Cool entries!  The Brits are cool, but the cars were an unexpected and excellent entry.  The cars got my vote!

Please, tell me that those are simply converted Hot Wheels cars!  Brilliant!

All of those die-cast cars I saved for my son may have just found a new calling...

The cars are fantastic! Please tell me that they get used for SOME sort of Car Wars/Dark Future/Battlecars gaming! Please! They're excellent!

I really like the highlanders. I had a go at painting kilts and it was way harder than I thought.  Extra points for the upper socks as well.  As to my cars, they are in fact converted Hot Wheels.  Most of the armor is scratchbuilt from plasticard, but a few pieces and all of the guns are 20mm add-on kits from Stan Johanson.  The cars have yet to be used in game I'm sad to say.

Both entries are good… Anyhow, I voted for the highlanders… I guess I’m more attracted to historical subjects

I've got some of the Johansen armour and guns too, Deathwing, and a small pile of Hot Wheels cars. I must convert a few of them and get them painted - yours look great!

Lovely cars
weathering is great.
What scale are they?
What game are they for?

The cars are the stars for me.

Their scale is vague since Matchbox is all over the place, but I try to use the bigger cars, so approximately 20mm.  I haven't decided on a rule set, though I've pondered Axis and Alloys, Dark Future, etc.

Wow, the cars are really great!
I made some a few weeks ago and it hadn't crossed my mind to enter them here  ::)
We actually have two models exactly the same I think...

So far I use mine for a game called "Wreckage" from Silver Line and it's great.
I will surely use them in other games in the future, first to be tested will be Axles and Alloys.

You just gotta love Hotwheels conversions, excellent work!
