Here are some junker cars I made for an upcoming ME game. They might be part of a wall or just rubble to provide cover. I'm by no means artistic, but this was fun. I like the middle one, the others will need a few more coats for rust and such. 1. Bought some toy cars at the Dollar store. 2. Covered them in aluminum foil. Press gently but try to be firm. You want to capture the detail of the model. 3. Gently peel foil away from the car. 4. Use the foil as a mold for plaster of paris. 5. Might have to trim up the plaster a bit after it dries. 6. A few coats of paint and there you go. Attachments:

Thanks, man. The cars could have more artistic beauty, but I really love the crushed in body, dented sides and melted look. Like they've been through hell and back.

Thanks, brother. I initially got the idea from kids making foil car bodies for crash up derbies. Toy monster trucks can easily roll over and crush them. Then I found this site. s1.zetaboards.com/Post_Apoc_Wargames/index/Lots of good ideas there. And here.. But that won't hold plaster. I found a flat head screwdriver is great for carving out windows and truck beds after the plaster cures. If you recall from the old Thundarr cartoons, the artists would save money by reusing the animation of Thundarr, Ookla and Ariel's horses jumping over something. (Most of the time at the beginning of the episode.) The animators only had to replace the object blocking their path; a junk car, tree or rubble. That's what I had in mind and I think it works ok.
