Gaslands - Racing Gates (Steve)

 I completed the set of 4 Gaslands Race Gates I got from Byron ( and his 3d Printer dood "A").  

When I took a liking to the Race Gates Byron uses on his Gaslands gaming table, I felt I should also have a set to equip myself for hosting some Gaslands games in future.   After assembling the printed parts into gates, I could not resist punching up the original gate design with a few extra bits n' bobs glued here and there to give my set of race gates their own look.

So my old 40k bitz box was raided again in pursuit of Gaslands conversions, and a some few odd bitz from my old Gorka Morka set were pilfered. (It seems my old Gorka Morka set is doomed to be repurposed for Gaslands.) Parts of sprues and scrp plastic were cut into extra gate metals, and 'spiky bitz' were snapped off the left overs from 3d printed of Gaslands weapons.   The main gate's skull on a spike  is remains from an old Warhammer Fantasy Battle conversion I abandoned over 25 years ago.  One of the gas cans I glued next to one of the gate columns, was from an old tank model my uncle had built and broken in his youth over 35 years ago, (some of those busted tanks parts found their way into my early days bitz box)........ so I am left to wonder to what extent the stuff in  my bitz box are just let over model parts verses modeling relics.    

Racing Gates are a significant terrain piece for Gaslands game scenarios such as "Death Race" and "The Race".  So whatever Gaslands cars you are currently rolling with,  a set of Racing Gates can be of use on most every Gaslands game table you battle upon.
