Gaslands: Fire it up!

I'm steadily building up the stock of converted cars I have for Gaslands and we learn the rules, play faltering early games and make our terrain, etc.

My next conversion project was to a certain extent chosen for me.  In a social media group "Gaslands UK" they're running at competion for November, as follows:


Car of the Month November - Cult of Flame

Entry Rules Pack

Welcome gaslanders to Gaslands UK Car of the Month !!

It’s really simple to enter and the reward is a surprise prize pack provided by the Sponsor of the Month.

To enter Car of the Month simple;
- Join that months event so we know you are entering. Entry starts from the 1st of the month, however you can join during the competition.
- Take a before photo of the vehicle with either a date stamp or relevant dated product next to the vehicle. E.g. a newspaper with the date on it.
- Post a completed model by midnight on the 25th.

This will prove the vehicle is started and finished that month. All entrants must be UK residents.

For November Car of the Month, will ask you to make a vehicle from a Cult of Flame you know bonfires and all....

This can be any design oriented toward this Sponsor.

The monthly Sponsor will then judge all the entered Car of the Month vehicles from the 26th, to announce the Winner on the 30th of each month.

The Winning car will be chosen on:
- Modifications
- Paint job
- Theme

EDIT: Turns out I won the competition!

So, I figured, why not bash something together and enter!?

I'd bought a small stock of cars which are awaiting conversion, and rummaging through I found I had this thing.


It seemed most appropriate so I entered and set to work.  A couple of hours later and behold!  Ronson is born!








I gave this a little backstory too.

In the Blaydon Arena of the Northern British Norcumbrian Marches, there's a new entrant to the Gaslands bush leagues. Ron "Lighter" Ronson, in his uparmoured truck "Guzzoline". This is a Morrison Model 451F bowser truck, more commonly seen transporting potable water to the outer settlements from Drum City or the New-Gate Metropol. Its also popular with fuel transportation companies. Ronson bought the truck and converted it for the Arena.
