardstock, more then enough for the New Team, with an extra one or two for use by the Military or even a community of survivors who use it to communicate with other pockets of Humanity.

Some more Ebbles Card Stock Models

I still am short on Card Stock, haven't had a chance to get to the store and pick up more. I did find 4 blank sheets of cardstock that I had tucked away in one of the manila file folders I use to organize my ATZ campaign notes and also for spare parts of my cardstock models (such as the extra wheels for the M11's and the weaposn for said M11s that I didnt use). With these 4 sheets I printed out a copy of the Barrack Prop set off of my Archive DVD from 2007. I primarily wanted to see how they look in the Folding Unit Structures.

Here are 3 pics of the Medium Urban Gray FUS (with doors cut open ala Bryan/Vampifan).

A close up of the table with the laptop

A zoomed out view showing the two double bunks two tables, a desk,and two large lockers. Both doors do open, and the walls are straighter then they look.

Another close up, this time the Cowgirl (Reaper Chronoscopes Ellen Stone Cowgirl) show all the viewers her cleavage, while the Anime Schoolgirl (Reaper Chronoscope Candy, Anime Heroine) hides behind the bunk with her pink hari and pink gun. eM-4's Road Warrior is heading out the door, now what was he doing in the same barracks as two lovely young ladies???

Quick Break from playing Fallout New Vegas

I am taking a small break from playing Fallout New Vegas. Great game by the way.

My order of minis from eM4 came in today. Must say the minis are nicer looking them the images on the eM4 website shows. All my figures also look like Doug over at eM4 primed them before shipping. Cleanest figures I have ever had, no flash or mold lines visible anywhere on the figures. Only one has any sort of imperfection and that's Rouge Scavenger w/ Assault Rifle and Survival Equipment. on the front of his hat is a small hole from where there was an air bubble during casting. This hole is easily filled though, so it isn't too big of a deal for me.

I of course picked up a copy of Bryan's (Vampifan) Big Sil and Angie (Fat Biker w/ Auto Shotgun and Female biker w/ Auto Shotgun), though mine wont be Big Sil and Angie, I will be calling them something else in my campaigns.

I also picked up the Savage w/ Punch Dagger, Handgun and Hockey Mask, he of course will be a ganger, though not the head of the one gang in my Mackinac Campaign (the gang leader is a Heroclix King Pin figure from original Heroclix release), he will probably be one of the Lieutenants for the King Pin figure (who I am have given the last name of Rex to, since Rex is Latin for King, LOL).

I picked up some of the NBC Troopers, along with the Corporate Guard/Militia/SWAT figures, the Female Reporter and her Cameraman, Road Hero w/ Auto Shotgun and one of the female scavengers.

In all I purchased 15 figures and have another 2 or 3 dozen I want to get (yes there are duplicates such as the NBC Troopers and Corporate Guard/Militia/SWAT in that list). I will probably get to actually painting the figures here later this week. Right now I am just starting with doing the flesh on the figures, will figure the colors for the clothes and everything later. Photos will be coming along with photos of my other figures.
