So my FLGS D&D 5e game is going on hiatus for 12 weeks, but one of our group has gone completely nuts for the new Mad Max is inspired to run Atomic Highway during the break. I've never played or run a post-apocalypse game, but am exited to bring my papercrafting skills to the table as a propmaster. I'm planning on making: - "Fortune" tokens (cards): These are like Bennies/Action Points/Fate Points from other games - a resource to change the luck of a roll.
- Paper miniatures (and flat mini stands): I'll probably find my first cut at these on this very forum! Recommendations requested!
- Vehicles!: I need a semi truck, various post-apocalyptic raiding vehicles, a dune buggy, a bus - all with weathering (or additionally some textures to lay over usual models to make them look beat up. BTW, I'm planning on making the vehicles to be able to hold minis, and fold flat!
If I create/mod/cut-trace anything, I'll share it on this thread. And, of course, any construction and play photos! So - help me with links, and I'll help us all with mods/cutfiles! Deal? Thanks in advance! OldSchoolDM! .. and so begins the searching ...

1 - First paper minis that come to mind are those by Dave Graffam. Official paper minis for Atomic Highway. They very reminiscent of Fallout series, imho. 2 - The free Fallout paper minis. They are old, they are stand-ups rather than current minis paper but they have front and back art. I found good resolution files on the new Kimerlin's site. Here!3 - some sets from "Roads of Apocalypse" series by Distrigillator, 4 - many paper mins ( old e new ) by Tomoko. 5 - several old sets by Onemonk. 6 - Mad Max by Nemo.

Found them - they are gone from OBS, but still on Paizo. They look like mercenaries only. I think I want stuff that's more punky. Checking out the rest of your recommendations.

Take a look at the Ebbles Convoy models from 2010, there should be a page of add on weapons in the jeep kit. Also, there is my mod of the Jackrabbit in this thread; link

What percentage would you guys recommend printing ravensblight's ghost truck at to make it work for 28 mm?

I'm working on cutfiles for this one now - as it is looks pretty good to me (I'm going for vehicles being 2" wide as scaling.) - will let you know. (Unless someone out there has already built it...)

Haven't built it, but when I was thinking of printing it out, I thought printing at 2 pages per page looked too large still (but acceptable) and four pages per page looked a bit small. Did not do the project (got sidetracked building Joan of Arc), but I thought that the door looked about right printing at three pages per page

I wonder how impossible Mauther's Bedford would be to get close to scale.

Did not do the project (got sidetracked building Joan of Arc), but I thought that the door looked about right printing at three pages per page That sounds pretty small. What target scale are you looking for? I'm using the width of the container to judge the scale size, in D&D 1" = 5ft, so 2" wide seems pretty good (if not a little small) and for me that is 1:1 scale on 8.5x11" paper. I think I'll build the cab, check, then the container and recheck.

Judge for yourselves: The cab will get wider when the wheels (and wheel wells) are on - so total will be about 3" wide, but I'm more concerned with the cab and cargo container size myself. So *my* verdict is for 28-32mm paper minis: Print at full size. We'll see what the final looks like in a couple days.

Just looked up the size of a shipping container, it is only 8 feet wide, so I may scale down 20% after all.

So - I built the Ghost Truck at 80%, rebuilt the White subcomact at 120% (down 80% from the last build), and the tour bus at 100% (larger model). Here they are together... Expect cutfiles for the Ghost truck and compact tomorrow evening...

I love the minis inside the vehicles.

Looks like things are shaping up. Judging by the backdrop, looks like you are planning to do high desert for your setting. Did you see Ron Caudillo's Man Semi over at Mauther's blog today?
Are there any more specific types of vehicles you are looking for? I don't see Squirmydad's Apocalypse Winnebago any more
Would any of Volker's models from Streetpaper.DE or Racepaper.DE be of use?

I don't see the Man Semi on Papermau Vermin King - could you post a pointer for me (and posterity)? Thanks! I found the Winnebago somewhere... Thanks for all the pointers everyone!

Looks like things are shaping up. I'm not actually 100% sure. Kinda building optimistically. After all, we *are* playing Atomic Highway which has longer rules for vehicle building than character building. (Note: may not actually be true, but sure seems like it.)

I'm lazy. I'll do just about anything to avoid learning about grunge brushes in photoshop. so here's my grunging solution: This: plus this: plus some silver paint, spray on adhesive, and a clear-cote equals: Atomic Highway GoB by Oracle Omega, on Flickr More details in a separate thread (I'm falling behind the threads I owe...)
