A couple of the (almost) final models for Dave Stone’s of Season of Scenery Challenge – we have the Pimpmobiles from the Second Edition of Zombicide – which slot perfectly into games of First Edition. While we have some approriately-scaled toy cars that we prefer to use over the cardstock pieces provided by the game, the toy cars don’t feature the “gameplay” element of being able to place individuals in the seats as you can get in and out of cars in the game. There are two general types of cars – Police Cars and also “Pimpmobiles” – the topic of this post.
These Pimpmobiles can be searched and often have slightly more powerful (especially in the early game) “custom” weapons in them. I bumped these up in the painting queue since we do use these ingame, but they really started to look incongruous as plain plastic alongside the painted player character figures and now painted zombie models as well. So I went with “loud” looking vehicles and even created some douchily-appropriate custom licence plates in Photoshop.
I’d be lying if they weren’t inspired at least in part by the custom car creators in the older Saints Row games (back when they were good). And I mean – Pimpmobiles, right?
Posting these suffered a couple of delays due to not being able to play Zombicide for the organic “in action” photos I wanted for this post due to Marouda catching the plague. (Yes, that one). Still can’t play or do anything together, so I went out and just took some pics an hour or so ago.
Of course, I still need to paint the two Police Cars that I also picked up, and I’ve only just started working on those.

Thanks Alex. I’m still pretty behind on getting my stuff posted – let alone responding to comments on here or catching up on every one else’s posts!

Excellent work on the pimp mobiles mate, they have a very 70’s feel to them, but would still fit in a modern setting.

Thanks Dave – they’re supposed to be pretty reminiscent of 70’s muscle cars so while this style of car is rare these days – they’ve what you might expect from a stereotypical cartoon(y) pimp! 😉

Thanks mate. I thought customising them would be a nice little touch for my own amusement.

Oh no, very sorry to hear about Marouda. I hope she’s feeling better and that you’re still feeling healthy, mate. Now that is how you pimp a ride! Those look great and its entertaining that they have Pimp-mobiles in Zombicide. I would have never guessed!

I’m doing okay so far, will be taking the next couple of days off work to act as socially-distanced nurse and butler in the hope that we see a big improvement on or by the weekend…
Pimpmobiles have been a Zombicide staple since the very first core set, so it’s a bit of fun to finally get these painted.
