    So this is my build for a Post-Apocalyptic game based on the Zone of the classic “Roadside Picnic” novel. Rules will be modified Zona Alfa and it’s supplement Kontraband. I’m trying to de-emphasize the shoot’em up aspect and have the players concentrate more on collecting artifacts while avoiding the denizens of the Zone.

    Most of the terrain is scratch built or 3D printed. The Zone threats are 3D printed as are most of the scientists. I’m afraid I can’t remember the manufacturers of the metal figures. Sorry.

    Hope you enjoy this and hope the pictures come through.Overview of the game.

    Partially destroyed Data Center with it’s valuable computers and computer discs. This is one of the targets of gangs in the Zone.

    This is a gang of religious fanatics, who worship the alien artifacts, and will kill any interlopers into their territory. My son rescued a corroded bit of copper piping from the plumber at my father-in-laws house. He thought I could do something with it. It is to the right of the APC (I am Captain Obvious here).

    The scientists and their guides have lost their Government forces escorts and have blundered into a large Zone inhabitant. Oh dear.

    Beer cans put to good use. We all make sacrifices for our hobby.

    Even a 3D printing misprint can be re-purposed. At least with some games.

    Yeah I do like how all sorts of stuff can be repurposed for PA or sci-fi. Top stuff.

    A fantastic display of wargaming and modelling, thanks for sharing.

    Really cool stuff!  I hope they are watching out for those slight differences that telltale an anomaly so they don’t get suddenly turned inside out.

    One funny thing I forgot to add…..

    The scientist in the yellow hoody, without the Hazmat gear, is a 3D print of a figure that is Mel the Terrain Tutor. And I have no idea where I got that. He’s carrying a notebook (probably of terrain sketches) so in this game he is the leader of the scientists.

    Wow, great looking scenery. I used quite a few failed 3D prints for my scifi scenery and its a good way to go
