After my game yesterday I decided to add one more wasteland-styled car so I can swap out at least one of my Warthogs next time I play with my raider-type force. Over the years I've liked two different aesthetics for my duelling cars; the throwback Mad Max style seen here and some more polished Car Wars near future cars that I'm planning on doing next.
For this vehicle I was able to find a Hot Wheels '32 Ford. I drilled out the posts on the bottom and took the car apart primarily so I could replace the stock flat untextured wheels with the off-road wheels from a Matchbox dune-buggy. I added a small single machine gun to the roof that is just a cutoff inverted end of a Heavy Gear missile launcher. I added some mesh to the front windscreen area slapped some paint on and I'm calling it done.
Although I'll be using them for Gaslands my next 3-4 cars will definitely be inspired by old-school Car Wars art rather than Mad Max movies.

ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteIt was surprisingly little work and tons of fun to do.
WOW, this car looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteDude; you HAVE to play this game. I'm pretty sure when I came to visit I left a converted duelling car there.
