A Bag of Goodies (Part 1)

As most of us who are into post apocalypse gaming can attest to - getting terrain and street furniture can often be quite expensive. Whilst there is more choice now than ever before, I've found that it is still quite expensive to purchase modern scenery for our games.
Now I subscribe to the mantra that one mans trash is another mans treasure, and so a great source of potential bits and pieces can come from what others discard and throw away.

Like many places, here in Hamilton, there are a few second hand shops with toys for sale that others have donated, and our local rubbish tip also does something similar - they go through what has been thrown out, and have an area where they sell the things that are... well, sell-able...

It was whilst dumping a load of rubbish off at the tip this weekend that I had a look around and found this big bag of 'stuff' for $10...


Now this bag is big, and I instantly saw that there was at least some things inside that can be usable. It seems to all have an airport theme to the contents, and whilst some of the things, vehicles especially, don't seem to fit the 28mm scale we game with, I felt confident enough that there was something in the bag that was usable to make it worthwhile picking up for a tenner...

To give you an idea of the size of the bag, that is a Zombicide zombie placed next to it!!!

So, I'll open it up, sort through it and post up what I've found...
