Thanks, funny you should ask that as I've finished a couple of pieces...  ;)

The War Rig is complete...








One of these spiky buggers too...






...but it needed a few more spikes so...


I was about to start throwing paint around, but I may have to build one more as I've just found one of these:


Can you tell what it is yet?

Thanks guys.

I've decided to go for the Interceptor: Fury Road, the one you see for about a minute in the beginning. No one seems to have done one yet, although I am tempted to do all three versions.  ::)

I've started by popping the rivets and taking out the back.


Taken off the front bumper carefully so I've still got the post hole, poor photo I know...


Then marked where to cut off some front detail.


And hacked it off.


Then as if by magic a pile of Ramshackle bikers turn up, they're just perfect!


Curtis chucked in some spares for playing with, so out with the hacksaw.


Works well I think....

The only thing I'm really not crazy about with the car, in every release of it they did, they put on those huge low rider tires.... ugh.

Well that's what held me back off any painting, I want at least drivers in each car you can see into, just finding something suitable has been a pain.

Ooh.  Where did you get those bikes?  They look great.  What scale are they?  (Please say 15mm.)  Link, please.

I will be doing some drivers over the next few weeks. Can I please get some advice on how you want them to fit into the cars? I can do them holding a steering wheels so its easy to fit them, but is there any kind of "average size and shape" for the driver position?

I will be doing some gun turrets and mounts with with gunners too. Any suggestions  or comment would be welcome!

I can send you some car interiors so you get an idea of the average, but I will need them back. Holding a steering wheel would be great, the one I'm hacking was holding similar so I've cut the steering wheel off the stalk in the die cast and it lines up easily with the wheel in the mini's hands and looks BRILL.

For the gunners I'd suggest just how the gunners on the bikes are but with straighter legs. I'd prefer gunners without weapons, but with would be good too. I imagine folk would like quite a few baldies to mimic warboys.

I'm not sure I'll be using turrets, but I imagine plenty of folk would. In your usual style would be fine.
