Survival in the post apocalyptic world will mean the ability to adapt to the new reality. Sometimes that may include living underground for an extended period.
Our
survivor holds a simple
lantern in his right hand to provide him with enough light to find his way around the darkened levels of his new home. He also wears a small miner’s lamp in a band around his head.
His
gas mask provides him with some
protection from the
toxic fumes found in many sites in the
rubble of society.
And of course, he needs some
protection from
dangers far less subtle than poisonous gases, including other
survivors who have no problem in robbing unwary
survivors of their meager goods. For that reason, he carries a
military assault rifle slung over his back.
I particularly like this
miniature figure because of the lantern. It adds a different ambiance to a
post apocalyptic character that reveals another aspect of life in the
wastelands.
