Gaslands Slay Ride Advent(ure) #17: Bauble

Today’s post was brought to you by the letters “N”, for “norovirus” and “L” for “late”.

Gaslands Slay Ride Advent(ure) #14: Comet

That guy with the flag seems quite pleased with himself.

Another one of these festive beasts, just like GSRA#7, of limited use in Gaslands without some modification.

As this piece is part of a composite, it didn’t get worked on immediately. I will include this and #7 with the final component.

Gaslands Slay Ride Advent(ure) #13: Tyres

Piles of tyres.

Alight or simply at rest, isthere anything more representative of the shocking mess that we as a species have turned the planet into?

The answer to that question is, obviously, “yes”, so I don’t want to talk about it, but here are some tiny, cheerful, Xmas-y, post-apocalyptic tyres prepped for vroom-vroom games that I play to distract myself from the horror.

BUBUBUBUBUBUBAAAD TO THE BONE.

Somewhat ill defined tyres. I can work with that.

Like the other terrain pieces in this project, the tyres got a rapid basing and weathering before being consigned to a lifetime of being imaginarily crashed into by the maggot-like people eking out a horrendous existence on the corpse of the dead world that exists in the stories in my head… soon coming to real life near you.

Gaslands Slay Ride Advent(ure) #7: Rangifer Tarandus

Gaslands Slay Ride Advent(ure) #7 is…

… a somewhat inevitable in retrospect, reindeer.

Minimal scrutiny of the Hot Wheels Advent Calendar 2019 packaging suggests that this reindeer is a component of a combined piece.

As a result, I’m not tackling this admittedly not-very-Gaslands-y piece until the other elements appear. So keep an eye out for this in a later post. Something better due tomorrow.

Gaslands Slay Ride Advent(ure) #6: Cyclops

Some Hot Wheels redecos are not to my taste, so I re-redeco them.

Gaslands Slay Ride Advent(ure) #5: Cone

The highs and lows of advent calendar surprises are all to be experienced in the Gaslands Slay Ride Advent(ure)!

To be fair, this is probably a low.

Gaslands Slay Ride Advent(ure) #4: Ramp

In hindsight, a ramp accessory was an obvious design choice.

Gaslands Slay Ride Advent(ure) #2: Sled

Number 2 in the “Slay Ride” series is quite literal, as much as puns can be literal.  So not literal really, kinda Alanis literal.
