Gaslands Conversion and Painting - How I Paint Things

- Death Race, Dark Future, Mad Max... Gaslands! Gaslands pits racers against one another in armed vehicular combat where reaching the finish line isn't always the easiest way to win a race! READ MORE:
I'm not entirely sure why that first clip is so blurry, so my apologies! Still getting used to the new setup and there's a few tiny things left to tweak, I think.
The best thing about Gaslands is that you're free to use any Hot Wheels, Matchbox or similarly-sized car to play, and while you needn't necessarily convert them, that's half the fun! Slapping spare guns and plates of armour from your Space Marines or Orks on to a Matchbox car only takes a few minutes and it's an absolute laugh.
Check out the Gaslands official site for more information and the 'Friends of Gaslands' network where local distributors will be able to supply you with skid dice and maneuver templates: gaslands.com/s...

Great job here Sledge!
For anyone looking to make their first foray into modding cars for Gaslands, this list I put together for a mate might give you some ideas:
• Hot Wheels, Matchbox and Greenlight cars (the latter can be a bit delicate).
• Dremel and wire brushes for weathering.
• A 4.76mm drill bit is perfect for drilling out posts so that you can disassemble your cars. Go slow.
• I find epoxy glue applied with an old brush to be more reliable than super glue, especially when bonding two different materials.
• Biostrip 20 to strip the factory paint job off the diecast car bodies (there's nout better on the market for stripping metal or plastic minis either). Don't apply any strippers to the softer plastics of the interiors etc. They *will not* play nice.
• Paperclips or fibre optic cable for aerials.
• Large paperclips bent for roll cages and bars.
• A fine aluminium mesh for replacing windows (the kind used for car body work). I use ISOPON.
• Hot glue to stop the wheels turning. It works a treat and is easily removed down the line.
• Bicarb sprinkled onto superglue to create a rust texture.
• Weathering powders made from pastel shavings.
• Oil washes thinned with white spirit for recess shading and weathering.
• Ride eternal, shiny and Molotow Liquid Chrome.
• Tamiya masking tape for putting down racing stripes (scientifically proven to make you roll better).
• A tap set, tiny screws and washers so you can put threads into the drilled out posts. Makes future assembly/disassembly easier.
• Anvil Industry and North Star Implements of Carnage sprues for weapons, drivers etc and their pewter minis.
• Stuff from a big ol' bits bag. I recommend trawling eBay for people selling cheap bags of bits if you don't have many weapons etc.
• Small necklace chain from eBay that scales well with 20mm/1:64.
• Slide fit brass tubing for making new axles if I want to lift cars (1mm, 2mm, 3mm from Albion Metals).
• Cocktail sticks for spikes.
• Plain and diamond tread plasticard from Green Stuff World.
• Shiny and matte topcoats depending on mood.
Brilliant shopping list! Cheers for taking the time to share. :D

Lol or just take any car my kids have played with 4 5 minutes and the wheels will already be stuck and paint pre messed up for you! :)
Pls more of Gaslands!
I am always amazed how much better a good paint job looks after varnish. Uniform reflectivity ties the whole car together. What a great video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much. There are so many waaaaay over the top tutorials on painting Gaslands cars. This is a basic, easily doable method that gives great results. I appreciate it.
Sweet!
Me and a buddy are currently looking at doing Gorkamorka in Gaslands scale, been remixing some orks and a trak for 3d printing my gang, still gotta do a a couple more gangers and a pair of bikes and ill be in action.
Any special rules for doing Gorkamorka? I've never played, but I remember reading about a rule where the audience would open fire on the least popular racer. It seems like a brilliant idea for a game.
@@evanlindsey1100 Special rules->The Gorkamorka rulebooks are available for free online, GW put them up in pdfs on their Specialist Games website back when that was a thing.
As for the audience firing on someone, that was probably reporting about the Gorkamorka racing events that were held back at GWs Games Day somewhere between 97 and 99.
Most of Gorkamorka takes place out in the desert and has gangs taking on each other rather than racing for an audience.
Ah twisted metal and Vigilante 8
HECK YEA Mad Max Hotwheels. Please show me a juggernaut Semi-truck and Trailer decked out in warhammer 40k weapons and spikey bits
This so my favourite Gaslands painting tutorial! Simple and easy with lots of room to get more fiddly and detailed if you want. Much appreciated!
You had me at HotWheels...you had me a Guns.... heck loved it all!
Nice! Gaslands is the best!
Let me say this first: I'm not a Mustang Fan. Chevy is the Path I follow! Secondly,..I watch and like, subscribe to all your videos. I'm a Fan. and Thank You!, but watching you grind that pretty paint job and destroy it completely is saddening,.....rather Horrific! but great Video.
Mad Max aproved this video
Well, that was different. Scratch building... why not?!? Thank you. Cheers
What a fun project! I’m going to have to read up on Gaslands now… 😜
Rust is my favorite thing to paint!
Keep in mind a lot of "metallic" car parts are made of aluminum, which typically corrodes white.
Late to the party here... But I just picked Gaslands up a few weeks ago. Purchased some dice and template sets from Etsy and my son and I have converted four cars apiece to use in the game. Modded them with GW bits, plasticard for armor plating, mesh for the windows, and pretty much and other little bits and bobs we thought would make them look cool. can't wait to actually get a game in.
Excellent choice! It's a riot. I'd thoroughly suggest start with just a car each and careen around a small track, but once you've got a grip on how the cars handle and how the rules interact with one another, go nuts. :D
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Will do. Also thought it would be fun to buy some Mario Cart cars from Hot Wheels and use the rules for a tabletop race : )
Stumbled over your channel while looking for some Blitz Bowl information. Cellar holds a bunch of BB, Infinity, Zombicide, Gaslands, Frostgrave, Necromunda items ... will keep watching. Two thumbs up!
Welcome aboard!
That is a very nice build.
Great that you are back, I'm now off to liberate some of my grandsons toy cars, (he'll never know!). Really like this Gaslands look. If you like this thing have a look at Bill Making Stuff, he does similar things and is obsessed with rust and bashed up cars and lorries. Brilliant video as always
Please more gasoline's content
great presentation!!! This will go well with a Car Wars campaign. Auto Duel Quarterly! Woooooooooooo!
This game looks grest. Plus you get to make your own miniatures.
Can you use baking soda on the weaker peices?
You could try! I've never needed to, but I've seen it can be pretty strong with some super glue.
Pls make Gaslands terrain
I'd love to see you do a gas lands semitruck or the like, but moreso more conversions!!! I love your style of teaching us how to do them!
That is awesome 👍
Awesome build
I'm not gonna play the game, but I now have a project for the nephew and I to do together! That looks damn fun to make.
I want to do up a real car now. But hot wheels cost less, paydays coming up.
Just a tip -
Personally, I think it's *way* easier to paint the tires *before* you glue the wheels in place.
I found it a little easier to be able to set the car down and paint without it rolling around, but I can definitely see rolling wheels being simpler to paint, too.
I learned about using drywall tape recently, as not only does it have an adhesive side, but reacts well to superglue. Apparently the plastic 'granny mesh' doesn't like superglue or other adhesives and can have some problems with actually staying on. I picked up a roll recently to try out for various projects.
Now that's interesting! Something I'll definitely have to try.
I really needed this! The lack of drill has made this so much easier!
Amazing!!!!!!
Beautiful.
AWESOME!
This is so cool, I’m off to google gas lands...
It's an awfully deep rabbit hole! :D
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio I’m already on thingaverse & eying off my sons cars.. lol
This is awesome. Starting my first car today and I'm so excited to get back into the hobby after what seems like an eternity.
Amazing video! Great that you show that you can achieve amazing results with minimal tools. Not everyone has a Dremel or such like and doesn’t want to start using paint stripping chemicals😊
That was great! I hope you do some more of these in the future. Thanks for sharing this.
Do you.think you.would do a celestial lions paint tutorial in the future?
Not likely, I'm afraid. I've done a *lot* of Space Marines by this point. On the plus side, though: Gold armour and blue plate? I've done a couple of Stormcast Eternal videos which would quite literally be how I'd paint Celestial Lions!
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio never saw that one thankyou!!
Question #1 How long does it take for the primer to dry?
Question #2 what did you use to keep the car on the tube while painting?
Hell yeah! Great video
Such a cool project. Conversions are so much fun
Why don't you want the wheels to stick in place? I guess it is so they won't roll away if you don't have a flat surface.
Very nice job on this conversion! Gained a sub from me 👊
what is that black stuff he used in the final touches? is it just watered down paint?
Army Painter Strong Tone. It's similar to Agrax Earthshade which you could use instead, or Nuln Oil.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio thanks :)
For mine, I drilled out the pins under so I could strip, mod and paint then reassemble in such a way the wheels still work
Yes ... yes! More gaslands
I just picked up the game a couple days ago and acquired some suitable cars. Looking forward to giving them that post-apocalyptic feel. You make it look easy, as always!
Thank you! I've got the book but have been hesitant to destroy the toy cars. That looks awesome with some simple techniques. I second the call for more gaslands painting tutorials!
If someone wants to do an all over wash, I highly recommend AK interactive's streaking grime or oil washes, and then just cleaning it up with mineral spirits to your liking. I know that's something that probably terrifies new painters, but it really does help negate tide marks and makes it look very grungy!
I love the stuff- just clear coat over it before applying the wash if you are using GW paints.
Will paint stick to the chrome parts of a hot wheels?
If they're primed first, ordinarily yes. Just painting straight on the plastic chrome stuff won't ordinarily stick too well.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio, thank you for your answer!
Why asked is that I have seen on my old 78 Dodge Aspen with chrome headers and side pipes that the chrome basically looks the same as when a they paint the chrome on the hot wheels it looks very similar.
Over time the headers had some rust on it there were pitted areas on the side pipes as well, and discoloration of the pipes giving it an iridescent colouration to it.
So what I was thinking was transparent purples, blues, and either copper or bronze painted over the chrome parts of the pipes that are closer to the engine block causing this effect.
Looks great, needs maybe a sandier brown or tan on the tyres and lower skirts?
I thought about drybrushing some dust, but there's plenty of tracks in Gaslands that are also supposed to be tarmac or similar. I figured I'd save the time, though you certainly could!
Great to see you do some building. Can we see the rest of your Gaslands collection?
Brilliant
Very inspiring!
Any plans to ever do some Bolt action Afrika Korps? Love your vidoes! My go to for Bolt action paint guru! :D
There's actually a couple of Afrika Korps videos on the channel already! One using traditional paints, the other Contrast. They're Perry Miniatures rather than the 'official' Bolt Action stuff, but WW2 is WW2 when it comes to painting them.
Cool!
great Job on that one, very realistic
My dad had an old 3 on the tree hq prem that was painted in kill rust blue with a paint roller. It was very close to this same colour, even the rust spots lol. Turns out the car was way too far gone for the kill rust to actually kill the rust haha still, it was bloody awesome car👌
Can't beat the old HQs for style!
Wow I’ve find a new rabbithole to dive into!
me too ..... I have attempted painting 28mm figures for Fistful of Lead Reloaded cowboy western game and now want to mod cars for Gasland. I don't have Gasland yet but have a ton of extra Hotwheel cars to transform.
@@JohnWise-vg3zj It’s a lot of fun! I wanna say I actually used spare necromunda weapons for my first (and only so far) gaslands car! It feels good to be able to put those spare bits to use.
@@themagicalcactus1941 I don't have any extra stuff from other games, so I'm headed to Dollar General in hopes to find miscellaneous craft stuff to use.
I think I've watched this video at least ten times. Such a wonderful comprehensive intro to the world of gaslands painting. Thank you so much for this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That's a lovely blue, reminds me of working as a paint mixer in a garage parts shop many many years ago!
Nice one! It's pretty close to my grandfather's race car livery, too, so good memories all around with this one. ;D
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio awesome! I may end up doing mine this kind of colour 😁
Thank you , Sonic .
A great project. How many cars do you need for Gaslands? I mean, do you need one for each player, or needs every player different cars as team or for different weapon-options?
You'll need at least one car for each player, and many game modes encourage a player to control a race duo as a team entry. That said, it's really up to how you want to play, but once you've painted one, you won't stop!
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Thank you very much! These days I'm very cautious with new rules, since there are many Minis waiting for paint. But 4 or 6 cars will be fun and good for variation.
