4x4 and Gran with a shotgun

Been catching up doing the garden this weekend.Managed to get just the one Hasslefree figure done which is Madge the shotgun toting granny. Another fantastic figure from Hasslefree the post is jst great and I really enjoyed painting her.




Vehicle wise I managed to pick up some emergency 4x4's a Police and a Fire and Rescue one from ASDA for £2.00 each. There is an Ambulance as well but sadly there where none available. Scale Is supposodly 1:60 but they had some truck listed at 1:43 but they where tiny so not quite sure how accurate they are. I've included a few Hasslefree figures for scale.

    I love an old broad with a break-apart.

    I think the cars are just a little large, but work very well with BASED figures. The Bases bring the cars to a better scale. Also love the granny.

    Madge looks great, I've got one of these lurking at the bottom of the lead pile; really must get on with it at some point.

    Madge is a very cool figure (I have one myself) and you've done a lovely job, the vehicles are fine in scale especially as something to hide behind...

    Great job on the Madge. I should get one to go with my Hasslefree Nicholas Angel and co. "Farmers and their mums". :) Those are some nice looking vehicles, too. I think they scale in niceley.

    Good work as always Brummie! I'll have to get a shuffle on to my local ASDA I think ...

    BTW, nearly bought 7TV at the weekend solely because of your fanboy posts, but it's having to wait for Salute

    Thanks guys. The 4x4's will just be terrain/cover.

    @CMNASH I'd highly recommend it. I would picked up the gadget cards and counters though whilst your at it. They are next on my shopping list

    Looking good Simon!

    Cars are a bit big but should not pose a problem as such. Still a good find mate.

    Madge...I need to get hold of that miniature as well.....

    Thanks Johnny.

    I don't think they are that big lol. Perhaps I should add a photo with some other figures other than Hasslefree.

    Great job on the figure; granny, farmer's wife, survivor or HM shooting on her estate.

    So its oft to Asda this weekend then, they look like they'll fit in nicely with the largish cars I got from poundland this week. Don't worry too unduly about the scale, they look good as-is.

    Cheers Guys

    @Zabadak It needs to be a big ASDA if you know what I mean. They are not with the normal toys theres like a pocket money section with mostly what I call crap plasticy toys. I found them amongst that

    Brummie,

    The cars are perfect scale. I hate not having a Poundland.
